So, i want to start this, never played it before, and i know there's a community with mods out there, my question is : what are the ones needed for a first playtrough? I want some mods that dont really change much in comparison to the vanilla, wanna experience the game like it was supposed to be...

Project restoration comes a lot on google, is this a must have, does it enhance the game or its a total conversion or something like that?

Obviously if there are some mods that somehow enhance the graphics wouldnt say not to that hehe Very Happy

Try a vanilla playthrough, possibly only add the fix pack (not the restoration pack).

Last I tried the unofficial expansion, I ran across a garbage MMO quest, like "bring me 5 spears" or something in the new tribe locale, and promptly gave up.

Like if that's the calibre of what was cut, then I think you're better off playing FO2 with just the unofficial patch. Though even if most of the new content isn't as bad, I'd suggest to play the first time without extra content anyway.

game looks really nice when on a high resolution but unfortunately the inventory, skills windows remain very small and have a hard time reading; isnt any mod or some way that can make them bigger?

I'd already finished FO2 before a few times. I was playing for the new content. And my first encounter with that new content wasn't great, so I stopped.

Are you playing with the restored content patch? Because I can tell you that while there's some hit and miss here and there the EPA is a pretty fun place to explore.

Ah, so you're playing vanilla. I recommend the restoration patch for a second run.
At least the patch version of it, since Fallout has some nasty bugs.

Both gog and steam just have sFall included. Not really a dev update, just fanmade engine fixes.

I still don't have a power armor which is becoming a problem now that big guns are used by most enemies.

Off topic anecdote: the original video of the song is pretty funny, as it's not filmed in SF at all. Check at 1:19 and 2:00 I wonder if anyone recognises the statues or language Laughing



There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.

You can wait till they cycle and appear in the store left of the entrance or just do the Navarro quest and jump straight to having Advanced Power Armor.

@Bendi

I was aware of the Navarro Advanced Power Armor rush, but I didn't want to do that.

I tried to do the military base, but my companions don't manage to survive the swarm of mutants from the 2nd floor.

I finished it.

Navarro was great fun, but the ending areas were clearly undercooked. San Francisco in particular was very disappointing and quite buggy. The oil rig has its fair share of issues, including being locked out from accessing my companions and getting their endings.

Bugs, balance issues and cut content aside, this is a fantastic game, something that Bethesda will never be able to match. They don't have the talent or the mindset to create such an intricate and captivating storytelling/gameplay.

It would have been nice if Fallout 2 received some sort of facelift, similar to that of Diablo 2.

no mods??

i used some hi-res patch with zoom last time i played + some fix patch i believe and some mod that added more stuff to it, looked and played great.

its unfortunate that the game only supports very small sized images, so for a facelift the entire game would have to be remade with a new engine or support for larger size images in the current engine (very unlikely to happen).

i don't find the graphics too much of an issue though with the hi-res patch.

This is the site for Fallout 1-2 mods:

https://www.nma-fallout.com/

by far the worst community i've ever been a part of, terrible people, so i don't recommend their forum Wink

So you just let them explode with the rig, you monster?

Yeah, that's a common rookie mistake. You need to leave them in the starting area with the turrets, not the electrified floor area.

No, I went back after the cinematic and picked them up. Laughing

This is my first full playthrough, but I was aware of the ending anyway, I just didn't expect them being inaccessible after the final boss.

So many corners were cut, especially towards the end.

" it’s always ran too crappy on my pc"

Rolling Eyes

so this PC is worse than e.g a Intel Pentium II 300 MHz? that was top of the line around '97 when it came out. It runs great on modern computers.

i'll press X for doubt.
