ITT: Things you cannot do in any fallout after number 2
Also can some one tell me why my background music isn't playing. I'm running GoG + restoration.
What's the matter, you guys are always complaining how the game is unplayable and you're forced to follow a linear path or else you die?
But you can get power armor in the first 30 minutes in Fallout 4 as well
I did this too Op. I feel guilty of cheating though. Wiped out the Slaver's. Killed 2 instantly and I had to chase the rest because they were running.
actually you can savescum cold all the way to san fran. tagging speech or sneak can help with chris at navarro but you don't even necessarily need that
We're too busy shit posting to have a real thread. Op.
In 3 you could glitch into cathedral for power armor training early.
I haven't had the time to play this game lately so I'm personally still in Arroyo. It literally took me a week of savescumming to clear the Temple and I was pretty excited for finally clearing it, but I've been pretty busy with work lately. Can't wait to actually start the game. I'm currently trying to weed the plants from the shaman's garden. They're really fucking hard to kill, still, but I'm unarmed so I guess it should be expected.
>>318165796
The hell you talking about? You can savescum your way to X01 armor, named plasma rifle, the alien blaster, and a named combat shotty with killing a handful of enemies before you ever talk to Codsworth post vault, and those are only the ones I'm aware of. If you're gonna hate on 4, at least pick something accurate to hate on.

How does a shitslinging tribal know what Energy weapons is when the retards in his tribe actually think canteens are holy relics?
>>318165796
Making the game easy boring as shit by cheating/exploiting it's mechanics is something you can do in every fallout.
>>318169046
Talk to the guy by the head statue and the guy in the tent to the right of the head. They will train your melee and unarmed by a certain percentage.
>>318169276
Yeah, that's the joke he's making. You found it.
>>318169272
No you can't. Because of level scaling the xo1 doesn't spawn until you are level 30 or something.
>>318169276
Agility is my go-to dump stat in Fallout games. Never liked playing sneaky characters.
>>318169046
You again? I thought this was just some one-and-done bait.
How long are you going to keep this up? I'd actually enjoy seeing you deliberately try to go through the game in the wrongest way possible and shitpost on /v/ about it.
>>318169469
There are several scripted location where you're assured X01. The majority of locations are ones obeying the level list, but it's fully possible to get X01 if you know the scripted locations.
>>318169046
All jokes aside, is playing with <5 agility even playable? I fucked up and went with 9 agility instead of 10, so I have 4 extra ap after I shoot a weapon.
>>318169279
it's just 2nd generation after Vault Dweller.
Also take into account that knowledge in Arroyo likely varries from person to person, as descendants of Vault 13 are minority
>>318169484
agility influences action points not just stealth and it has one of the best combat perks under it

>>318169484
bait or not,
you need at least 7 or 8 agility (don't do 10 because you can buy permanent upgrade)
you'll have a shitton more opportunity in combat to not fuck up
>>318169685
But that's bullshit, that only makes it weirder because just 2 Generations after the VD everyone's fucking retarded. If other people know better why do they have the brain-damaged elder who doesn't understand anything but dung and dreams brief you on your mission.

I don't believe there are "wrong" ways to play an RPG like this.
Just leveled up. Where should I put my skill points into?
>>318169880
think of it
Vault dwellers arrive and join village, Children are born. Original dwellers die. Now only source of pre-war knowledge are those children, who recieved wisdom of old worls together with wisdom of tribals.
Shit gets confusive at best. Some figure it out, some don't.
It's same as people in New Reno understand (more or less) laser weapons, but only few can properly name them.
>>318170370
Well, never mind. I just noticed how fucking many skill points you get per level in Fallout 2. Maximized my speech and put the rest into repair.
>>318165796
Pretty sure you can do that in all the bethesda games, esp if you include save scumming. Are you just getting caught up in negative shitposting?

Cheating/glitching is not the same as a game designed around freedom.
>>318168412
Level scaling makes it pointless. You're out of a core after the first fight and your weapons are still shit because you need perks to do more damage. You can have le combat shotgun at the beginning and it will do 30 damage or whatever.
>>318169679
Starting with 10 agility is pretty dumb, since you can raise it from 9 to 10 later anyway.
>>318170439
Sorry, but no. Unless every parent magically died before their children reached puberty, that makes fuckall sense. Fuck, there could still be living vault dwellers in that village, or failing that the last would have died only recently.
>>318170835
Savescumming is cheating.
>>318170370
Outdoorsman since you're going to have to avoid everything with 3 action points.
>>318170895
>All these people saying not to bother with AG at 10 or ST higher than 5 because you can upgrade later
That shit doesn't even come in to play until the game is almost over anyway.

>savescumming to pass the temple
wtf, you just run like hell and convince the guy at the end
>>318171113
It is today when all games are designed to hold your hand and have checkpoints everywhere. Old games were built around save scumming, at any time you can hit a random encounter that can kill you. Are you supposed to restart the game at that point?
>>318170370
>I don't believe there are "wrong" ways to play an RPG like this
Well no, but there's definitely ways to make them unnecessarily hard on yourself.
>>318171178
you can get things pretty early. The raise SPECIAL perk start at level 12 if i'm not mistaken and you can use the implant cards as soon you deliver the vertbird plans.
>>318171428
Loading when you die is not savescumming, stupid. Savescumming is going through encounters or levels that would be almost impossible for you by saving and loading anytime you fuck up.
>>318171395
That's what they said in the thread I posted some weeks ago for help. Turn out I can't outrun the ants and since I needed to be out of combat to pick locks I needed to kill them, and it legitimately took tens of tries every time.
By the way, found my first companion already. Needed $350 to hire him, so I sold my sharpened spear off. Couldn't use it anyway.
I've heard the companions in this game are OP as fuck.
Oh cool an F2 thread. I wanted to do an unarmed build so I made this:
S = 6
P = 6
E = 7
C = 2
I = 8
A = 10
L = 8
Traits:
Gifted
Jinxed
Tag:
Unarmed
Speech
Sneak
I'm not too far in and I've already found sneak useful, helped with stealing the spiked knuckles from the Duntons, but I'm not too far in and I'm worried I fucked up in not choosing lock pick.
>>318171615
And when you fuck up you die. There is no distinction. Because of the random nature of encounters there is always a good chance of instant death in high level areas regardless of your level. Hit an enclave patrol and even in power armor you will most likely die.
>>318170370
>Agility - 1
>expecting to ever be able to hit anything
You're a persistent b8er, I'll give you that.
>>318170817
>raising non-combat skills past 100
>>318171882
There is a big distinction. Savescumming allows you to do anything if you're patient enough, so you bypass the game's difficulty and overcome obstacles simply by playing the RNG game.
>>318171663
No if you run out of the range of the ants which isn't that far, you can hit end combat and they will stop following you.
>>318171943
science and repair have a lot of 125% checks
>>318172069
Doesn't matter since you can just repeat.
>>318172026
There is not, fallout 2 was designed to be savescummed. They even tell you in some of the special encounters to save so that you can scum if you fuck up.
>>318171794
Goddamn, he IS overpowered. He pretty much kills scorpions in one hit. I do like 3 damage once per turn while he does 15 twice per turn.
>>318165796
NV makes it really easy with fast travel. Grab the Goodsprings snowglobe first, then neak up past Deathclaws, hugging the rocks until you're south of Camp McCarren. Go in there, wait for the guard shift change, sneak past them, take the monorail to the strip. Now head on over to Freeside (the robot guards won't care), the Old Mormon Fort, and get the snowglobe there. Turn those both into Mr. House's lady robot, get 4K Caps total, spend them on the Luck implant.
go gamble, buy all your shit you could possibly want from Gun Runners/Silver Rush. fast travel back to Goodsprings

They're not. Probably Sulik and Cassidy are best because they can wear power armor and have good combat skills. Goris is fine for a while too, but I think he becomes outclassed by the late game due to not being able to wear power armor. Vic isn't so bad in a pinch but it's best to leave him when the time comes, and Myron is complete dead weight. Don't think I ever got the best version of Skynet.

The only thing that increases Agility in Fallout 2 is the Perk, which you probably shouldn't waste on increasing Agility instead of just starting with 10 anyway.
Fallout 1 DOES have the +1 Agility surgery, so it's fine to start with 9 there.
>>318171113
children could have learned about old world tech, but without it on hand, for most those are just stories.
It's like John from Brave New World. He knew that "Cleanliness is next to fordliness", because his mather taught him, but without context it's just chant from civilized world passed on him, because he wasn't more aware of outside world that his fellow tribals

I hope you're exaggerating. Well, I heard that Jet gives you AP in this game like in Fallout 3 and NV, so not all is lost. I'm not rerolling after I've gotten this far.
>>318172910

Yes. Get the high resolution patch.
>>318172982
Please direct me to said patch.
Can I install it through the Steam version?
>>318172939
No anon, I'm not. It takes 4 AP to kick something with your fucking foot. Shooting usually takes like 3 for pistols and 4 to aim.
You can't even fucking AIMED SHOT WITH PISTOLS with 3 fucking AP. Reloading costs 2 AP even.
>>318172704
I popped a rad x, killed off the rads i got before popping them with some radaway, hopped into the hole, got some yellow card and the shit i need, and buggered out. Popped another rad x when i exited the hole and that was that.
I definitely feel like i missed a lot, but im kinda rushing through the game this first run.
>>318172446
You don't have a choice, the bottom half of the map is full of enclave patrols, remnants of the masters army, death claws, aliens and whatever have you. All of these guys can instakill you with a critical at any time regardless of your level.
>>318171428
>Old games were built around save scumming
no, save scumming is literally way to make game easier for yourself, if you can't handle game. If you HAVE to savescum, you're just bad at game.
>>318165796
So, what's your point? Are you trying to show us how broken FO2 was?
>>318173096
Kicking actually takes 3 AP for me. Maybe they scale to your max AP?
Are there any other ways of opening locked doors in this game than lockpicking? Newer Fallouts let you hack some of them, and I don't really want to level lockpicking.
>>318173046
Google it and I don't know.
>>318172726
Vic is good to have, because you don't need spend point on Repair with him in party, he can fondle with machinery instead of you

It appealed to my 14yo spirit of feeling good about cheating. Good times.(Don't miss them though)

You aren't forced to do anything. You can attack the overseer or kill the village elders. The game ends because the game is about saving your people and you killed them.

>>318174376
For improved shitposting, take Here and Now.
>>318173439
Well, they were, and I was playing that shit back when it was relevant. Its mostly a symptom of design in that a bunch of games at the time would kill you with a random number ever now and then, and they didn't really get the concept of auto saving. Players ended up saving every time they thought they did something worth while, which then conditioned them to to save in anticipation of shit hitting the fan.
>>318174527
Too late for that now.
>>318174548
All these perks look like shit so I'm legitimately considering that or Comprehension.
>>318174538
You can kill everything but Children in FONV though, with the exception of Yes-Man who you can kill but won't stay dead.

No, not when your son is a main part of the plot and your previous pre-written background is referenced so much. Try again Todd.
>>318174652
Sorry I forgot that you don't follow le bethesda father son gaymance meme in NV.
I wanted to kill those fucking kids at that airplane runway place so bad.
>>318174657
But that's wrong because with the removal of the karma system and your inability to give houses to raiders, you aren't even roleplaying.
You HAVE to be a good guy, who HAS to be nice to people, who HAS to find your shitty fucking son even when there's like 3 times you can just up and replace your son.
>>318174848
Don't forget the part where almost every quest is a dungeon crawl ending in killing things, and you can barely talk your way out of ANYTHING.
>>318174830
>I've been playing this for two weeks now
Because your character is so shit, a basic encounter takes hours to get past. Make a normal character and it will only take an hour or so to get back to wherever you are now.
>>318174848
So, I suppose you also can't role play in FO1 because the chip is the main part of the plot and your goal is reference so much.
Or in any of The witchers games, because everything about you is part of the plot and everything about you is referenced so much.

You're fucking retarded, you just turned level three. I don't think I've ever seen such a shitty character.

No, because that is not tied in with your character's past. You need to study harder Todd.
>>318169484
Oh, hey! I remember this joke! I was in that one thread where you did the SAME THING.
>>318174574
Not to mention in the era before the ability to quickly and easily download patches, you had to save frequently to protect against buggy games and random crashes.
F2 is one of my favorite games of all time, but it was buggy as fuck in New Reno.
>>318173796
I like how New Vegas trolled you a bit for save scumming.
There's a 1 minute cooldown to play casino games again after a quick load.
Some good items you wanted to steal were gone after a quickload to attempt to steal them again succesfully.
The fucking hacking menu takes longer to take you to the hacking minigame.
(I fucking hate this minigame, holy shit they need to remove this crap)
>>318175127
>Oh Jesus I'm dying.
No need to be rude, it took me a week to clear the Temple and I haven't played a lot this week.
I picked Presence, put some of my points in Repair and started leveling Lockpicking since it seems really useful in this game. No reason to level up big guns at this point since I guess they're pretty rare.
>>318175125
Not that I've seen in the time I've been playing. It's almost like Todd made the game based around Charisma because he's a topgun salesman
>>318169279
The Chosen One may just have a knack for energy weapons without knowing it.
That said, right out of the gate, your character is clearly a lot more worldly-aware than the rest of the tribe. It's possible your character was "chosen" specifically because they're, at least, much more open to learning things about the outside world.
>>318175072
Are you fucking kidding me? Half the time, all the things your pre-determined character has to say in any given 4-way 'choice' are SLIGHTLY different variations of the exact same shit and have the exact same outcome.

Also you can fuck over your vault if you want and spend all the time dicking around in the desert until the timer runs out and they die. You literally cannot fail the main plot lines of the games after fallout 2.

You got like another 15 levels to go before you find them, and you still won't be able to use them once you find them.
>>318175448
Jesus fuck anon please just restart
>>318170370
No way is wrong as long as you're having fun, butyou very clearly min-maxed your character to be as ineffective in the Temple of Trials as possible. You obviously have at least some working knowledge of the game mechanics.

Well, he's sure as hell more powerful than you, but don't expect him to win the game for you. If you last long enough for him to get some levels under his belt, though, he can definitely help out.
>>318175764
Only FO4 gave you a retarded point buy, every other game has been 40 special points, 47 if you want to use the gifted trait
>>318175843
Lol no problems, Sulik fucking destroyed him.
>>318172532
He doesn't like to play sneaky characters, Anonymous, so why should he generate anyone but the clumsiest human being on the planet?
>>318175764
Take Gifted.
>>318176001
I know you're doing a full retard playthrough, but why aren't you wearing any armor?
>>318172726

>Fucks off after about an hour of gameplay to go die with his idiot tribe
great companion ten out of ten.
>>318176128
I haven't found any yet
>>318176227
Sulik has a leather jacket, take his armor.
>>318173469
No, actually, I remember this. At some point my character's unarmed attacks were replaced with 3 AP punches and kicks. I think it might be if you meet some requirements of advanced moves, but not all of them.
>>318169046
Holy shit, I remember you when all of /v/ roasted you for blaming the game when you made your character a shit-eating cripple.
Quick, I need an unarmed spec.
>>318176287
But I'm using him as the tank basically so I'm thinking that he should have it
I've played fallout 2 so many times but I've never tried a 1 intelligence playthrough.
>>318174904
>I wanted to kill those fucking kids at that airplane runway place so bad.

>>318176513
Pedophile.
>>318176432
Yeah, but I got over it. It's pretty fun actually, even if I'm not playing the best possible build.
The Rat God actually had a better knife right beside him. This one has some serious damage.
What's the worst way to play Fallout 1 ?
I remember playing with 0 luck and it was hellish.
>>318176158
Go back with him m8
Which build and game does 10 Luck + Jinxed work in? Where your enemies kill themselves critically all the time.
>>318175816
>>318175827
He actually can't use any Firearm in the entire game, as pistols require at least 4 AP to use without Fast Shot or Bonus Rate of Fire. He doesn't have Fast Shot and He can't take Bonus Rate of Fire due to no agility.
He could grab Mutate though to change out Bruiser for Fast shot, giving him +2 AP and making guns take -1 AP to fire. A Good trade indeed.
He could even use a Big Gun then as it would only cost 5 to fire.
>>318177202
2.
But you have to go with Unarmed.
>>318177202
Unarmed.
If you critically fail an unarmed attack, it can't blow up.
>>318177225
And make the game actually playable? Inconceivable!
>>318176629
Found some dynamite, so the guy who said that explosives are hard to find in the beginning of the game seems to have been wrong.
Should I use it with this locked door here?
>>318177562
Forgot pic, the locked door is right next to the container with the dynamite and the crowbar. There were some other locked doors in Klamath as well.
And then I was like yoooooooooooooooo
>>318177562
No, explosives are still rare, it's just they give you one specifically for that door.
>>318177698
Set it for ten seconds and wait next to it, when you use an explosive on a door it converts to a breach charge with no AOE, but has a chance of not going off in which case you'll need to reset it.
>>318177741
Yeah, I jammed the lock trying to lockpick it so I used the dynamite here.
It doesn't look like there's anything behind it, though. I got on the other side and all I found was Nuka-Cola on the ground. Disappointing.
>>318177909
Examine the highway man. Use repair on it
>>318177909
best leave there immediately, no further exploration required
>>318177909
Oh never mind, you could use the car to find something important looking
>>318172568
bro come on
>>318177995
Can you actually repair it? It says I broke the engine even though I have 90% repair
>>318178183
You use it later

Alright for an unarmed build with 8 luck, should I get jinxed or one handed? I plan on getting the zeta scan later
>>318178695
Nah it isn't.
I don't wanna squint, anon.
>>318178648
>waaah why is my pistol not hitting him from 30 hexes away, I have 40% in small guns :(
I found some kind of a painting with my new lockpicking skills.
Is this some kind of a quest item?
>>318178839
>unarmed skill and 7 agi build
>miss 7 times in a row even with vats
>gets kill
>>318177202
They won't kill themselves 99.99999% of the time, but it's still really fun. Just make sure your unarmed skill and AC are both as high as possible.
Now some kind of a robot attacked me, what the fuck is going on here?
>>318179137
You're going to die with 6 hp.
>>318179137
Sulik started running away (I guess his HP got too low) so I bailed as well. Some kind of a higher level quest?
>>318179240
>Not repairing the robot
Playing FO1 for the first time and it's pretty boring so far. I've just gotten out of vault 15 and tried/failed miserably to rescue Tandi from the raiders, so I'm giving up on that till I'm a higher level. When does the game start getting interesting? So far all the plot and dialogue seems like a simplistic mad max wannabe.
>>318176629
>even if I'm not playing the best possible build.
>even if the ocean has some water in it
>>318179227
Yeah, I don't want waste the stims I found in the rat place yet. I'm looking for a doctor currently.
>>318179295
Can you actually do that? A robot companion would be badass
>>318178712
One handed is really useful and jinxed is fun as fuck and game-changing. What would you like more?
Is sneaking actually viable in 1 and 2? I've never really tried it.
>>318179306
Apparently it never gets better. I'm not sure how it was a success. You just need it to understand the story and references for Fallout 2.
Just bought Fallout 2 off of GOG, I have never played the previous games in the series and have only played 3 and New Vegas.
Anything I should know off the bat when making a character? Seems stats and choices are way more important here, which sounds pretty great.
Found the trader's place and blew up
>>318165796
you have to change the path in some ini file, real simple fix, google it, I found it on gog forums
>>318179306
Things pick up around Junk Town, and the game gets much better once you find the Water Chip and you start exploring the final areas.
You missed. You missed. You missed. You missed. You missed. You missed. You missed. You missed. You missed. You missed. You missed. You missed. You missed. You missed. You missed. You missed.

>having to look up on guides about builds in order to even play the fucking game
>>318179642
Or you can just read the ingame descriptions.
>>318179642
OBTAIN GOODNESS
>>318179642
I first played the game when I was 12 and never had that problem. If you want to be effective with a weapon class you need to have your related skill high enough. It's common fucking sense.
>>318179538
The Gifted Trait is the best in the game, take it.
Agility and Intelligence are the most important, agility more than intelligence.
>>318179486
sneaking works even when it has a shitty value, if you're in an area with a lot of annoying critters like rats, it helps to be in sneak mode because likely you won't have to fight them all.
>>318178964
>VATS
>Fallout 2
here's a tip friend, aimed attacks to places other than the torso have accuracy penalties, and you need your combat skill above at least 130 to start getting the best use of them.
>>318179921
Do you get anything like bonus damage on sneak attacks or is it mainly for staying hidden?
>>318179923
How the fuck I was supposed to know on my first time?
>>318169046
>Ag 1
>Action Points: 3
Oh lordy, is it even possible to beat the game like this?
Hold the fucking phone, when a companion equips an armor, it changes the model?
I'm currently halfway through FO2, I got Sulik to wear all sorts of things but he is still showing up with his default model.
Not that I'm really complaining, but it's the first time I'm seeing it in some of these screenshots.
>>318179473
How often do enemies actually critically fail?
>>318180059
You can tell by looking at the hit percentage when you bring it up. It fucking says it right there.
>>318180065
I'm doing pretty well so far
Now I'm in the toxic caves looking for the trapper, these geckos are pretty fucking tough though
>>318176629
>even if I'm not playing the best possible build.
Seriously, you are in denial at this point
Restart the game and put 10 in AG, you will be a happier human being.
>>318168327
Yeah we just need to savescum to totally progress! Such freedom! WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW11
>>318179692
Not with Fallout 2. The game fucks with you during the first hour or so. Makes you think "oh, maybe I should tag melee and drop some points in to it so I can actually fight off these ants and scorpions and rats with this fucking spear." Then you don't find any better melee weapons and its small arms far as the eye can see, except you already dumped a bunch of skill points in to Melee and now you're back to Miss Miss Miss with guns until you level up a bit more.
>>318180119
Yeah, it was telling me I had 52% of success, BUT FUCKING KEEP MISSING FOR 9 TIMES IN A FUCKING ROW?
>>318180203
Damn, the golden ones are fucking crazy, I have 14% chance to hit and even Sulik seems to be struggling
>>318171794
You could have just saved the Traper in the toxic caves.
Or did other quests to get sulik fro free.
Also if the game give you the option of paying for sorting thru dialogue if you drop all your cash in the barter screen you still get it but dont pay a dime.
>>318179921
Yes, but it's a perk to deal sneak attack damage from behind.
Another nice thing about sneak even if you don't put many points into or tag it is that you can use it to end combat sometimes when you might not have been able to otherwise because some retarded hillybilly sees you from across the map. Just toggle sneak during combat and hit end combat, it's great for when you're fighting in populated areas.
>>318179538
Gifted trait is must.
High agility is must.
You don't need strengh more than 6.
Tag small guns. Unarmed or melee is also good and viable choice.
Stealing is very useful.
>>318180203
>I'm doing pretty well so far
I mean, hey, you're not dead. That's relatively better.
>>318180095
Well I've only been playing for a couple days but scorpions keep flinging themselves at me and breaking their arms so it seems fairly common.
>>318177202
>>318177253
>>318177330
Unarmed, specifically because the critical fails only trigger on missed attacks (I think it gives every miss a 50% chance of a miss).
Not only does Unarmed start with a high enough bonus that you rarely miss, but you can pick up a late-game perk that drastically increases your AC when unarmed...causing many MORE misses from enemies.
>>318179642
It's almost like the game should have come with some form of documentation that describes the game mechanics and gives general tips and pointers.
>>318180059
It literally fucking tells you your chance to hit, and it's kind of obvious that that chance of hitting a guy in the eye is less than hitting him in his chest.
With the 130% thing, you learn by increasing your combat skill so you're getting 95% change to hit the eyes and aren't shit at stuff.
>>318180292
>I've never taken a statistics class.
>>318177225
He could even trade it out for Gifted. That'll raise his Agility to 2, giving him another AP, so he'll still be able to fire big guns while *also* giving him slightly more flexibility to do other, AP-requiring things.
>>318169484
That works in 3 and after, but in FO1 and 2 Agi influences your action points which are essential.
Unless of course this is bait
>>318180353
Well RIP Sulik
I guess I'll reload and come back to this quest later
>>318180095
Very often, it's like 50% of their misses if I remeber correctly. Thats why you need high AC, namely HtH Evade.
>>318172857
Fallout 2 has the ACE to increase special
>>318180513
Don't be an ass, dude. Doesn't take a genius to figure that .53^9 isn't 0, but it's remarkably low to the point that it's bullshit.
>>318180695
>essential
Come on now
I've almost finished the first town's quest, barring the trapper thing
>>318180292
Do yourself a favor. Take all of your money, sell all of your stuff and hitchhike to Vegas.
Then, find a roulette table that's hit red eight times in a row, and put all of your money on black. There's no possible way for it to land on red a ninth time in a row.
