    Is Fallout 2 requiring much of minmaxing?

    Yeah, I think that's true. Memory is a bit hazy though. But a quick google search gave some confirmation too. According to the wiki his outdoorsman skill is nothing special though: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/John_Cassidy

    Is Fallout 2 requiring much of minmaxing?

    My advice: Don't worry to much about min-maxing for your first playthrough. The game is perfectly winnable with a subpar character. Besides, not being able to solve every situation in the most profitable way, actually improves the flow of the game. Else you'll spent more time looking at a...

    Q: clarifying how things were, before being changed after Fo2

    I am more than happy to clarify a few things about Fallout 1&2. But before I do that, I’m hoping you can shed some light on the following: Let me get this straight. You read about the classic fallout games, you watch let’s plays and you make a lengthy forum post with questions regarding lore...

    Fallout 2 mod Fallout 2 Restoration Project 2.3.3 (Unofficial Expansion)

    The SAD has many flaws. For example: there’s way too much loot and needing 127% science is not really justifiable for a mediocre companion. There are no other science checks above 81% in the base game and there are better companions that can be acquired earlier and cost less effort or skill...

    Fallout 1+2 naked nude girl mod

    Everyone knows that a game cannot be considered respectable if there aren't any nude mods for it. But all these years modders have just been creating superficial stuff. Finally, someone creates the only mod that matters! Reinstalling now and eagerly anticipating the hours of glorious...

    Terrorist attack on French satirical magazine

    For the last time, I used Pegida as an example to showcase my point, not as the main subject of my post. After nearly every terrorist threat or attack there are long-term changes to society, new legislation is being pushed, new rules are imposed and more authority is given to law enforcement...

    Terrorist attack on French satirical magazine

    I didn’t say Pegida was formed after the attacks in France, or any particular terrorist attack, for that matter. I used it as an example, since their demonstration was called off after threats made by terrorists, which, in the light of the recent attack in France, were taken very seriously. I...

    Terrorist attack on French satirical magazine

    Charlie Hebdo has had several contributors, only a few of them were Jewish. As for the violence in Niger. Like SnapSlav said, it's what radical Muslims do. Christians, Jews, Atheists, French people, to them they are infidels anyway, and according to the Quran and Boko Haram's interpretation...

    Terrorist attack on French satirical magazine

    I suppose that is where our opinions differ. I think terrorist attacks are scary because they force a reaction, with often undesirable results for the population as a whole, which in turn changes our society. Easy there, I wasn’t making a case for Pegida. I used their cancelled demonstration as...

    Terrorist attack on French satirical magazine

    In common usage, fear, by default implicates irrationality. We use adjectives to discern between rational and irrational fear. My example of the mayor of Dresden prohibiting a demonstration is, in my opinion, a clear case of a rationally justifiable act. A possible terrorist attack constitutes a...

    Terrorist attack on French satirical magazine

    It’s not about the number of casualties caused by terrorist attacks. Although they can be very severe, as the 9/11 attacks have shown. The real battles are fought in between the terrorist attacks and threats. Those are the moments where, figuratively speaking, terrain is gained or lost. Those...

    How exactly does the combat work?

    Just once at the start of the battle. Allthough it's not a roll, just a static number where higher is better. This can lead to a situation where a character can get two rounds in succession. If for example your character has 14 sequence and your enemy with sequence 12 initiates combat it would...

    What are the chance to hit formulae

    I’m not familiar with the formulas, but I do know weapons also have inherent stats, yet not all of these stats are visible in the game. See the article on weapon perks here.

    Fallout 2 mod Fallout 2 Restoration Project 2.3.3 (Unofficial Expansion)

    You could try the patch. If possible, you should try on a different computer. Maybe your install CD is damaged.

    Fallout 2 mod Fallout 2 Restoration Project 2.3.3 (Unofficial Expansion)

    Somehow I don’t think that the problems stem from the gameplay options. Do you get this error when playing the vanilla game, that is, without the RP? Make sure that installing the .frm’s for missing children is checked. Even if you do happen to have the US version, it won’t hurt. That is as it...

    Fallout 2 mod EcCo Gameplay Overhaul (new version for RPU)

    I’m playing your mod for several weeks now, so I feel it’s time to do a little write-up and give you my 2 cents. First, I’ll start by describing myself as a player. I’ve been playing fallout 2 ever since it came out. The first years quite fervently and now probably once a year or so, whenever...

    Fallout 2 mod Fallout 2 Restoration Project 2.3.3 (Unofficial Expansion)

    Hmm, I have different hardware, but the same OS. Here’s how I install the game: Humongous install in d:\games\fallout2 RP installer with all options (except a few things like the dogmeat armor among others) Configure the high res patch (1280*720) I don’t set it to compatibility mode...

    Fallout 2 mod Fallout 2 Restoration Project 2.3.3 (Unofficial Expansion)

    I don’t think the RP has a proper uninstaller. By using the uninstaller that comes with Fallout 2 some files will remain. Doesn’t really matter though, simply delete the installation folder and its contents. For the ‘round the world squeaky clean wash’, you could run a registry cleaner. Also...

    Fallout 2 mod EcCo Gameplay Overhaul (new version for RPU)

    I’ve configured sfall and got a debug.log from the (in my game) bugged save. The file was actually almost 15mb mainly because the last line was repeated ad infinitum ‘2ERROR: attempt to reference map var out of range:’. I’ve shortened it considerably for your viewing and downloading pleasure...
