Some more ideas: Melee weapons that SWING have +5% to hit. Melee weapons that THRUST have +5% critical chance. This underlines the idea that Sharpened Spears and Combat Knives are for fighting masters, whilst Sledgehammers and Crowbars are for thugs that just want to clobber someone. Making...

Glad you like it! I'm personally extra pleased with how the throwable explosives turned out. It's never going to be very practical in combat, but chucking a boomstick through Metzger's window is a hilarious way to start the fight, and since quite a few shops restock them they can serve as a poor...

Imma necro this thread, for the simple reason that I want these talking heads so badly. Drobovik, did you ever get around to finishing that expansion?

And this is what I sorely miss in every RPG that isn't Planescape Torment or Fallout 2. I *want* my main character to have a lot of personality. I don't want to have to imagine it myself. If the main character is just a glorified teleprompter then that takes away all the fun of talking to people.

Fallout was never about the 1950s, it was about the dystopic future that people envisioned in the 1950s. Mark Morgans grungy industrial ambience fits that future. "Bongo bongo bongo" does not.

Fallout 2, beyond comparison. New Vegas has good dialogue, but Fallout 2 is fucking fantastic. Hakunin: "Many dark souls came, riding the metal birds like a flock of hungry chittick bugs, hiding their evil in shiny suits." The Chosen One: "Oooo! Shiny purty!" Hakunin: "*sigh* No. Not shiny...

One in 20, actually. I believe it's a holdover from Fallout's pen-and-paper roots, where if you rolled a 1 on a 20-sided die, you were fucked no matter what.

Apologies for being cranky earlier, I've had little sleep lately. Modding initiative is always encouraged. I think the general opinion so far is something like this: A "Hunt"-button would be inordinately difficult to implement in the way it's outlined here, and is mostly for convenience...

But the menus are so small! How do you live with that dialogue screen? Is there a mod that scales them up to that size?

But don't you get annoyed by everything being so small? Personal preference I guess. But yes, that's also an option.

Okay then, listen up: This is a bad idea because it doesn't do anything that's not already in the game. Want to hunt? Want to ignore the fact that your village is dying and spend months traipsing the wilderness looking for nearly worthless gecko hides? You can do that already. Just move...

The developers created the entire game using that mapper. I assure you, it works.

What is "shelter"? Why does the outdoorsman skill INCREASE the chance of losing health? Why would I press the Hunt button when I can just move around normally on the worldmap and get random encounters that way? What are you smoking?

Hello! You've just downloaded Fallout 2 from Steam, and it comes with both sfall and the high resolution patch. What a mess! And they're configured wrong, so the game gets scaled way too far up, people look like ants, the text is unreadable and the windows look all wrong on your widescreen...

I've lost the source code for the installer, so I had to reverse engineer the executable with ILDASM. But I'm happy to say that now it will no longer fail to run in windowed mode! I've updated the download here on NMA, and will probably just take down the Mediafire link for now.

I've fixed the installer so that it should run properly for all console window sizes now. No more stupid error messages on startup!

Magnus updated Fallout 2: Weapons Redone with a new update entry: Installer update Read the rest of this update entry...

Hello everyone! I just realized that we can't have files up on Mediafire that are not also up here on NMA. So now that's done. I'll see about getting an icon for it too. Going to start my RP + F2WR playthrough now, wish me luck!
