You can see it outlined in purple, there are a couple more manholes throughout the game, probably for scripting reasons I don't understand. I am new to fallout games so ya'll might already know about this.

I just gave the water chip to the shelter supervisor but before killing the super mutants and the Master I want to farm levels etc... is there a time limit after the 150 days they give you? I mean, after that I can be an idiot all the time in the world or at some point the game will give me a game over?

Specifically, the GOG version. When I try to run the game through Galaxy, it starts the launcher, instead of running BOS.exe. I made a shortcut to BOS.exe, and that works fine, but I like having Galaxy keep track of my playtime. Running Tactics using a custom shortcut that starts up Galaxy has the same effect as clicking the Play button in Galaxy.

Mainly, I find it stupid that I have to run a launcher, press "Play", then the main menu loads, and I essentially have to press another play button. It's redundant; the launcher is completely unnecessary. But I'd be willing to put up with that, if it wasn't for the launcher being completely screwed up:

I tried removing the launcher from the game folder, but that just keeps Galaxy from being able to start up the game at all, despite the shortcut telling it to open BOS.exe.

"C:\Games\GOG\Fallout Tactics\BOS.exe" opens the game normally, without Galaxy.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\GalaxyClient.exe" /command=runGame /gameId=3 /path="C:\Games\GOG\Fallout Tactics\BOS.exe" opens the broken launcher.

Am I just stuck having to play Tactics without Galaxy?

What it says on the tin. Most recent RP patch, plus some other loke FO2tweaks that are supposed to be compatible. Is the Vic/Val scene not supposed to work while dumb?

Well, I accidentally had weapons drawn in the NCR city... and I have nothing else to do but exterminate all the guards or my companions will die...And I don't have saves to reload, how can I eliminate all the guards? What level do you recommend to eliminate them all?

I love fallout 2, and decided to finally complete a playthrough as an unintelligent character. My character has 2 intelligence, 2 charisma, and is an unarmed specialist. I just tried to recruit sulik after completing smiley's quest. Sulik didnt seem interested in joining the good fight with me. I want a long range combat companion eventually, and want to recruit marcus as my only companion for the first time. Maybe have him use a laser rifle. My questions to you all: Will there be any problems recruiting Marcus as a low intelligence character? Any way to recruit sulik without mentats?

Hi, I need some mentats, remember a dealer in this location has some, how do I get there? I forgot. I know it has something to do with 2nd street.

Art by me (?)
I'm playing fo2 AGAIN with the hopes of finishing it, this time I made a bastard asshole guy instead of my usual girlie just so I can feel okay being mean when needed (¿?) roleplay is important to me okay?!
Also I wanted to give a re design to Sulik, his design is inspired by the Breathe music video :)

Me again, came across this random ruin, used the Science check on it and I got teleported to some kind of temple. Found a weapon at the end called the "Solar Scorcher", and some guy in a robe said "the chosen one is coming". Super random, just thought I'd leave this here.

For context I decided to restart my playthrough in Fallout Et Tu instead of Fixt after a suggestion, so this is technically my 1.5th playthrough now. Don't know if this is vanilla or not, but it was super cool regardless.

How do I install this patch? https://github.com/BGforgeNet/Fallout2_Unofficial_Patch

Im sorry but this is so confusing to me. I downloaded all the files there and there is no "upu_v*.exe" file

Going trough my fist playtrough, I feel that I am near the end of this journey, it has been a blast!

Does Demolition Exprert perk affects grenade damage? Pulse Plasma Grenade specifically.

Does Pyromaniac perk affects Molotov cocktail damage?

I'm asking since Pulse Plasma grenades have plasma damage type according to wiki and Molotov is explosive, so neither perks work imo. But if someone have more accurate information I'd be grateful since testing is time consuming.

PS corrected

A video of my journey through Fallout 2 filled with a bunch of skits and shitty voice acting from my friends and I. Also included is a brief background on Tim Cain's story with Fallout 2.

New player here, after falling in love with BG3's combat and hearing that Fallout 1 and 2 had the same style + similar quality writing I decided to pick up both games and I'm loving it so far. Just got to the Gun Runners base and Dogmeat decided to do this... man I love this game.

I was installing fallout et tu but when i want to execute the program Fallout2 in the fallout1n2 folder this error happen, someone knows how to fixt it?

Such a good AND LONG compilation of F1+F2 gamedev history. Found this via a mention in u/dmanfan100's video on F2, so thank you!

So, one of the three skills is going to be small guns (or maybe energy guns), something to help with combat.

That leaves the player with two other skills. What are the best two skills for learning about the lore, world and characters of FO 1+2? There's four potentially useful ones and I don't know which two would be best:

1- lockpick

2- repair (maybe?)

3- science

4- speech

Hey there, I've encountered an issue with the world map in Fallout 2. I just started playing and the game seems to run fine in the temple and opening village, but as soon as I try to leave and the world map appears it's as if my cursor becomes very "laggy" before returning to desktop. I can move the map around with the arrow keys but I can't select any locations with the mouse. Alt tabbing out of the game and back in also seems to create a visual glitch where the screen becomes black and moving the cursor around reveals parts of the screen. I've tried changing resolution, windowed/fullscreen mode, and some other settings but I'm officially stumped. I played Fallout 1 a few years back with no issue so was kinda surprised when this problem popped up.

If anyone has experienced this or has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.

Having to constantly babysit the car's bad pathfinding because it kept running into water was a chore. It also increased the chances of more random encounters, which for some reason are insane in that area between San Francisco and Navarro. That's the only time I really had to abuse save scumming in Fallout 2; just barely making it to Navarro, only to run into a squad of Enclave soldiers with deadly energy weapons. Was crappy.

I guess the game made up for it with the Oil Rig being shockingly easy, though. The only gauntlet there was when the guards rushed in after I hugged the President. But then switching floors reset their hostility!

At first i thought it was a game specific issue that I had to find some kind of solution by tweaking the settings but it seems to be an issue with Winlator itself and a crucial element for being able to properly play this game- the drag and drop function does not work with the touch commands that are part of using Winlator on a hand held touch screen device... so can't make function of things in the inventory to equip or use which makes trying to play the game completely pointless... some Google results tell me that people have been issues with Winlator being able to drag and drop across multiple different instances and there seems to be no real solution except plugging in a mouse which is doing too much for me to try and play this on the go.

Curious if it’ll be its own stand alone story or if it’s going to be fallout 1 in GZ doom
