Fallout Playing Fallout 1 for the first time

[Cohesion]

which is also why Im not going to mod FO2

If you don't want to use the Restoration Project, use UPU (https://github.com/BGforgeNet/Fallout2_Unofficial_Patch/releases). Or at least use the new sfall. No point in playing the game with the 15 years old sfall that comes with gog/steam.

Do you really need sfall?

The difference between sfall 3.2 (gog) and the new one is YUGE! Just in terms of bugfixing. The difference between nosfall and the new sfall is probably not much bigger, since 3.2 is almost as basic as if you were playing without it.

Anyway, if you don't want to use UPU/RPU/whatever... use sfall.

I am going to install UPU, it will be the only mod\patch I use

I will provide feedback of my FO2 experience once Im 20 hours in or so

Fallout 2 battles on average have even more characters involved than the first game. Utterly insufferable to play without it.

 

[agris]

playing at 120% speed is a nice compromise between being able to appreciate the death animations, and making running just a bit faster.

also enable the instant interact option in sfall, as well as the "play idle animation on reload".

If you have already downloaded v27, a hotfix was released couple of hours ago (v28), so use that .

Spoiler

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

Isn't Sfall already integrated into the gog builds, and the Bethesda ones?

20 hours in and as predicted its been a very entertaining CRPG experience. I like all the changes compared to FO1 and they improve on some of the original mechanics like how you interact with your companions

I have completed loads of quests and activities in the starting towns that include the Den and Redding. I love how they have expanded on the themes in the dialogue so you come across hilarious options where you accuse people of bigotry like how Sulik was being treated and the general low opinion some people have of you " being a tribal person"

I am particularly enjoying the lack of resources and money on early levels but I got lucky, I joined a Caravan to Vault City and despite some really tough random encounters I was able to survive and I looted from the dead enemies loads of new weapons and ammunition which I plan to sell and use now that I have reached Vault City

And combat seems harder, or at least much harder enemies like the Wanamingo. I still cant kill them yet but now I have better weapons I will go back to the mines in Redding

But I like the harder combat.

Further updates to follow after 40 hours or so

I completed FO2 after about 65 hours, It was a fantastic game and I did prefer it to FO1 but they both excellent CPRG will all the mechanics that we love from that era of gaming

Its also not really a fair comparison because FO1 is the original, iconic game and the developers couldnt predict it would be a success so FO2 has the benefit of expanding on established themes and lore which I appreciated like the Enclave, Hubologists and the NCR.

But the highlights for me around FO2 were similar to FO1 and they include

• real character customization and this allows you to truly solve quests in different ways so you feel your characters build matters
• open world and real sandbox and lots of quests and ways to influence your own journey and reasons to explore the world map
• unique towns and factions, I loved the lore around New Reno and Vault City
• a varied choice of weapons and an economy that means you need to find and sell resources like weapons. Ammunition being my biggest constant drain on my finances. I like this type of in game economy because you dont take money for granted

I had one major point of frustration and that was initially travelling on the world map and having to encounter endless random encounters as enemies but once I started increasing my outdoor skill that was vastly reduced and the world map became fun

i have decided Im going to play FO3 again and continue my Wasteland adventures but not right now

And finally I give F02 a 78/100 on the globally respected " BruceVC game rating system "

Its highly recommended for anyone who wants a fun and worthwhile CRPG experience

He really is a rare breed of having shit opinions on both games and politics

 

[Gilius Thunderhead]

65 hours, wow. And that's without bloat mods. You truly are retarded(no offense).

BruceVC: People here talk non-stop about two legendary games. Should I play them in 12 years?
Also BruceVC: Nah.
You’re African, resident racists will call you dumb for giving low scores for FO1-2.

He didn’t play any of them.

Not sure I agree with the esteemed BruceVC rating system at all, but it is interesting to see someone play these games fresh in 2023 and hear what they think.
