As soon as I launched Fallout 2, I noticed no music. I quickly discovered that the music files weren't copied over from the FO Collection DVD, so I copied them over manually. Things were going good but then I noticed that the world map had a different soundtrack from FO1 world map (the music...

I recently completed Fallout 1 at level 13, with the realization that some of the progressions I made were very much based on luck. For example, I defeated the mutants in the watershed at level 5 with only small guns and my two companions, Dogmeat and Ian. But I was just fooling around, not...

I am well aware that this is an RPG where your characters skills matter, not yours. I just wanted to know if I should have sold the shotgun and ammo or kept it. Money was tight and I really wanted to take some of the pressure off of meeting the water chip deadline by buying supplements from the...

no offense but...what possesses you to research such things at a strenuous length?

Well I already acquired that Brotherhood of Steel quest that involves getting something from somewhere down south. I presume they mean the Glow because I know of no other places to the south they could be referring to. Unfortunately I don't know how to enter the Glow. I see this big crater and I...

I've obtained and delivered that water chip. Already done a number of other side quests in Shady Sands, Junktown, Hub, and Boneyard. But I still can't figure out how to make progress on the 2nd part of main quest: Find mutant leader and destroy source.

I experimented with the desert eagle and wasn't too impressed with my to-hit chance with headshots.

Do these patches work with existing saves?

I recently noticed that the Fallout Collection I got is really UK version, given that it is GSP/white label. Are there any differences in the gameplay or mechanics or other things compared to US version I should know about? I am also wondering why there is a Fallout patch 1.1 on bonuses...

My Fallout Collection DVD has arrived (but I didn't check mailbox until after dinner, foolish me). And I'm just starting FO1 as Max Stone. I've gone a little ways and I'm wondering: Is the shotgun even worth carrying around? It deals not alot more damage than my brass knuckles, has to reload...

This topic is about the fallout series in general even though I have only played through the 3rd. My Fallout Collection DVD hasn't arrived yet, but did the first 2 fallout games feature alot of radioactive areas and the need for protection against such? One thing that bugged me in Fallout 3...

Figure that, there are 13 skills in the game. Most of them will start at approximately 15. 3 of them will be tagged, and some will be a bit higher or lower. So: 13 x 85 = 1105 - 60 = about 1045 skill points to accumulate, give or take. If you start with an intelligence of 10 and acquire...

a dead mutant's gun was floating in mid-air right above me.

How do you manage very hard mode? I've recently started my 3rd character and playing on Very Hard instead of Normal. I notice that the vault guards take alot longer to kill. It wasn't a problem, but it is kind of annoying to be swinging away at the same enemy for a whole 1-2 minutes. Can I...

other examples: The fact that you fully recover your health and heal all your limbs when you sleep for ONE HOUR?? Same with Oblivion; you didn't even need to find a bed for that. The stupidly unrealistic ragdoll physics. You know, that thing where I shoot an enemy in the head a few times...

I am doing that mission for Paradise Falls. Whenever I try to enslave Susan Lancastor, she cries for help as soon as I tell her to go to Paradise Falls, causing all Tenpenny Tower guards to attack me. It doesn't seem to matter how many times I use the Mezmatron or whatever it is called, on her.

I don't understand why some people go out of their way to force-lock or use an /unlock command on locked doors/containers though. The lockpick mini-game isn't hard at all and it certainly doesn't take long to do.

I think it affects initial responses from NPCs (or is that Karma? Or both?) And does it not factor in to percentile chance to succeed in Persuasion dialogue choices? I know that Personality was pretty much useless in Oblivion. I hope that is not just as true in Fallout 3.

if FO3 is not an RPG at all, then what do you use to define an RPG?

I'm inclined to disagree. Ever since I've been playing by my rules, I've been using my head more, rather than getting stubborn and frustrated. I've been making use of items I never remembered to use like the med-x, psycho, and frag mines. And I often run away from combat situations I probably...
