Indeed. Having been forced to use this a few times, I'd be pretty reluctant to take it out of the game (or at least my game). There comes a time when I think people should just police themselves when it comes to bugs/exploits/whatever.

There's LOTS of in-game clues about where to find the water chip. Talk to people is my best advice, especially around the Hub. Trust me, you'll find it - it's pretty hard to miss. Posts like this should go in the Fallout RPG Gameplay & Tech section, this one isn't for game help. This...

One of my all-time favorites, but no argument, the combat performed fellatio on hoofed barnyard animals. Also the NPC AI was so bad it made you think back fondly of Ian blowing you in half with an SMG every third battle. Refuse the company of any NPC's and it becomes much more fun IMHO.

This is just an idea, but it might be a good move to simply split it all up. Bug Reports, Technical Issues (crashes, install problems, etc), and/or Gameplay Help. Might save a headache or two, especially since this thread seems to be growing at a fairly alarming rate. :)

All I can really say is "good luck". Even companies that are technically out of business are horridly protective of their engine source code. I know the Baldur's Gate community has been trying to get the source code for the Infinity Engine for ages. The last rumor I heard (which was...

Sure. They've all got issues but as I said above, it's a thin line between 'realistic' and 'tedious as all hell'. Never played X-Com Apocalypse, though. I like the idea of different AP costs for different parts of your inventory - it should be much quicker to drop an empty gun and pull a...

I hate that. I think I tried it once and never finished that game. In both Fallouts I like "low-tech" games, meaning no power armor or any weapons that require energy cells. Once I did a combat-oriented character build and only used the leather jacket, a plain ol' shotgun, and a frag...

If I'm playing a science-minded or similar character, I buy and read every book I can find, even if I'm way beyond the point it offers a bonus. Oh, and I mentioned it elsewhere, but I played a "stupid" F1 game by getting addicted to Psycho and staying that way as long as I could, then getting...

Month-old thread, but screw it... Realistic inventory management sounds good on paper, but would rapidly become an annoyance in CRPG's. Hell, just your money would probably amount to more than a person could realistically carry - any idea how much sheer space 10,000+ bottle caps would take...

Sometimes it seems the Vindicator makes the end fight too easy. That is a nasty gun.

Niiiiiiiiiiiice! :) I've often bought myself three or four drinks before losing a bunch of money at the gambling tables. Or if I win, I buy three or four more to celebrate, then hit the nearest brothel.

Cool, nice site! And the drivers were a part of the issue I was having in deciding which direction to go. Just as an example, on the ATI/AMD site they say the Radeon 9550 supports Win98, other places say it doesn't, and several don't say anything about the OS at all. In any case, none want to...

Very sorry to go off topic, but WOO HOO! I'm not the only one left! :mrgreen: But while we're on the subject; does the map travel speed affect the amount of fuel the car goes through as well? On my last run through F2 using only the official patch, I recall that I had to refuel the car...

If you've patched to 1.1 the second time limit is removed. So you can safely hire the Water Merchants and not worry about it.

Thought this might be vaguely interesting. What are some of the pointless, useless, or even detrimental things you've done for the sake of roleplaying only? One that comes to my mind is buying one of Iguana Bob’s “choice cuts” right before sticking some dynamite into his back pocket. I just...

I've had good luck with Jargo's Fallout Script Editor (FSE).

I have to admit; this is one element I'm almost glad they scrapped. Talking raccoons would be... weird. Not quite up in the same rank as a talking spore plant, but close.

Cool, hope people like 'em. :)

Re: Bozar/Flamer I didn't think to pay close attention to the effect of critical hits (dammit), but I don't recall anything that made me go "Wow!" - a couple of 100+ damage shots. The character had the Better Criticals perk (which I should have removed), but who knows - maybe Flameboy is...
