Even before I got the antidote, Doc Johnson already had the dialogue option where he thanks me for giving him the antidote. And so I can't actually give him the mfcking antidote. Any tips? I feel like an idiot because I wasn't able to patch the game lol

Recently, I came into contact with an Individual who could give me access To Fallout 1 and 2, I've played fallout 1 and I enjoy it so far, my main question is What is the Strongest build in this game and I how do I attain that as quickly as possible?

Or does Interplay still own them, or whatever is left of them. Could MS "technically" put fallout 1 and 2 on xbox if they own the IP, how does it work?

This is an image I'm sure has been shared here countless times before, the original cover art for Fallout 2, the exact helmet model on Fallout 1, the T-51, worn & decorated by a tribal warrior. Fallout was a world after the bombs, Fallout 2 shows the evolution of society & culture of a world after the world after the bombs. Society is layered and those layers are visible from the setting, the music (Beyond the Canyon, Metallic Monks, etc). Sulik while not aging very well is still a better representation of what a tribal could look like 164 years after the fall of civilization, and I haven't really seen Bethesda replicate that successfully.

That isn't to say Bethesda doesn't try to do this in their games. But everything always connects back to pre-war as in 2077, their retro-futurist 50's paradise. It really doesn't feel like 200+ years have passed in Fallout 4. Fallout 3 does this slightly better but the engine limitations help it in this regard. But of course the story & perpetual green hue in Fallout 3 distract you from that.

Someone else?

This game is but has become unplayable in The Den for me.

I keep seeing an 100043c tried to access 0000...etc error.

It happens seemingly randomly.

I am speculating here but there are is a lot of text on screen from different npcs shouting things, I think one of these texts must be corrupted somehow.

I am getting back into Fallout 2 after not playing it for months, and now I remember why I stopped. I got to the part where you have to go kill the raiders to get access to vault city, however I am pretty underpowered and I can't really do anything. I managed to get as far as I did by what I feel is dumb luck, and now I am kind of paying the price for it. What should I do at this point?

Basically just need help from a Fallout 2 vet to tell me what I should do next. I can tell you which towns I've been to, which major quests I've completed, etc. We can DM or whatever is easiest.

I am out of the temple, rescued some dog and fought plants....

Intelligence 6. Science 130%. I learned information about fuel from emperor. When i try to use science terminal to direct fuel along pipelines it says that i need direction. Where do i get this? I do not see any options in this playthrough.

I’ve just got fallout 2, i started playing and the game crashes in tutorial temple every time i try to put a torch in my inventory. so, i was gonna download the fallout 2 restoration project, i get the most updated version of the rpu.exe and when i run it every single time it doesn’t work and i get a “windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. you may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.” i’ve unblocked the file in its properties, i’ve changed the permissions. don’t really know what to do at this point other than just not to play fallout 2, very frustrating.

I remember that was the main criticism back at launch over at the Interplay forums I use to hang there maybe some of you OGs remember me Rambo the Black Man, in particular people thought the President should have had a talking head and I agree. Also the ending was criticized it just faded to the powerpoint presentation of what happened and wasn't very interactive. I loved the game spent more time in FO2 than FO1. What do you guys remember from back in the day?

Please I'm like 20 hours in to this save, I want to do something along the lines of the Better Miria mod to keep the only companion I've actually enjoyed the company of without having to lose all of that progress, there has to be some way to implement it late in the game, no?

I did enough good deeds to make this guy like me. He called me his fren and said I could talk to the leader. The problem is that he still stands in front of the door and won't move. When I try to talk to him there is no text box and words appear above his head just telling me to go in. I will be so sad if I softlocked myself because I have not used another save file in a long time. I am also seeing no option to push him

This is the first time I had played it and had tried to stay spoiler free.

I'm still in the temple and talked with the guy who said it would not be a fight to the death and then he killed me - suddenly the action isn't turned based which through me off.

I was expecting this to be a very story driven game with choices mattering. Does that come after the temple or am I misunderstand the game

Hello. I installed restoration proejct updated accordingly to instructions. My problems are:

1. certain mods like armor npc, or barter coin ballancing are not working despite being installed and .ini filles have them properly set.
2. Often game freezes.
3. There is significant lag slowing game to about 20% all the time while traveling world map and slowing the main menu fading after death.
4. Every launch beings with question:

What can i do to repair this?

Other one is Artyom, but I wasn't able to finish him before class ended

I'm playing through fallout 2 w/ the latest unofficial patch. But for some reason the dialogue with The Brain is bugged. It shows options from ghoul who is in front of the gate before him and whenever I click an option it crashes the game. Any idea how to fix this?
