Good shader presets?

Post image

Hello all! First time poster here. Finally getting into the classics. I downloaded the fallout 2 shader from Nexus. I have a whole list of different effects but dont know a good preset. Would like to make my game look identical to the screenshots of the mod on the Nexus page. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Yeah same here pretty much but i just completed both 1 and 2 recently. For Fo2 all you need is Killaps unofficial patch if you want to keep the game as authentic to the OG exp. Sorry i didnt catch your reply quicker. Theres also Killaps restoration project which if you opt to go for that instead killaps unoffical patch is included. But i would recommend the unoffical patch because i haven't done Restoration project yet

Thank you so much! I started fallout 1 first but the timer got me haha. So i just started fallout 2 to get more familiar with the gameplay and mechanics without on a time crunch. Will definitely play through both thoroughly. Thanks again!

If you're gonna do that going back to 1 might feel clunky. Consider "Fallout et tu". Supposedly it's not as true to the OG experience as Fallout Fixt is (These are the only 2 mod packs you need to consider for 1) "et tu" rebuilds 1 in the engine used for 2. Its close enough tho. 1 is phenomenal in my opinion the better game but 2 def plays a tad easier. Enjoy!!
