edit: I think I used fallout configurator for that stuff, I also fixed it with Mod Organizer's ini thing, I think those stuck. Maybe with a mod? I'm just guessing

I'd be careful with Fallout Character Overhaul, not only did it turn every NPC in my game whiter than Wonderbread, it didn't play nice with GRA weapons either.

This is a common symptom of not following the install instructions properly when a mod alters or adds races, though.

Don't know how it hosed with GRA, it's not supposed to touch that.

You know, this quote is even more depressing in Fallout than in Metro...

quote:

And now we use cartridges for currency, how morbid is that? If you think about it, one bullet is somebody's life. A hundred grams of tea cost five lives. A sausage... a mere trifle, fifteen lives. A nice leather jacket? It's your lucky day, it's on sale. Not three hundred, but just two hundred and fifty human lives

In the Fallout Universe, you have to adjust for inflation since even the most petty thug can endure a single bullet, so it costs you three times as many human lives for what they sell.

It's my main issue with both fallout 3 and NV that the songs are way too catchy. After months of not playing either, I'd still find myself humming one or two of the songs. Not that they're bad, but when it gets stuck in your head for days on end it's irritating.

I hadn't played either game for 3 years when I caught myself singing Big Iron. I feel like the only way to get one out of your head is to get another in there.

I remember reading online once 'your brain is like a internet browser, sometimes you need to shut some tabs or it will crash' and someone else added 'I can never find the tab that's playing that same song over and over'.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
I played way too much of both F3 and FNV too quickly so after about a week I just turned the ambient music completely off, never used the radio and would just throw something on Pandora or Netflix half the time. It made the times you would catch random snippets of a song or news broadcast on a nearby radio while bartering with shopkeeps or talking to the King that much more immersive.

"The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering."
Dude "Butcher Pete" seriously is a catchy song.

It's actually surprising how much more dangerous the wasteland becomes when you shut ambient music off, because then there isn't any combat music to tell you that you are currently being approached by an enemy. The silence also lends a lonely, solemn feeling to the world.

So I'm going through another FO3/NV binge, but I figured I might as well get some of the first two games under my belt before I play NV again. Still, I'm not sure if I really feel like playing both, and I've been told that you can just play FO2 and have a better isometric experience. Does that sound about right to Fallout veterans?

I'd go with the original over FO2, personally.

You did a super job wrapping things up! And I'm not just saying that because I have to!
Fallout 2 is wacky but also insanely epic. It's a huge game though, so I'd recommend Fallout 1, which is a bit more compact, as well as being more tonally consistent if you're into that sort of thing.

Fallout 1 I find is a more cohesive and tight experience. Fallout 2 is also good but it kinda veers into "LOL WACKY POP CULTURE REFERENCE TIME!" territory sometimes.

Had a couple of drinks.
Saw a couple of things.
Fallout 1 and 2 are seriously two of the best games ever, you should play both.

Fixit for fallout 1 - http://www.nma-fallout.com/showthread.php?194562 basically lets you play in windowed mode and all kinds of other good stuff (fixes, etc) and can be used as a "unofficial patch". Also has optional fan content that I avoid wholeheartedly.

Also found this android app but haven't had the chance to use it yet - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eltechs.erpg&hl=en

Fallout 2 I'm using this mod to do the same thing for 1 (play in windowed mode mostly) - http://www.nma-fallout.com/showthread.php?202265-Fallout-2-Restoration-Project-2-3-3-(Unofficial-Expansion)

The writing is really bad at times. But that was a different time - AAA Game of the Year level games came out from really small companies. Fallout 2 was developed from 1997-1998 and had a tiny dev team.

Half-Life 1 was amazing in terms of the writing and attention to detail compared with the status quo at the time.

FO2 is thematically closer to F:NV than FO1 is, I think.

That said, I got into FO2 first (was that in 1998?). I was 10 y/o back then and it came to be the most replayed game of my childhood, so there's that. Got into FO1 much later and... well, it was good and all but just felt so empty compared to FO2. It's also really short.

I guess I also prefer it when games don't take themselves too seriously.

Bottom line, play both FO1 and FO2, they are incredible games. You can use a speed-up tool: http://falloutmods.wikia.com/wiki/Sfall

"The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering."
It's funny because, when I first played it, I wasn't really old enough to recognize a lot of the pop culture references being made in FO2. I knew that there were a lot of weird things going on in the game--a bespectacled radscorpion, "Tragic, the Garnering" cards, a Mike Tyson-style boxer, etc.--but it didn't seem as prevalent as it did in subsequent visits, probably because a lot of them went over my head or just seemed weird (rather than reference-weird).

Still, I've always liked the outlandishness of FO2. The belligerent ghoul bartender, Wooz, who screams at you as you play "Tragic" games and trade insults with him. "I won! gently caress you! You are dumb. I have crushed you." Or when you go searching for Woody the Ghoul in The Den, and discover that he's been trapped, painted up as a "Jan-u-wine Egyptian Mummy" and put on display by a local man calling himself the "Great Ananias". "Holy poo poo! That *is* Woody! Run Woody, run for it! Well, uh, gimp for it then! Go Woody go!" leaving Ananias to remark that he should have stuck with "mono-headed Brahmin".

This looks way cool! Hadn't heard of it. Gonna check it out on my nexus 7.

The fallout 2 resolution fixer has a config option to let you directly control your companions in combat. Highly recommended unless you like SMG fire in the back.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
The problem with Fallout 1 is that the game doesn't really start to pick up until Junktown. That, and there's an obviously optimal good path to take every time. Being an rear end in a top hat gets you nowhere and will lock you out of quests with no benefit.

Fallout 2 has both the god-awful Temple of Trials and boring Klamath, but once you hit the Den you're golden. It's also a lot less goody-goody, and in some cases being a complete rear end in a top hat is the right move. New Reno alone is filled with opportunities for you to gently caress people over for personal gain.

Wasn't this mostly relegated to random encounters? Some of that poo poo was bad but it's not like it was all shoved into the critical path like any Working Designs localization job from the 90s.
