    Experimental Pariah dog

    Just like reading any other book. I would think so, but never really noticed. It will at least reset your First Aid & Doctor skills for another go, so I suppose the answer is yes? -Zig

    Various FO1 Questions

    I'd rather have the hunting rifle too. As I recall, the rifle isn't always there...at least in the US version. -Zig

    Experimental Pariah dog

    Not needed, Becky's Book let's you rest at any location. Saved me from losing Lenny in the middle of nowhere once, not that that would be a great loss :) -Zig

    Get the 1.02 patch, the dog will follow you even after he's dead without it. -Zig

    Experimental Pariah dog

    Well, he's technically not really a dog, but a luck vampire. You can't really kill him permanently anyhow. -Zig

    I know, it's a stupid question....

    Even then, you can't be standing too close to the object you want them to work on. -Zig

    Experimental Pariah dog

    With an LK of 1 it's difficult to find any special encounters at all without the outdoorsman skill to counter it. Wander aimlessly on foot in the plains south of Redding & West of New Reno. With high outdoorsman skill of 150+...You'll run into Pariahs, the Toxic Waste Dump, Mad Brahmin, &...

    Does the "Swift learner" perk actuallly work?

    Crashing stats, drop EN & IN to minimum using chems (pretty safe), & radiation (can kill your char if you aren't careful) but needed if you have really high stats that won't drop to 1 with just chem use. Basically reduces the cost of sp per point. Use chems to max these stats before...

    Screen Size during play

    One more thing to try is go into your fallout2 directory & rename the fallout2.cfg file to something else (like fallout2_bak.cfg). FO2 will create a new one when you run it...could be a corrupted file...If the game stutters afterward, up the art_cache_size to something useful like 150, instead...

    Screen Size during play

    Maybe it needs an even number to scale up, fo2 runs in 640x480...try 1280xwhatever...can't hurt. -Zig

    Does the "Swift learner" perk actuallly work?

    spoiler . . . . . . . . . . . . . Survivalist exploit: horde skillpoints, read all the scout handbooks you can, then put all skillpoints into outdoorsman. Get 'survivalist perk'. Lower outdoorsman back to what it was before the perk. Use the new skillpoints wherever you want...

    Does the "Swift learner" perk actuallly work?

    You can go fro lvl 3 to lvl 5 without choosing a perk, but any new perks obliterate the old ones. When I start a skilled character I hold off unti lvl 7 before using the 'suvivalist' exploit , even though it was available at lvl 4. Amplifies the exploit 3 fold... -Zig

    Screen Size during play

    If you don't mind messing up your desktop icons, try changing the res yourself before running the game. Then exit the game & switch back. Maybe it will notice & wake up res-switching again. -Zig

    Refueling the car in Fallout 2

    Actually I always wondered this too, so I used the mapper to see what it was...The Bookcase is actually 2 objects, the container (that you can't pick up since the pickup flag isn't set), & the Bookcase corner (there are 4 of them, 3 weigh 1099 Lbs, 1 weighs 1010). Better get started on your...

    Junk in the Ratcave

    What version of FO2 are you running? I believe you're referring to the 300Lbs...yes, that's 300 pounds of robot parts you can get from the broken repairbot next to the tool...as far as I know they only show up in the unofficial patches...and no, I have no idea what they're for...But if anyone...

    Have You Seen These Bugs?

    Nope, modifying LK in Falche2 doesn't produce the same effect for me as the real deal. But I think your right about starting a new char but leaving LK alone, also I'd add xp & get the engine to choose the perk & zetas instead. Perhaps cheat in $5k, megapowerfist, cells, & car part for...

    Have You Seen These Bugs?

    I ran across a bug in the Falche2.1 editor that makes it look like that's true, but it's not. I got tired of building up characters to lvl 12, but soon ran into anomalies when using the editor. Raised my LK=1 char to LK=4 in Falche, compared him to my "real" LK=4 char...Sure enough, it's the...

    Most addiction withdrawl lasts about 2 weeks after you get symptoms, except for jet of course. Good time to do some reading. -Zig
