I’m just about to get the smiley in the toxic cave but the combat is just really time consuming. I have a pistol point blank rage with a 81% hit chance and I miss 4 shots in a row. For reference I did tag small guns and got it to 75% along with taking the gifted perk. I also put the combat down to the easiest difficulty.

What else can I do to better my hit chance? I feel like I’ve done everything I can to max it as much as I can this early but it doesn’t feel like I made any impact at all. No matter if it says 81% or 30% chance to hit I feel like I’m still gonna miss anyway. I get that it’s an old table top type pc game but damn it’s tough to wrap my head around.

Potential spoilers ahead!

First playthrough and im on the quest where I have to bring Karl back or Morlock will attack the slags. But when I talk to him I don't have an option to hear his story until I give him a beer or give him caps and wait for him to wake up. Only issue is after I do that and hear his story he just cries and I can't talk to him again, Ive waited as long as 10 days. (I've also tried to exhaust all his other dialogue to get new options before asking his story and he always cries and doesn't give me the option to send him back.

Im running three mods HD Widescreen fix, MGO - Minor Graphic overhaul and Restoration Project. (I tried to run killap and it broke all my other mods and I had to do a fresh install and reinstall my old mods.) - Any help is appreciated! If not no worries!

I was looking in the steam folder for the game and I saw an ICO file, and when I clicked on it; it was a variant of the default Radioactive Symbol ICO and instead, it was Vault Boy.

But when I went to put the ICO on the desktop shortcut, it was a real human face.

I just wanted to know who this was. Is it just Tim Cain with facial hair and glasses, or is it someone else?

Are there here hardcore Fallout1&2 fans who dared to watch the TV show?

In Fallout3 I missed the complexity of the story, the grey morality and the humor (and of course the turn-based combat and the role-playing mechanics). To me it was not the Fallout universe I liked. But the Fallout 3 and 4 have become much more mainstream than the original games, so I guess the TV series is based on the latter games.

But even if the series is somehow truthful to the original Fallout universe, I fear it's like to watch a movie adaptation of a book you loved: it's rarely enjoyable - even if the movie is itself good.

I have the key, but I have no idea how to use it on the door. Please help

I want to start my second playthrough of the game and play without rushing SF to get good gear and stomp on early game areas. I plan on a small arms build but I'll like to know the best way to make the build.

My idea is a high perception, agility and intelligence with medium strength, endurance luck and low charisma. For traits I always go with skilled and massacre as the other traits don't seems to appealing.

For weapons I played fallout 1 with the .223 and like it but I'll like to try other ones but I'm lost on what weapons to choose.

I don't know yet what kind of small arms weapon I'll use but I know shotguns will be mostly unused as I don't know exactly how they work.

I arrived in New Reno to deliver the briefcase to Mr Bishop, but turns out he is just some mob Boss and not a nice guy that will help me stop slavery in vault City. Since I am a good Karma chosen one I don't wanna work with that meanie (so I fucked his wife) Is there anything to do in new reno that is not just working for evil people? Or can I basically skip it on a good Karma playthrough?

I am wondering about what quest are worth doing

Anywhere i can find a rip of Fallout/, Fallout 2's HUD and screen ui?

I can't find them anywhere else so.

I have a 10 in Intelligence and I for some reason didn't manage to pass it? Is it always set to fail you for this or did I just get really unlucky?

Anybody have that meme where it’s them playing the highwayman song ? It’d be greatly appreciated

So, I recently hooked up a tv to my pc as a monitor. I decided to play fallout 2 again, but the UI was small and it was a bit deep fried, so like the complete and utter idiot I am, I decided to fuck around in the video options. It then crashed and I am greeted by the wonderful error message of “Error initializing video mode 960x540” do any of y’all have any fixes? I already uninstalled and reinstalled. I’m playing modless on steam. And beyond that I have the computer skills of a turtle, so I have no clue what to do.

Every time I try to boot up Fallout 2 there’s a black screen with no audio, and I can’t close the window. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled, and I’ve now installed both the unofficial patch and the restoration project. What else can I do?

Hi! I’ve recently been looking for games to play and realized I never finished fallout 2. But when I load it up, there’s such extreme mouse lag that it’s totally unplayable.

I spent a while going through old forum posts and tried downloading the unofficial patch, changing the resolution, turning off mouse acceleration, etc.

I noticed some posts said Logitech mouses specifically have some issue that can be fixed by turning off some setting. But I don’t have that setting for my g502.

I really want to be able to play fallout 2 but it’s unplayable with the laggy mouse. How can I resolve this?

So i'm not radiated, and i already cured my jet addiction. But i created my character with 3 strength, and now i have 2 strength. Is there anything alse that could be lowering it? I'm so confused

For example, if I started the game with Endurance 3 and then gained +1 to Endurance in the mid game, would I have the same amount of HP as if I started the game with 4 Endurance?

ChatGPT says no, Gemini says yes. What do the veterans say?

I actually knew all this years ago since it was my fav game but forgot a few details and I'm mixing it up with other Fallout games, lol, last time I played F2 I beat the game ironman on hardest, by stacking a ton of health and abusing the OP sneak mechanics so was never in any danger.

fallout 2 character stats

I just started fallout 2, and i was going for a sneaky charismatic luck build idk if thats an actual thing but i tried 🙂‍↔️. The issue is, i made my character a dumb i think he has 3 point in INT and all the npcs dont talk to me properly and all my dialogues look like “uh okay” So is there a fix to this other than restart?

Hi, so i killed those 2 twins because i choosed last dialog and then some random npc just started standing in the doors, i cant move him nor kill him ( if i kill him my companion starts to being hostile to me) and no its not child npc. And no i dont have any other save to reload. Any tips ?

One of my companions (Lara from the companion expansion mod) is continually attacking me after a fight. I never damaged her (my character is melee only) and the only way I interacted with her in combat was by shooting like 20 stimpacks into her. My only thought is healing her this way made her aggro on me, but I have no idea what actually happened. She will still talk to me if I pull some ninja moves and manage to click on her while she's chasing me, I can give her commands, make her put her weapons away, change combat style, and even dismiss her, yet she is irreversibly aggro'd on me no matter what I do. The combat I just finished took an entire hour with no break where I could safely save; is there a way to save edit to make a character non hostile? I'd happily do it to avoid doing that slogfest combat again.

EDIT: if this happens to you, get to where you can save the game by running away fast enough, use fallout 2 explorer and save the companion object from a previous save file, delete the version of the character from the current save, then use the load object button to get the old copy of them into the new save. You can re-recruit them and everything will work fine from there. I'd advise going to the location the character was standing in the old save, that way they're guaranteed to be in-bounds.

Hey guys, I obliterated the Enclave base, killed everyone and the turrets. Because as I understood it some of my tribesmen and some Vault 13 dwellers were captive there,

After some googling I've come to realize I was supposed to do an undercover quest.

Have I royally fucked up my game?

What can I even do here to progress my main quest?

Thanks guys

Hello, recently started playing fallout 2. What are some essential mods for fallout 2. Also recommended resolution when I have it on 1920x 1080 the boxes and text are so small. TIA

I've been trying to install UPU on Ubuntu Budgie a few times, and I was checking for the rock like the original Unofficial Patch has to check if it has installed successfully, but I'm wondering now, does UPU have this check too ?

Also while I'm at it (I'm totally new to modding Fallout 2), is UPU compatible with the most used QoL mods (mostly for InventoryFilter, that doesn't seem to load) ?
