Yep. In both FO1 and FO2, the game comes to a screaching halt just when you get near the end. Containters are empty. Quests are stupid. Wouldn't it make more sense to load stuff towards the end rather than front load? Too many games are like this.

When the game was released in 98 or whatever Scientology had just started to make inroads in California. We had a few of them here in Long Island, but we drove them out with pitchforks and torches. :mrgreen: At the time, the writers had made one of the biggest, best jokes on celebrities in...

I made the mistake of leveling up too quickly early on. I didnt take into consideration NPCs. So now I am level 29 with Cassidy, Vic, and Sulik all levelled out. I got Brainbot about a level ago and am now starting to see the value of Marcus. If had the patience to start a new game, I...

So I now have the Sexpert rating. If they were reversed, I should have had a rating for 10 or more times 100 times ago according to you, but I dont. This is so messed up with whatever you were trying to achieve. 10x = sexpert. 1 good time = gigilo (Usually achieved by buffing up with Mrs...

How?

I still cant get either rating. Gigolo or sexpert. I had my guy take buffout 2X and go to town. I had him hit it at least 20x (plus loads more buffout). Still no rating. 10 should be the min. as in the original for at least a 1 rating. It seems they are shut off. I would call this the...

Playing thru the 2nd time with Killaps patch now. The first time i didnt seem to get into too much trouble, and I had low luck. This time I have luck set to 8 (and have way more drop weapon situtations) and I seem to keep stumbling on the same encounter over and over between Den and Vault...

In Fallout 2. Absolutely worthless unitl Cassidy. I just had myself and Vic mowed down by Sulik. We had already pretty much cleanded out the whole cave of junior Deathclaws. One left. I pull out my hunting rifle, Vic goes wherever Vic goes. I shoot, Vic actually engages for once and it...

When playing, I get normal sound which is pretty much nothing. Sometimes after playing awhile (usually flipping back and forth between windows), full ambient sound kicks in. When it does, the game sounds so much more interesting. I cant figure out where to adjust this so it is always on. Any...

Sorry, have been using your guides. They are great. Just saying the encounters got tougher with the patch, so I question your value of lifegiver. Every time you lose HPs, your ability to do damage or aim goes down. Fighting 8-9 robbers gets really tuff really fast. So against your...

Oh, and another thing. I've heard 2 different things on living anatomy. 1) +5 damage added per shot so big bonus for burst weapons. 2) +5 damage added at the end of any attack so not per bullet.

With endurance set at 4 playing a sniper type, I have always taken living anatomy. With Killaps patch, encounters are tougher though and w/out getting the power armor early (this ruins the game), I am getting destroyed. I'll have 72 HPs at level 12. Which would you choose? Living anatomy...

I am playing a somewhat evil game for the 1st time. I kept Sulik, but sold off Vic. Sulik got pissed, so I sold him too. Maybe he'll find his sister. Which characters can you keep as NPCs as evil? I am assuming brainbot shouldnt be too biased. Cassidy wouldnt even talk to me so I dosed him...

PS - That was the problem w/ Fallout 1 if you played the original. Who wants to have the best weapons, be a high level, and fight molerats.

I noticed this too playing with the Killap patch. Right off the bat, encounters were much harder than the original. i.e. Me with a stupid spear + 32 HPs and them with with 5 guys w/ 50 HPs each. The problem you were talking about was not frequency or speed, but matching encounters to your...
