This is probably a stupid, n00bish question (I'm new to Fallout modding, though not modding in general), but... Could this be overridden in his script? If so, wouldn't his saved data then accept the override value, and essentially ignore his first (bugged) proto henceforth? That way you...

IMO, if Bethesda could make any bigger mistakes than they already had, it was getting in bed with the evil empire (Microsoft) and this ridiculous X-based system. This Games for Windows live thing is utter garbage, and causes *Far* more problems than it's worth. At least to date, and I don't...

Right off the bat, I'll say good luck to any / all who actually want something like this. I'm not here to shove my opinions down anyone else's throat, so if that's the sort of game you think you'll enjoy, more power to you, and again... best of luck. I think you'll really need it. That...

Re: Looking around / new&old PC games I shouldn't have m Well, right off the bat.. If you like squad-based strategy games where exploration / discovery of a sector is all real-time, but combat jumps into a turn-based system.. I highly recommend Jagged Alliance, and Jagged Alliance 2...

I'll echo some of the great comments already stated, and since you've already proven that your rating or enjoyment of a game is not limited to how bright and shiny and new and sparkly it may be (or you wouldn't even have made this thread), I'd say you're definitely in for a real treat. I've...

@ Per Thanks for all the input. In clarification, when I say things like "during my time in the den, speech was bumped to 105" or the like, I don't mean to report that as a bug. It merely means I gained levels, and pumped the skill to this value. It's just included for a point of...

Awesomesauce. With a big, fat Australian cherry on top. I actually just picked up a double DVD set of parts 2 and 3. I already had part 1, and this was a steal at $10 for the pair. I figure it'll tide me over until they make some fancy re-release of the whole set on blue ray or hi-def...

Just wondering if the newest version of the archive includes the fix for this one. I'm at a point in my game where it'd be handy to have those shelves working so I can test some other stuff. No rush or anything, just figured I'd ask. :) Also, if I've already been down to that map in NCR...

I can't say I'm remotely surprised. It's just not in their best interest to release a playable demo that the gaming world (particularly "old school" fans) can get their hands on and tinker with. They already know that the slathering Oblivious fans will line up and buy the game in swarms...

Well since someone else already dug this thing up from the grave... I just re-watched Serenity last night on one of my cable movie channels, which was probably about my 5th time or so through the film. Still highly engaging and entertaining. Once I start seriously buying DVDs again, which...

Yep. It has exactly one rather dubious use, and even that is easily made null and void. Very wasted perk, DO NOT WANT! ;) If you want the nitty-gritty details, from Per's guide: and... And there you have it. -Wraith

Hrm. I haven't tried those yet on Vista. Other than some generic typical stuff (disable hardware acceleration, blah blah), I'm not sure what to suggest. There's a thread over on LucasForums though, which back when I was into those games heavy, was *the* place for troubleshooting and mods...

That, or if you know *where* Myron died, just go loot his corpse. Everything he had should be there on his body. So long as he died on a normal map and not "out in the middle of the wasteland", shouldn't be a problem. Of course, by this time, if you've had your character travel around...

Well... That's where. ;) Sure is. Now, frankly my knowledge of FO/FO2 modding is rather dated and archaic at this point (I've forgotten most of what I used to know, and not yet had time to refresh and update myself to the information), so someone else might be able to give you better...

The Nearly Ultimate Fallout 2 Guide As Per indicates, they aren't "the same", but it's generally close enough -especially since there really aren't many sources of electrical damage in the game. The traps that use it aren't really very dangerous (if you pay attention to your HP), which pretty...

Well what the heck... I don't remember who pointed me to it, or exactly when it was (though it had to be sometime in 96 or 97), but I downloaded the FO demo. I wasn't big on demos back then, because I was still on local crappy dialup, and our phone lines suck. Big files did not make me...

@Thorgrimm - All fair and valid points. Now I had a big long reply in the works, but I caught myself starting to go in circles, which I'd like to avoid. Probably doesn't help that my daughter and her friend are here for lunch from school, but anyway... While my personal view of the...

Er, wha? That's not *my* image. That's right out of the Fallout opening movie sequence. Go re-watch it if you doubt me. It's in there, and if it's not absolutely precisely that very bomb, it's damn sure about its twin brother. Anyway, I really don't recall saying anything about my image...

:lol: Indeed! As I said earlier, there's a whole lot of things that usually, if you'd ask any 3 of the dev team the same question, you'd end up with 3 different answers. Gotta love consistency. ;) Oddly enough though, in many ways I think that's part of why Fallout worked so damn well...

Out of all that, you nitpick "original"? Ok, possibly a poor choice of words on my part, but hardly worthy of a point of contention when the entire point was that, while there *is* evidence on both sides of the proverbial coin, I don't see anything that actually locked it down, specified it...
