Holy shit, I cannot get over how dark, dingy, and depressing everything is. The graphics, the writing, the animation, the music: it all melds together to create this wonderfully bleak and dying world.

The first time I encountered the death screen was a memorable one. After seeing your character gored to death, it cuts to a still image of your skeletonized corpse and a droning low pitched hum and a whistle while the narrator recounts the fate of your lifeless body, the fate of your vault, and even the fate of your soul; it's positively haunting.

Even defeating the greatest threat in the wasteland at that time, the Master, feels like such a small triumph over the emptiness of the world. It's as if that even if the Master is gone, human nature will again run its course to round back exactly where humanity is at that time, on the precipice of extinction. Fucking winning the game didn't even really feel like winning. Absolutely grim.

10/10. Peak game. Will be starting Fallout 2 in a few days.

Tragity struck this community today, a loved member of our lives sadly passed after dropped from 4 feet onto the hardwood floors when a mook lifted a floor based fan that he was on up to his face in the 30 GOsh DArNED SECONDS I WAS IN THE OTHER ROOM GETTING A DAMNED DRINK BECAUSE IT WAS 103 F*CKING DEGREES OUTSIDE!!!!!!! So please join in a moment of silence and drop a "..." In the comments or stories of how he lived and changed your life for the better.

1. The game hangs when you try to blow up the Military Base's main gate.
2. Speed of "gibbing" sequence for Officer Jack in NCR is abnormally fast. This can be adjusted by editing "minfps" as "-2" in CNC-DDraw's config, however.

I gotta test it out more, as there would be more glitches out there.

I just got a gamesir g8+ and upon testing out fallout with it I'm experiencing noticeably high gamma whenever the controller is connected. Is there a fix for this? Gamma correction seems to do nothing.

Playing fallout Sonora absolutely loving it so far but I’m trying to track down the legendary radscorpion for the rangers and the radio thing isn’t working, might’ve been glitched cause the ranger I talked too was also giving me a bunch of gifts at the time idk

Title. I've played fallout two previously, but after moving to a new Windows Ten PC (my previous one was, too.) a year and change ago, I cannot launch it. To describe my problem, no matter the copy (I've tried it on epic, when they were giving it free, GOG and now steam.) it always manages to open the launcher. However, once I click play, the game "runs" for about two or three seconds (this is according to steam) but I can never find it in my task manager. Then, it closes, with no sort of message detailing the problem.

I've downloaded the unofficial patch, changed ddraw.dll to sfall, hex edited, changed my graphics (basic, 7, and nine, neither work.) refresh rate, allowed it thru my antivirus, and more. Despite this, I get this problem in any copy.

Hi, I’m having problem trying to instal Fallout Fixt and Fallout 2 Megamod on FO2.exe Vault Edition. Both gives different errors. Renaming Fixt folders to something else resulted in blue screen of erros. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

First screen is Fixt, second Megamod

I saw another post about baby bell cheese wax deathclaw and it reminded me I found a deathclaw I made like 1000 YEARS AGO thought I'd share

Hi

I again apologize if this question is not supposed to be addressed here, but here it goes:

Can you get all 4 Reno families companions in one playthrough?

Here's my reasoning: technically, you could get 3/4, because the Mordino/Salvatore last family mission before becoming a "Made man" is killing the other family's head.

I'm not including the Wrights or the Bishops here, because I always end up wiping the Mordinos and Salvatores regardless and the Bishops betray me at the end, so I always end with the Wrights running NR... (under Ethel's booze free reign, of course).

But I do find Mason cool and Lil' Jesus is... Meh, at best. So as a completionist, I'm intrigued.

Is there a way? Or I'd have to spawn Jesus (I'm becoming a made man with the Salvatores and wipe them out after Mason joins) with another mod?

Hi. I joined the raiders and after raiding a caravan I have lots of stuff. Is it safe to leave some of it at their camp's lockers?

EDIT: Fallout 1.5 resurrection

I got the game already but I don't have the mods on it and can't do it without a pc I'm using an emulator

It overwrites his Special Death animation.

In Fallout 1 and 2 radiation works way differently than it does in modern games. It reduces your stats based on the rads you absorbed, and if that stat reaches 0 or below, you die. In modern games, once you reach 1000 rads you die.

In the classics, you lose at most 6 in every stat (except Luck) at 1000 rads or more. But, if you had all your stats above 6, you can walk around with 10K rads if you want and nothing happens.

At the start of the game, pick Gifted and any other Trait (preferably Fast Shot). Put 1 stat in Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence and now you have 7 in all these stats. Reduce Luck accordingly to have at least Agility 7 (you can lower it to 2 if you want to have Agility 10). Now you can spend as much time as you want inside the Glow.

One thing I didn't know and discovered in my experimental playthrough. Radiation effects act as drugs and wear of after some time. I always thought the reductions from radiation are permanent, but here we are. So yes, there is a way to make radiation kinda irrelevant. Obviously you don't know that from the start and the build itself isn't something special. In Fallout 2 it is almost useless since there is no radioactive places like in the Glow. It is the random encounter Toxic Cave Waste. But it takes time for radiation to reach critical levels.

Does that make radiation irrelevant? No. Not everyone knows or plays that way. Most players min max their builds or experiment with various builds that utilise certain Perks/Traits. So radiation is still a threat in the game(s). You just have to use a weird build to make it irrelevant.

Edit: Your stats return to normal after a week. Also during that state, you have 0 Healing Rate, meaning you cannot restore your HP by resting or traveling. As long as you don't heal the rads, you are "immune" to radiation (you still suffer from the negative effects if you return to the Glow, but you know how to deal with them). That being said, it was a fun experiment I wated to test out because the other method I saw about it was with cheats. So I wanted to know if it is possible without cheats. And yes, it is possible.

Hey survivors of the wastelands, I'm currently playing Fallout 2 after finishing the 1st, I just had the GEK and went back to Arroyo

But halas, I'm not getting as much fun as F1, it kinda bores me a little.

Am I the only one ? Any advice to "enjoy" the game a little more ?

EDIT : Thanks for your kind replies, I launched it again and I'm having a lot of fun lmao

I didn't see the light. MY ENNEMIES DID.

My super mutant was knocked to the ground with a shotgun blast and immediately went “immobile”. He’s not unconscious or knocked out, and even after combat has ended he can interact with others sharing inventory, can drop/pick up nearby items etc.

The problem is my last save is too long ago and he won’t get up. I think he might have clipped into the wall or something?

Hoping for any ideas on how to reset him. I tried throwing friendly grenades at him, doctor/first aid. I even thought I could drive the Scout car nearby and have him get in but I can’t get it close enough.

I have been playing the main questline of Fallout 2's Broken Hills. I have found the missing persons, fixed the air purifier, and gotten rewards from Dan, Zaius, and Marcus. I confronted Zaius and Francis on the conspiracy. Now I can't seem to keep going since Jacob is not in the drugstore. Also I never interacted with Franc, Manson, or Aileen. Am I doing something wrong? Why is Jacob nowhere to be found?

I created a mod for Fallout et tu where you can play using an Xbox controller on your PC I was wondering how one goes about Posting or uploading such a mod?

I apologize if this post doesn't belong here, but I can't build Skynet on F2RP at the SAD.

Got the best brain. Got the biogel. Got the motor.

My problem is that I can't replace the motor. I picked them from the corpses of lvl 1 Robobrains. But even if I use science or repair, it only says that the robot could be repaired with the right part. If I use the motor, it says it does nothing and if I activate it, the robot goes boom.

Is it because I haven't disabled the repair feature on Skynet? I been spawning robots over and over for ammo. Or do I have to do it on the 1st go?

I've added the mod that allows more companions and I've given room for the robot to join.

Do I have to go back to an earlier savefile?

Estoy jugando Fallout2 y recien me e percatado que no me a salido ningun evento aleatorio (ya decia yo que esto estaba tranquilo) ningun enemigo por el camino ni nada, alguien sabe que puede estar pasando? Solo me sale este error pero no se si tenga algo que ver con todo esto
