BF2S Forums Fallout 1 & 2 Tips

Firstly. You cant start the game with fighting, avoid fighting at all costs until you have yourself a gun and some good armour. The best way of doing this is just doing all the available quests people offer you and nick absolutely fucking everything. eg. The first town you come across in F2 has some alright armour, you need to get the money to buy it by stealing and completing quests.

Secondly, get help from some character as early as possible, if you look at a guide you will see there are about 10 side characters u can have help you out, max 2 characters and 1 dog at a time. Just look at a guide and get the help from that person.

Thirdly aim to level up your shooting skill early, but make sure you pick some weapon skill that you use throughout the game, ie getting plasma weapon skill early on is pointless because you dont get them till much later, pick pistols or rifles.

Fourth get 1 skill set per char, ie one char hacks, one steals, on talks well.

Thats all i can think of off the top of my head.

How does Fallout 3 getting banned come into a thread about Fallout 1 & 2 :S

It wasn't violence that it was banned here, it was the drug use in the game, which i actually agree with, kids WILL want this game, because here only ages 14+ really are PC gamers, and that makes up like 10% of gamers here PC ones.


Console kiddies will want this, and being able to use a crack pip, morphine and other drugs avaliable on our streets encourages it.


I for one, am 15 years old and have not drunk alcohol or done drugs, not once, and i never will. Doesn't mean i won't be getting this game off bitttorrent though.

Thumbs up!


OT:
Do not underestimate the power of PICK POCKETING!!!
Nothing beats relieving armed to the teeth guards of their miniguns (yes, it works ^^) before entering a fight!

I miss games that do that, too often I spend 50 bucks, finish it and delete the game 3-4 days later.

All to true...

Hm, Fallout 3 will be on the Silent Storm engine, which is awesome because on that engine almost everything is destructible like buildings and trees.

hows movement, whats the game like? don't understand how you fight if the game is turn based and explore at the same time

You and the enemy take turns fighting one after the other.  You fight first, then enemy, then you, etc...  I haven't played Fallout but I have played Silent Storm which is turn based also and so I'm guessing the two are the same in turns of basic gameplay with action points.

Its turn based combat, when some enemy detects you or you click on your weapon to start using it it enters a turn based mode, your base number of movement points are 8 per turn and using items, shooting etc use up those points, the computer then all move and then its your go again. The whole exploring thing is real time. Enemies move around in real time etc. They have a hearing and sight radius though, so if you run straight past a guard it will enter combat and he will shoot you, if you wait for him to walk away and then run past it doesn't.

Its a pretty simple yet very solid mechanic.
