Yes, in my last game, my character Snake Plissken got pushed over the edge by one too many unappreciative talking heads. First he did all the quests for Jesus Mordino, yet was not invited to become a Made Man. Snake got pissed and butchered the entire casino. Feeling a twinge of conscience he...

I think 45 minutes of moving the pointer over every pixel in the area around the crescent tip, four or five times each, was pretty patient. It wasn't there.

Yeah, Trinity. The first atomic bomb test, remember? Grounds for a ban? Gee, glad I went to the effort to share some humor.

I suspect many of us have been there, unloading the followers of valuable items before you head somewhere they are likely to get killed, just had to capture it with a screenshot....what a chore to unload them.... http://mywebpages.comcast.net/chuft/fallout/junkyard.gif

Strange Blades bug in Adytum This contains some Fallout 1 spoilers so don't read it if you haven't finished Fallout 1. After talking to Zimmerman, taking the quest, talking to Razor, talking to Gabriel, killing the deathclaws, talking to Gabriel again and talking to Razor again, I...

It's not just resistances, it's the damage threshold which is really devastating. Having your bare skin have a damage threshold of 15 points before you even do the resistance calculation just makes a lot of weapons completely ineffective against you. Combined with armor, you can easily get...

Thanks for confirming what I suspected, both about the difficulty, and about how a first time player would have no way to anticipate the problem and know what to do. This problem seems to require starting the entire campaign over with a big guns oriented team from the beginning. Strange - the...

>BUT get rid of them goddamn Toxic/gecko waste sites, their so annoying! I run into them constantly Strange, I never run into them. In six or seven games of FO2 I think I found the toxic waste dump once. Do you have to be lucky, or unlucky, in terms of the Luck stat to find this "special...

Well, in Arcanum they wouldn't let you sleep in the street either, but they provided hotels. You can sleep in NCR, San Francisco etc. Just not Vault City. It would not be so annoying except almost everything you do there is "official business" and they all close at night.

Do you consider it cheating to become the boxing champ in the early or mid-game in FO2? It seems to me to drastically change the game if you do it. Having done it a few times, I am now considering not doing it anymore except for melee/unarmed characters, since it seems to make the gunfights...

I would like a mod which made more areas in FO2 radioactive, as this is something I think is missing from the game that should have been implemented. As it is, it seems there is almost no use for radiation chems except as a form of money. It would be neat if you needed a lot of them to hang...

I wish there was a mod which would allow you to get a quest from the Rangers to wipe out Vault City and free the slaves there, and not lose karma from doing so. It seems odd that you lose karma from killing what are in effect slavers, and you can't free the slaves there. Very different from...

Note there is a person you can barter with for the super repair kit. You have already visited this person - you just have to keep going back and checking their stock occasionally. The person selling it is one who might be expected to stock such things.

Warning: spoilers. I tried to black them out, but then my post showed up grey! Hi, I have been utilizing Per's excellent walkthrough in my latest playings of FO2 and have experienced some fun new things as a result. However I have run into the occasional question, such as these: Try as...

Hello all, I am a big fan of Fallout and Fallout 2. I have tried my hand at Fallout Tactics, using the individual turn-based mode, and gotten as far as Jefferson but at that point it just seemed too difficult to continue. Unlike the two earlier games, I seem to still be in leather armor and...
