Won't really matter. From the great and powerful Per's FAQ It seems as if the designers did not wish for you to slay anyone in Arroyo (unlike FO, where you could kill just about everyone but the Overseer, and still complete the game).

Yep, it was impossible to make a first person <s>shooter</s> RPG in 19<s>93</s>97. Because, as we all know, Doom hadn't been in existence for 4 years.

Yet another reason to hate Voice Acting in games. Why, oh why, can they not just leave it at cut-scenes and/or videos?

There is a pdf of the Manual on the CD. In fact, that's the only way I got a manual, since I purchased the dual-jewel case version. In any event, NOT having the manual is no excuse for not reading it, seeing as how we live in the internet age. I googled "Fallout 2 manual", and the first...

Oooh. That just gave me this crazy thought: They could have a computer program turned eViL, out to mass genocide the human race... but, instead of calling it SKYnet... VAULTnet!! I wonder if I could get a job at Bethesda with brilliant gems like that. It's right up there with Nuk-a-pult...

If by "right now" you mean, at this moment, then Tetris (Flash). Anyway... I'm currently working on an Ironman game in Fallout 1, Wasteland Merc 2 w/ Cubik's patch in Fallout 2, and I just reinstalled Arcanum. Before that, I had tried out Morrowind, after finding a cheap GotY copy at my...

Pretty sure there's "no Fallout", period. :rip:

Woah... Just got a Star Wars vibe. "Vault Dweller... I AM your father..." Blargh.

"Let's do the timewarp, again!" It's like when I first came to NMA, all over again! Again, it's like when I first came to NMA, all over again! :lol:

It would have been a nice addition, but not a necessity. Please, though, no playing as a talking Deathclaw, Super-Mutant, or Ghoul!

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Fallout takes place in an alternate, future reality, where our real-world weapons (to quote DC Comics Elseworlds) "would not, should not, could not exist." It might also have to do with the fact that the first Fallout had its own, generic...

Perhaps I don't know the meaning of the word sewers? :wink:

As a broad shouldered, pasty white guy... no offense taken. :) I, too, hope there is more diversity in the PC's look. It would be a nice feature.

Yeah, right. It may not be Fallout Turn-based combat, but the two most successful jRPG franchises, Dragon Quest (Warrior) and Final Fantasy have... get this... TURN BASED COMBAT! Wait... did you not just say that Turn-Based was considered Archaic? Yet here is a popular, well selling game...

You can edit the WORLDMAP.TXT file in the \Fallout2\Data\ folder. This section: ; Encounter frequency percentages: Forced=100% ; This shouldn't change Frequent=65% ; Was 9/3d6 Common=85% ; Was 8/3d6 This Uncommon=90% ; Was 6/3d6 This Rare=85% ...

It was the first 'real' rpg I ever played that made me feel like I was playing a table top PNP game. Everything else, from the 50's SCIENCE! to the post apocalyptic world was just an added bonus. Fallout turned me from a Final Fantasy <s>moron</s> Fanboy to a life long Fallout/cRPG...

SEARCH is your friend! Other than that, try this: www.google.com

Per is correct (yeah, like that's a shocker :) ). I'm looking at the scripts for both San Fran shops... and the only thing it cares about is the restock time, % chance the item is there, and if it has the max amount of that item.

Let me start by saying that this was an incredibly well written and insightful article. Though I was lurking around during most of the noted events (and read through the various news bits and forum posts about the things that happened prior to my joining NMA), it was still very informative. It...

I considered <s>stealing</s> renting POS when it first came out. Then I decided my time was better spent imbibing alcohol. :twisted:
