Fallout 2 Hardcore

Discuss the game that started it all, and its sequel. Technical questions and issues go into the Fallout Technical Support forum, not here.

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't... I've noticed that sometimes if you get killed, you're popped directly to the Desert&Skeleton screen, but sometimes people keep on fighting. It's a bit annoying actually, especially if you have to repeat that same scene over and over again.

City endings...
The Den had the "tough but fair" result, since Metzger was dead.
Modoc and the Ghost Farm all happy.
Since I never even got into Vault City, they ran out of power and became 3rd-class members of NCR.
Gecko had no mention, strangely enough.
Broken Hills faded away, like it always does.
The Mordinos staged a "relatively bloodless" takeover of New Reno, based on Jet power. The Wrights had to settle for the "satisfaction" of knowing who had killed their son.
Marge Lebarge ruled Redding, allied with NCR.
Despite all this NCR success, Tandy had to resign and Carlson took over, because someone failed to clear out Vault 15, and of course the Squatters disappeared.
SanFran became the usual Shi paradise.

BTW it seems I was briefly "the unlucky SDF" and then back to plain SDF again. Mod humor, or did I just imagine it?

SDF! is for 1-12 , and 14-25 posts.

The Unlucky SDF! is for 13 posts.

I forget what comes after that. Somewhere around here is a list of all of the titles.

Should be in the FAQ in GD.

Also, notice how OTB pops up whenever someone asks about the SDF title?

/me whistles innocently

I distinctly remember you asking Zig to change the newbie title to SDF at the old GSA boards. Perhaps you're making sure your brain child is appreciated by all? ;)

No, I said that we shouldn't use it due to the fact that "long time fans of the Robotech series" might think that it stood for "Super Dimensional Fortress". I remember BluePencil thought my point was pretty funny.

What I wanted it changed to was "FNG" ("Fucking New Guy"). It gets the point across while not being quite as silly as calling someone "Some Dumb Fuck".

Cute until proven otherwise, eh? :lol:

If you read carefully, OTB or some other pyscho says that it stands for Some Dumb Fuck.

I actually tried playing Baldur's Gate hardcore. Didn't even get to Chapter 2. :)

Look, we know. Let me take this opportunity to officially welcome you to DAC, since nobody else ever gives a fuck.

Hardly. My constitution can't be amended.

Ah, I see. I suppose that would be a violation of "The Code"?

I feel for you if you're already getting senile "at your age". :lol:

(BTW, I meant to say "insulting" rather than "silly". I guess your senility is contagious, Stainless. :lol: )

I just hit the "big double three" last month. (In inclement weather I wake up feeling about twice that old, though. :lol: )

I'm definitely not the oldest one around here, though. We have some people verging on real geezer-dom trundling about in their handicarts...

No, actually I meant just what I wrote. It can't.

I hope it is, OTB. Maybe I can give it to Kreegle and trick him into making me an admin :P
