Fuck that. That's the coolest looking power armor there is! Enclave armor is the second coolest and the normal stuff is plain fugly.

With my luck 10 energy weapon build, it takes minutes to find the Alien Blaster early on and I generally use that the whole game.

Deathclaws are nowhere near to as big a loop hole as Navarro in FO2.

Not so much. Me and my friend were watching Trailer Park Boys and wondering why my Fallout 2 wouldn't work. I went to take a leak and he made this account to make a thread asking for help (not this one.)

I like some rap, but I'm more of a rock/metal kind of guy.

The first time playing Fallout 1, hit f6 instead of f7 after being caught stealing from a police officer in the hub. :( Also, before that ruined my main slot, I couldn't figure out how to get down into the Glow. I was standing around the crater absolutely furious forever. I couldn't recharge the car...

Learn to use DOSbox. It's very easy. Just read the readme files, etc and you'll be set. edit, moved to Fallout/2 forum. Oooooooooooo Shadow Topic! I figured out how to mount the drive, but I'm not sure how to access fallout from there. Does anyone know what I could type? The directory to my fallout...

Right-click your Fallout icon on the desktop. Then go to properties and select 'windows 95' in the drop down box under the 'Compatibility' tab. Ok, I ran it in compatibility and it fixed the main problem. However, it now makes any saves that I do with it unloadable after I've left immediate game pl...

Try compatibility mode too. Also if it always happens at a certain point in the battle try and change what you do from little to radical, to get by the point. It worked for me a few times. I've tried doing things abit differently, but always the same result. I'll try this compadibility mode, thanks...

Ok, I got VPC up and running and I think I understand it, but how do I open FO2 into it? Thanks.

http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/ http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/default.mspx My mistake...MSVM is actually MSVPC. Microsoft VirtualPC Also...Wrong Forum. There is a forum on this board dedicated to FO2 and related materials. This would go there. I tried the dos one and I don't really unde...

But he's the only person in the world that makes lisping cool.

DOSBox is a DOS emulator that runs on WinXP. Currently (on a decent computer) it will run Fallout 1 without much problem. It's not the best, but it's a really small download, it's free, and it runs damn near any DOS game you throw at it. VirtualMachine is a multi-machine emulator (sort of) from Mic...

Carradine is the fucking man. Go get his autograph.

That's not so easy because I only got one computer. Is there any sort of emulator that I could use for one of these?

Didn't work. v___v

No, try the patch again or get it from another source. I used to have a similar problem with getting attacked in Fallout 1. If the blow would connect with me the game would crash. Fixed it with the patch.

Thanks, I'll try it.

Sorry for cross posting, but nobody would answer me in the other forum. When I play Fallout 2 and go into combat, 1/20 times (ficticious statistic) the game crashes to a black screen with an error and I have to ctrl+alt+delete to get rid of it. It always happens in the same place of a battle in whic...

Whilst it would be difficult to execute without being extremely camp, it might be interesting to set it after Fallout 2, show that slowly people began to rebuild... and someone went and started another nuclear war (somehow), destroying the world <i>again</i>. Hmm, or maybe not. I think that would b...

Thanks for your responses. I have the paper case with fallout 1 and 2 in it and it does that wierd flippy thing.

I don't know why I can't install the patch, it's a real bitch though.

It always happens in the same place of a battle in which it happens, for example, right after taking my third turn. This ruined...
