    Retrolook at Fallout

    I have not played FO2 at all, I'm not about to spend $70 on the game and I have not been able to find one of those sweet deals I keep reading about on the boards. Most of the time, when I ask about FO, I get blank looks and a mumbled "Yo, old dude, those games are, like, ancient! You been in...

    Retrolook at Fallout

    From experience only in FO1, I have different problems with the NPC's. The first is getting them to hold still. "Tycho, you are almost dead. I want to give you a stimpac/use first aid/ set your broken arm." "Thanks, PC. Just chase me halfway across the screen first." The second is the...

    Various FO1 Questions

    Burst and I just don't get along. Minimum damage all the time against the bad guys, hit good guys A LOT for max damage...with high luck characters, too. I've gotten to where I like the aimed shots. I get a hunting rifle as fast as I can and aim for the eyes a lot. With the finesse trait, you can...

    Various FO1 Questions

    <pop> pulling head out of ass... I found the sledge and the rope in the hut south of the crops. I'm not sure where I got that they were in the outhouse. My screen is pretty dark (I've tried everything I can to lighten it up, with very little improvement. I don't know, I use the "highlight...

    Various FO1 Questions

    By the way, Per...either I'm totally screwing up or the US 1.1 version has some differences from your UK version aside from the children. I've done everything but stand on my head and I can't find the hunting rifle that's supposed to be in the V15 latrine. The same goes for the sledge and the...

    Various FO1 Questions

    Okay, I'm having a glitch I've never experienced before. After loading a saved game the interface commands are frozen. I can move the character around on the map but cannot perform any other functions (look, use, etc) and the buttons (Map, CHA, INV, etc) will depress and make the 'click' sound...

    Puppet regime in 8 easy steps

    Certainly not from France. It raises an interesting hypothetical...would France have surrendered to Germany before or after going to war against the US? You've called it an "Illegal War" several times, in various anti-US rants... France "expressed discontent" with something the US did...

    Dead Mutants in the Necropolis?

    Various FO1 Questions

    Okay, I will play-test it out. All the quests are there...taking on radscorpions, Gizmo, et al was fairly easy with a power fist and tesla armor. When I get to the Hub I will see if I can still send the water merchants to the vault and get the extra time. Then I will do all the quests...

    Puppet regime in 8 easy steps

    You got it, sunshine... Fuck you right back...I'm sure now that Hitler is a fading memory and the Soviets are dead and gone you are more than happy to tell the US to fuck off and say you don't owe us anything. That's fine, you got what you wanted/needed, go ahead and screw us over. Just stop...

    Puppet regime in 8 easy steps

    The US went to war because we wanted to. Legal, shmegal, kiss off. If you don't like it, declare war on us, and we will stomp your ass flat, too. We have been footing the bill to keep this planet in one piece since 1941...as long as YOUR country keeps taking our money so YOU can afford all your...

    most newbie-thing done on fallout

    A buddy gave me FO1...just the CD, no books, no research, not even the CD case. Popped it in and started playing: 1) Took the pre-generated bruiser cha 2) could not figure out the movement/turn/combat sequence 3) kept initiating combat to move, six AP's at a time 4) couldn't figure out how...

    Various FO1 Questions

    I finally got Tandi to use the SMG, rescued her, went off map, them came back and took on the Raiders...she fired burst every time, hitting me half of the time and Ian the rest. I think she hit ONE of the raiders ONCE. I just took her back to daddy and collected the xp, she's just too much of a...

    One of the things I noticed about this perk is that it will take less time to read books if you have it. Jay

    Dead Mutants in the Necropolis?

    There is a specific date that the super-mutants wipe out the Necropolis gouls, I think it's March 15th. If you get there before the date, gouls alive...after, gouls dead. Jay

    I stayed up quite late last night to finish FO 1...

    I've never seen an ending where my character blows away the overseer! I would love to see that, I've been wanting to cap that AH every since the first time I finished the game and he threw me out (even though I figured it was coming). All I have to do is pick the "Bloody mess" trait for it to...

    Various FO1 Questions

    I never tried the 223 pistol, I usually keep that honey until I upgrade the plasma rifle. If I give it to anyone, I give it to Ian after I get the Turboplasma rifle... I have tried to give her the power fist AND the 14mm...I may have to just grit my teeth and give her an SMG and see if that...
