Is there such a thing as an invincibility cheat for either the original Fallout or Fallout 2?

Apologies in advance if this gets asked a lot. I just bought the DVD trilogy pack (FO, FO2, FO Tactics) and have installed FO1 and FO2 onto Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. So far I've only played FO1 and it's doing okay. Sometimes the game starts with funky colors so I kill it and restart a few...

I wanted to post the conclusion to my dilemma in case anyone else finds this thread helpful. That guard will never stop blocking the door at Gizmo's casino if you make the mistake I did of going in wielding a weapon. So I waited until about level 3 and went back there. First I helped myself...

Evarin, To answer #1, no I didn't expand the installation tree, so I didn't know about the high-res version. I'm glad it exists though. The game is so much fun but my eyeballs have been jaded by current graphical capabilities, so sometimes I wish this old game looked a littler better...

Not sure if anyone's still following this thread, but I've been getting some mixed results with the suggestions. Using F1 hasn't cleared up my weird colors. If the game loads with weird colors, hitting F1 brings up the help screen which in turn has the same weird colors displayed in it...

On a related topic, I've been playing for only a few hours, but I get the impression maybe I haven't spent enough time grinding through the lower levels. Currently I'm level 2 and I can't survive a random encounter on the large map while traveling between sites. Even if its only two...

Thanks again Wraith. I've always enjoyed RPGs and I've played several, but I rarely finish them :-/ Everytime I start a new one I hope to break my habit of quitting before the end. Maybe this will be the one. Being that my copy is the recent Trilogy on DVD release, I'm thinking the...

Cool, I will try the F1 trick. That's much better than having to go through all the mouseclicks getting to the compatibility tab every single time I want to play.

Wraith, thanks for your help. I wasn't even sure if the whole Killian/Gizmo interaction was critical to the main quest, but it sounds like maybe not...? I got to the other Vault and saw that I would need a rope to descend the elevator shaft. Next I went to Shady Pines hoping to find someone...

I wonder how good my chances are that anyone still cares about the first Fallout game and knows the answer to this.... I started playing FO1 yesterday and already I'm stuck. I'm in Junktown and just got assigned the quest by Killian to get evidence against Gizmo. Unfortunately I made the...

Evarin, I also just bought the Trilogy DVD pack and I had the exact same problem. I'm running it with Vista Home Premium. First I looked for patches but the only one I found was for Fallout Tactics. Then I found an article about setting compatibility modes in Vista and it worked on the...
