With a good hex editor, a save game at the beginning, and a cheat sheet explaining the file format of the save.dat file from the fallout wiki, you can generate a character with maximum capabilities plus more (ie: maximum DR and DT against every attack, increase carrying capacity to some max...

Buy a cheap PC. You can probably get a cheap PC that can run Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 and reasonable speeds for less than $300 now days. The slower it is, the more encounters you will have. :D After you are done playing with it, install Linux or netBSD and setup it to be your custom...

You will get radiated a few squares on the world map before the glow, so you may want to take the rad-x pills before you even approach the area around the Glow. Pick up some Rad-Away's too. You may want to play this part of the several times, trying to find the shortest path through the...

Fallout 2 works well with Windows XP. You might have to tweak some video and sound settings, but that's describe in the sticky at the top of this forum. I had problems getting Fallout 1 to work with Windows XP. The only way for to get rid of the problem of the screen going blank is to...

I get some random encounters with my P3 800 MHz computer. I set my outdoors to like 100% too. With my K6 266 MHz, I would be ambushed too often. I remember once that it took me two hours to traverse from Den to Modoc because of the many random encounters I was having. Some people have...

Obviously, the installation must have some file or files that represent the original maps and the state of the game. After you wander around modify the world, the new update has to be be done somewhere. My guess its saved in a new file under the save game slot directories. Each time you enter...

F02 has been criticized for slow load times before because of the size of the maps and number of entites on those maps. FO2 loads quite fast on my 800 MHz P3. It only takes like 5-10 seconds to load games or to enter another area. Starting the game only takes a few second. On my 300 MHz...

The NPC's you can pick up in fallout 1 do not have a lengthy life space in terms of usefulness. When you start fighting super mutants, the NPC's have a tendancy to get cut down in one hit. I just let them get blown to bits or I tell them to stay behind before marching off to some extremely...

I made a mistake in my first posting here. I meant that I could only get Fallout 1 to work with Windows ME on my computer. I was a little confused about the discussion between fallout 1 and fallout 2.

Well, I think I know why my computer doesn't have any problems with FO2. I got lucky. I went to some Windows XP optimization (blackviper) web page and deactivated many of the useless services. Also, I installed the minimal sound blaster drivers from creative wihtout their fancy control...

I have been having the same problem with windows xp and GeForce Ti 4400 card. I also have the same problem with another computer with the onboard integrated Intel graphics chip. If I deactivate the video driver, hitting a key during the intro movie will cause a strange failure with the video...
