One of the things I can't stand about Fallout is the potential magnitude of damage from critical hits. I can be wearing the best armor in the game and whopping some mutant/enclave behind, but then BAM, I get one nasty critical hit for 100+ points of damage and its all over. One time, the bottom...

without having to barter away all of my worldly possessions? I retried Fallout 2 for the sixth [censored] time last night, with a custom class that has finesse as a perk (see my thread in general fallout discussion). So obviously, I do piss-poor damage with my pistol and I'm too dependent on...

I played through Planescape Torment as far as Bataar and I've decided that the game has become too hard. So I want to use cheats to get through the rest of it. A god-mode cheat or an insta-kill cheat would suffice.

Is there a reason why combat speed, which I ALWAYS set to max, doesn't affect how fast an NPC appears to run? Normally this is a non-issue because somebody running at normal combat speed appears to be about as fast as a character/creature walking at max combat speed. But it sucks when I find a...

I am just asking because, between levels 1 and 6 (and probably a bit beyond) I have been making encounters with enemies so numerous that I have to run away from them about 80-90% of the time. And sometimes, I even have to load a save game and try traveling again because either me or one of my...

I'm doing the quest to find out who caused Richard Wright to overdose. After talking to a number of dealers and not getting any dialogue options to talk about his death, I looked at the guide, and found out that I was supposed to ask one of the brothers where Richards room is, so that I can...

I'm doing what the walkthroughs tell me to do; I'm using the Presidential access key on the terminal near where Frank Horrigan is (to subvert the turrets) but I just get a message saying "This does nothing" Is this a bug in version 1.00? (And while I'm posting, I thought I would point this...

I want to complete the main quest and ONLY the main quest without doing any of that extra crap in the game. And I need to find a trainer that does infinite health (for my character ONLY), infinite APs, and infinite money so I can get through this as hassle-free as possible. I'm quickly running...

I remember when I was playing Fallout 2 I was scoping out Redding, building by building, and taking lots of good loot out of bookshelves, desks, lockers, etc. In some cases, the occupant was standing near or not-so-far-away from the container. I know that NPCs will stop you from looting...

Do you ever play Fallout games and get tired of the bad vibe of the wasteland NPCs? I'm talking about the ubiquitous gang mentality and the fact that its easy to make NPCs go hostile and attack you just for rubbing them the wrong way. It feels like I'm in the WoW forums or the Counterstrike...

I completed Fallout 1 a few days ago as a heavy gun user. And I wondered how much more hard it would be to get through those areas filled with super mutants with only small guns or even small-guns/throwing (grenades) combo. I have a character idea in mind that involves only small guns and...

I played through Fallout 1 and although it has some obvious flaws I think it is a game worth playing again. I am currently playing Fallout 2 and I can't stand how your character makes random encounters on the world map EVERY FREAKING SQUARE kilometer/mile/whatever-those-squares-represent. And...

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'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 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...
