[poopskin]

sorry, had to do it.

@ Reconite i was wondering if you know where I can find the Alien Blaster ? i heard it has a 50-80 dmg ratio and would be great for my equipment especially when it could blast someone to oblivion xD

Check out this guy's vid:

That's one way to get the Alien Blaster. The Willy special encounter where he sometimes has one. But you can get it from the Alien Spacecraft Special Encounter.

Thanks man, im enjoying this new gun i love how it zaps them to ash lol there is a great amount of things you find in this game definately. i'd say its better than Fallout 3 for this feature (nothing against Fallout 3 fans its still a good game)

You might be happy to know that FOnline: 2238 Open Beta Test 3 is scheduled for release today.

FOnline: 2238 News

 

[Bernard Jazz]

Neat, downloading now.

In FO2 I just reached the point where I've got the GECK from vault 13 and hauled my arse all the way back to Arryo to find out the villagers have been kidnapped. Now I've got a problem with Enclave soldiers pasting me whenever I try and go to San Francisco

*edit*

FOnline lags to buggery. Pretty much unplayable right now

Yeah, it lags really, really badly at the moment. But remember it's only the first day of the Online Beta Test 3 so it will be fixed before it's final release.

Even give it a week and try, they're currently making updates every 5 hours to fix bugs etc.

Bit of a bump, but, awesome games.

 

Just got both recently, been playing FO2 a lot. I'm planning on DLing the restoration patch for my second play through (I was too involved in my first). I really love the details in these games. I was quite surprised when I took Vic to Val in Vault City, and how other people often responded to my party members.

[Reconite]

Yeah, there is a lot more depth in the Black Isle games than Bethesda's Fallout 3 (prove me wrong). Good luck with the game so far, hope you have the Killap Bug Patch installed (even if it's not with the Restoration Patch).

[General Goose]

No patches. When I got it, I was "OMG MUST PLAY" so I rushed into it despite knowing of the patches.

 

Some things took me a while to work out (how to reload, how to equip companions and how to enter Klamath. ), but still, great games (played a bit of FO1, the time limit peeves me off, but still great). I do love Fallout 3, and all 3 are among the best games I've played, but admittedly, I often get the feeling in FO3 that things could be done better, a feeling I rarely get when playing 1 and 2.

[Reconite]

I hope you haven't got very far in the game, seriously. You really, really need the bug fix patches, it's almost unplayable without them. The car can disappear in a glitch, your save file can become corrupted at any time, it's buggy as hell. To use the patches you have to start the game again after patching.

 

For Fallout 1:

http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/dload.php...le&file_id=1075 - TeamX Bug Fix Patch (Essential)

http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/dload.php...le&file_id=1273 - High Resolution Patch (Optional)

 

For Fallout 2:

http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/dload.php...ile&file_id=704 - Killap's Unofficial Bug Fix Patch (Essential)

http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/dload.php...le&file_id=1270 - High Resolution Patch (Optional)

 

And this one is the Restoration Patch for Fallout 2, it adds in new areas and parts of Fallout 2 which were scrapped, and it has the Unofficial Patch in it aswell so you don't need to download the Restoration Patch and the Unofficial Bug Fix Patch.

http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/dload.php...le&file_id=1097 (Optional for more stuff to do aswell as the bug fix patch)

 

I really recommend using these, you will be in hell without them, but you will have to start over.

[General Goose]

Well, I have got pretty far. I'll consider it....

 

Thanks for the links btw.

[Reconite]

 

Well, I have got pretty far. I'll consider it...

You said somewhere about Vault City?

Trust me, that's not far. Maybe a 3/10 of the way through (considering you skipped a few quests, if you did them all on the way there <Arroyo, Klamath, Den, Modoc, Ghost Farm> it might be about 4/10), even more to do if you stuck the Restoration Patch onto that.

 

And it'll be better in the end not to get ass-raped by some random glitch, Fallout 2 has hundreds of them (98% of which are fixed with the patches I provided).

Edited February 28, 2010 by Reconite

[General Goose]

Well, a bit beyond Vault City actually. But, when I think about it, still not TOO far. I guess I could easily start again. Do the mods work with the Steam version?

[Reconite]

The Steam Version eh...? Hm, I'm pretty sure these patches were meant to come with the Steam versions of the games. Though I might be wrong, if it's on your PC in a Program Files folder, the mods/patches will work.

 

As for the Fallout 1 timer, it's not hard to get the first objective done quickly, it's possible to do it with even 125 days remaining (provided you have the right skills). Spoiler but I'll tell you where to go for the Water Chip to avoid wandering around for ages. read at your own risk: The lower levels of Necropolis Vault is where you find the Water Chip (which is east of the Hub), you might want to complete a few quests on the way there because there are some hostiles down there. Once the first objective is done you will be taken off the timer and allowed to free-roam while you have time to finish the other 2 main objectives in the game. Hell, I did all the Shady Sands, Junktown and Hub quests with at least 75 days to spare by the time I got to Necropolis.

[General Goose]

The bug fixes may be in Steam, but the restoration patch isn't.

[jetlag4321]

With Fallout 3 out I decided to reinstalled Fallout 1 but I have hit a glitch very early. I run out of time in the game while walking the Vault 15 right after leaving the Vault 13 cave. I make it about 4 squares away on the map and I get the message saying the vault's water supplies have been exhausted, and the game quits. Any suggestions?

[Reconite]

Brian Menze, you genius.

[ilya]

Yeah, saw that over at NMA. "Least offensive", indeed.

[darthYENIK]

Damn, I bought the Fallout Trilogy, got it home, opened it up, put it in, and realized that it is a DVD-ROM and I don't have a DVD drive.

[ilya]

Well, then you know what to do... and I don't mean take it back.

 

Either them until you get a dvd drive, or buy one! Yes, these games are that awesome, in my opinion.

 

Or just get the GOG.com versions. $5.99 each.

 

 

 

Edit: Wise decision, friend.

Edited February 27, 2010 by Supreme.

[darthYENIK]

I'll probably pick up a DVD drive when I get paid. They aren't that expensive, and I've been meaning to get one for quite a while now.

I WANNA BE A PORN STAR CAN YOU BE A PORNSTAR IN FALLOUT 3 NO

 

[General Goose]

Does the bad ending for Gecko if you optimize the plant remain with the restoration patch?

[SaintJimmy]

Been playing through Tactics again. Don't mind it People will have a go because at points it can be non-canonical or it isn't as RPG-based as 1 or 2...but I still like it

Yeah, people seem to forget that Tactics is not an RPG, but a tactical strategy game with RPG elements. Some go a bit too hard on it for its linearity. I think it's a pretty good game, though.

 

 

Does the bad ending for Gecko if you optimize the plant remain with the restoration patch?

I dunno, did you try the patch notes? It probably does, seeing as the Restoration Patch does less modifying what's already there and more adding what the developers intended to have but didn't.

[General Goose]

If the bad ending DOES remain, I'll just PRETEND I got the good ending. I'm trying to get the ending where VC is assimilated into NCR anyway, that way, even though Redding will initially fall under VC it will soon end up under NCR (which I consider the least undesirable of the three options for Redding.)

IMPORTANT - NEW VERSION OF KILLAP'S RESTORATION PROJECT

 

 

New version is up for downloading since yesterday DOWNLOAD HERE

It has so many fixes that you cannot name them all - Must have if you are playing Fallout 2!

It also has many new stuff like bunch of new locations, quests, npcs and other that was ment to be in original but didn't make it.

 

I highly recommend anyone playing Fallout 2 to download this and install. You will be amazed how much work has been done. You do not need any other patches official or unofficial or high resolution patch since it is all included here. Best to install on clean version of Fallout 2. Anything you need you can get at biggest fallout online community - No Mutants Allowed

 

 

======================================

Release 2.0: - Released MAR/31/2010

======================================

New Content/Vanilla Game Changes:

 

Major Changes:

 

• Complete dialogue overhaul for every RP location and character

 

The dialogue in the RP often left much to be desired and it never quite fit with the rest of the vanilla dialogue. Well, this should no longer be the case and nearly all the dialogue at RP locations has been rewritten and should seamlessly fit into the rest of the game. A big thanks to community member Dravean for his help in this area.

 

• Kaga Redone

 

Kaga has been completely overhauled to be more true to his original intent. His encounters are no longer scripted sequences and nor are they forced. Kaga's encounters are just like normal encounters, but deadly ones at that. You'll get some dialogue to go along with it too, but it has completely been rewritten.

 

• Complete overhaul of the EPA

 

This location has been completely redesigned to be bigger and better than ever - new map, new dialogue, new quests, new secrets, etc. A big thanks to Pixote for his awesome mapping and graphic skills.

 

• 3 new recruitable npcs available

 

To go along with the EPA overhaul, there are now 3 npcs that can join you which are found there. The one you get depends upon the skills you have chosen to develop.

 

• Improvements to every RP location

 

Not only has the dialogue improved at every RP location, but the quests have also been altered. The quests at these locations have been improved and new ones have even been added.

 

• Shi Submarine

 

Sailing to the Enclave no longer requires just fixing up the Tanker. The undead guardian of San Francisco is preventing anything from entering or leaving the harbor and something has to be done about it. This content has finally been realized thanks to the beautiful graphic work of community member Continuum.

 

• Improved maps

 

Both vanilla and RP locations look better than ever thanks to help of community member Pixote.

 

• Vertibird is no longer flyable to the Enclave, but...

 

You no longer can fly a vertibird to the Enclave, as there really wasn't enough evidence supporting the intent of this. It didn't even make sense logically - how could everyone from your tribe, etc fit on board? However, evidence instead points to the intent for the player to stowaway on a vertibird during the Salvatore-Enclave transaction. Thus, in much the same way as the player could get to the Military Base in F1 at an earlier time than usual, the same concept is now possible in F2. The chance of survival is slim, but it's not impossible.

 

 

Other Changes:

 

• Updated Sfall to the latest version currently out (2.6a).

• Source of the "too many items bug" seems to have been found and fixed. Hoarders rejoice!

• All party members will now give text floats when crippled, radiated, poisoned, etc.

• Elevators at the EPA now act like elevators in the rest of the game (no dialogue window).

• New graphics for the cryogenic chambers as well as a new electric chair.

• Expanded Doctor Jones' (Vault 15) dialogue to bring better closure to him.

• Unlocked dialogue where The Corsican Brothers give special comments for selected Pornstar names.

• It is now possible to smell the cologne on Cody's dead body and deduce that Jules is the killer.

• You can now gain citizenship at Vault City from Lynette by blowing up Gecko's reactor. She said she would give you it, but never did. It's good to be evil.

• New and improved town map for the Abbey.

• Added "special surprise" found only after beating the game. Just travel the Wastes after beating the game and you will find this nice treat!

• Unlocked dialouge with the Enlightened One in NCR.

• Unlocked dialogue with the President discussing the Vice Presidents role in the Project.

• Added night version of the wasteland background used for NPC talking heads.

• New Child Killer karma title.

 

 

New/Modified Installer Extras:

 

• New AP Ammo mod included which fixes the problem of hitting for 0 damage (Horrigan, etc).

• Added option in the installer for new animations for the Sniper, Hunting Rifle, FN Fal and Wakizashi courtesy of Josan12.

• Added option in the installer for animations when smoking cigarettes and drugs found at EPA. Smoking too much gives you the "Smoker" karma title. Courtesy of Josan12.

• NPC Armor mod now has animations for Cassidy wearing leather armor. Courtesy of x'il.

• NPC Armor mod now has animations for Myron when he is wearing Combat armor and Power armor. Courtesy of Josan12.

• Mash's High Resolution mod. Play Fallout 2 at resolutions greater than 640x480!

• Bug with Aunt Morlis and the Flint has been corrected.

• Abbey map tweaked for improved playability.

• Corrected even more typos/grammar mistakes.

• If Marcus or Myron die after the fight with Horrigan but before viewing the ending slides the game would say they died years later. This has been fixed.

• The ending slides for the Hubologists is no longer randomly chosen but dependent upon what you do for them.

• Numerous other bug fixes/code optimizations I forgot to keep track of (or are not worth mentioning in detail). More bug free than ever!
