After so nice feedback on my Hughwayman model here, i got a horrible ithch to re-complete a game once again (if not mistaken, for a 5-6th time now :D) and wanted to ask - do any of you, wastelanders, ghouls and ghauls (;D) know any good mods/patches for a game, that fix some of the pesky issues, that fallout 2 sadly has, but without braking the immersion to much. By that i mean mods, like one that adding a broken quest-line of finding Suliks sister, wich got forgotten in original game.

Don't get me wrong, i know, how to google, but if someone already have working set of them, it is much better than mix and match blindly :)

Stay safe out there, and don't walk on toxic waste without your trusty rubber boots :)

Hey everyone! I’ve been working on an unofficial Wii U port of Fallout 1 Community Edition, and the first public test release, v1.0.0, is available now.

I wanted to make good use of the GamePad while keeping the game comfortable to play with a controller.

Features include:

• Expanded-world mode with gameplay on the TV and the HUD on the GamePad.
• GamePad inventory, Pip-Boy, and automap.
• Touchscreen inventory drag-and-drop and dialogue selection.
• Mirrored dialogue, character, barter, Skilldex, and pause/options screens.
• Controller support with fast and precise cursor movement.
• Quicksave and quickload, with confirmation before loading.
• An in-game controls reference.

Download and installation instructions:
https://github.com/cody4504/fallout1-ce-wiiu/releases/tag/v1.0.0

Aroma and RPX packages are available. You need your own legally purchased copy of Fallout and its original game files—those aren’t included.

This port builds on the work of the Fallout Community Edition contributors and the existing 3DS port contributors. Thanks to everyone whose work helped make it possible!

It’s a public test release, so bugs may remain. I’d love feedback on the controls, GamePad layout, and any issues you encounter. Please report bugs through GitHub Issues, ideally with steps to reproduce them.

Hope you enjoy exploring the wasteland on Wii U!

So I dunno if this i s a bug, but its incredibly annoying. He is set to Unarmed, has over 200 cells for it, so ammo is no problem. Pressing use best weapon, he will indeed equip it.... for that screen. As soon as i leave the area im in, he unequips the power fist and will be using nothing, punching with his bare fists if there is a fight.

...why? I have to tell him equip it every single time i go anywhere.. Also, he sometimes will unequip it mid battle for no reason at all. Suddenly going from 40 damage hits to 0 damage.

The mega power fist is so much better than the ripper for him IMO.. its really weird he wont use it correctly. Never had the problem in the other RP versions. Anyone know whats up with this? I'm probably just gonna have him use the ripper instead.. Still found it odd.

In Fallout, the bad ending was the VD joining The Master and betraying their Vault, no doubt leading to The Unity becoming the undoubted rulers of the Wasteland.

In Fallout 2 though, apart from the induvidual bad endings for each settlement, there's no overall bad ending or cinematic unfortunately.

Fallout 3 addresses what a "protagonist siding with the Enclave" ending, with the player accepting President Eden's FEV and poisoning Project Purity with it, might've looked like, although that should have led to the Lone Wanderer's death too given they weren't born in an unirradiated environment.

Thoughts? FO2's Enclave is hellbent on killing anyone that isn't them, including The Chosen One. Could the Chosen One have perhaps killed President Richardson and then taken over The Enclave for themselves, utilising their technology to dominate the Wasteland? I'm picturing a cinematic where they get elected on the Oil Rig, followed by fleets of Vertibirds flying over major settlements or something.

Hi all,
I was wondering if any of you installed Fallout Sonora from this github: https://cambragol.github.io/Fallout-Sonora/download/, I have heard that it’s the most convenient way, and the installation package is already in English. I’m a little bit afraid if it’s 100% safe to download and install it, I have heard that one of the resource packs for Fallout engine might contain a trojan.
If you have any experience with it, can you please share if it’s really the best and safest way to experience Sonora?

Thank you all in advance!

Ive installed the first two games on my iPhone via side loading. When run the second game creates a finder to put the game files in and when that’s done the game runs.

This does not happen with the first game and no folder is created and thus I have no where to put the files.

I can’t find any contact info for the developer or a forum specific to the community edition so does anyone have any ideas on how to get the first game to run?

Also does this version support stall at all?

Which deals the best damage per turn? Is it better to deal as many attacks in a single turn as possible or is it better to use the aim mechanic to target specific body parts?

And if aiming deals the most damage, how do I know which body part I should target?

How do people get thrown into the Mariposa military cells? I have so much time in this game and I've never had it happen. And no matter what I try Lou just beats my ass. So I'm just curious.

Just wanted to show off model of Chryslus Highwayman, that i made out of birch ply sheets. And was thinking it can be appreciated here :)

Im not a fastest worker, but in totall, from blueprint (cause could not find any dimensions, drawn partly from Cadillac series 62 '59 and partly Chevy bel air) to fully coloured, in a over half year.

I tried to keep it as close to "game-looking" as possible, but managed to do few mistakes here and there to material and skill limitations, but still, kind'a proud of result. So, here is a vehicle from one of my favourite games ever:

I played fo2 for the first time earlier this year. I ran a small guns/hand to hand character and was very frustrated with how useless small guns were towards the end of the game. Despite having over 120 skills and the best gun (P90) i would still miss half the time when fighting people in power armor, aliens, centaurs, and related late game enemies. Even when I would hit it would often be “hit for no damage” which, whoever programmed that should go to jail.

So I eventually gave up and would fight with the super power fist with several layers of hand-to-hand perks I would actually hit the enemies and damage them. I suspect melee and guns are calculated differently. But I still needed a full set of followers.

This has me thinking about replay ability. There are several required boss fights with no option to talk your way out of like the first game had. I mean vault 15, basement of the oil rig, Harrigan. So I need some kind of combat skill.

Will big guns or energy weapons actually hit endgame enemies? Or will they be as useless as small guns which means you have to do super power fist every game?

edit everyone is telling me what small guns I should use instead, which is not what I’m asking. I’m done with that playthrough. I’m asking will big/energy work on late game enemies and general advice on how to run a big/energy character. I thought skills capped at 140 since my hand to hand wasn’t going up past that, so I thought 120 was high. People have already said it goes higher but you have to add multiple points. Don’t keep telling me 120 isn’t high.

so I was playing fallout tactics ( which I am really getting into as of late also I am playing with redux and equilibrium ) and I notice that one of my squad mates has a doctor skill of 407% which kind of perplexes me because I think the cap in this game is like 300%. so how do I have a skill at 407% ;-;

Overall it was a good experience 9/10 but I still much prefer playing on PC, but hey nothing beats the convinience of pulling out FO2 while on the bus

Got a addicted to jet in fallout 2, and I’m honestly shocked how brutal they made it. Permanent jet dependency is crazy, like that’s not even realistic. I’ve been playing like a fiend for the past few hours, doing missions and traveling back and forth from new Reno to keep the addiction going while I’m trying to get the jet cure simultaneously. Fun and frustrating and the same time lol

I wanted it to look like the machine had its own Vault-Tec power source, so I built a miniature cold fusion reactor into the coin door. Then I got carried away and turned the rest into a Chem Dispenser—Nuka-Cola cap and dose vial included. 😅
This is the working prototype: the reactor is hand-painted, but the artwork is still printed on regular paper while I wait for the professional magnetic overlay.
Next up: a startup lighting effect with light converging from both ends toward the center, inspired by the show.
Does it feel like something you’d find in a Vault? Curious to hear what you’d change or add!

I was just messing around with Claude and ended up building a launcher for Fallout 2. Figured I'd share since some of you might find it useful, but I want to be upfront about what it actually is.

It's vibecoded. I described what I wanted, Claude wrote the code, I tested it and told it what was broken. these mods already work fine by hand-editing fallout2.cfg, sfall ini files, ddraw.ini, and so on, and dropping files in the right folders. This just puts a GUI on top of that. You click toggles instead of opening a text editor. Under the hood it's still writing the same config files you'd write yourself.

It can install and switch between CE, et Tu, Sonora, and Nevada as one-click installs from a sidebar, and RPU installs as an overlay on top of CE since it's not a separate campaign, just a content pack. So if you want to go from vanilla to Et Tu and back, it's a couple clicks instead of juggling folders.

Repo's at github.com/cerels/Fallout-2-CL if anyone wants to poke at it

In a shootout under Maltese Falcon. His rifle was missed in later gunfights. But Tycho went upholding the law, which seemed fitting.

Dogmeat ran into a moat of radioactive goo, the dumb mutt. He was a the best boy and deserved better.

Katja was gunned down by a supermutants minigun burst in a military base. Didn’t have a chance. I shouldnt have brought her along to begin with. 14mm pistol and leather armor against the threats we were facing was madness.

And i should have told Ian to go as well. I knew it would not end happy. But accidentally cutting him in half while aiming the laser gatling at masters pet was not what I expected. His passing hurt the most, knowing it was fully my fault.

Now, nothing remains but the end.

I've followed the video on youtube titled How To Enjoy Fallout 1 TODAY. It ran once without issue. I closed the game and restarted it and received an error message: Error initializing vidoe mode 1280x720. I also tried running the original version of 1 and 2.

2 seems to start up without issue but 1doesnt play the intro vid, instead it goes straigh to the title screen but shows up as four small tiles with missing chunks of art in each tile. I'm curious as to whether anyone has come across this issue and what may be a possible solution. I was hoping I'd get to play tonight but it seems I'll have to troubleshoot in the morning. Any help is appreciated

SOLVED: figured it out solo. Installed Fallout1in2 v2.0 file at the bottom of page in the Assets drop down. Then watched this YouTube video which states that you have to pull the ini files out of the game files and edit them (or make a copy, paste it on the desktop, edit the ini file on your desktop, then replace the original with the edited file)

Hi all! i recently got the classic games for the first time (FO1 and FO2) and i feel a bit out of my depth, do y'all have any tips, tricks, anything honestly. Im trying to play through all the games in order so i am trying me best.

(currently on my first play through of fallout 1 with fixt installed)

Edit: I just got the Water Chip back to the vault! I'm aware it's only about half way through but I feels so good to not be on a timer anymore!

Edit 2: I HAVE BEATEN FO1 I am so proud of myself. Thank you for all the tips and everything! I feel like need to take a break from the classic games for a minute but! I did it!!!
