Fallout 2 is the best by far

OK I've been playing fallout 2 for ages now there is so much to do when the game ends but once you finish killing everydamn person on the map it kinda gets limited. I must admit though, it was harder then FO1 and much longer which I enjoyed. What I did not like was the fact that on my PC for some reason {even though it's a P3 700mhz with 120mb of ram and a riva TNT2 graphics card,} it ran real slow on the world map and I had to get the car before it went anywhere near normal speed. This is the only problem I had with Fallout 2 the first time I played it back when it first came out on PC {The day it came out in-fact} this problem was so annoying I took it around a friends house to get further into the game then saved the save game to disc and took it home. Now I've recently replayed it and completed it and I love it! The random encounters are brilliant the satire is awesome and the game is far more interesting then the first. But I was disappointed by lack of The BOS which didn't even really become part of the game. The lack of children did not bother me to be honest I had no desire to kill any. But having used the patch they do add some interesting sub plots to the game. This game was so realistic too in means of weapon management targeting what have you.

But the NPC's were much better the evolution of the towns from the first town were spot on the car was a great extra and the weapons were insane. The ability to fuck your boss over was also a bonus. The new perks were awesome. Things like been able to rob things from graves was just surreal and the ability to get perks such as Expert Excrement Expeditor was funny.

Fallout tactics was a farce I thought it was taking a very good idea and spin on Fallout 1 and 2 too far it just seemed a quick way to make money to fund a possible fallout 3 which I notice hasn’t happened, bastards!

Anyway I've yapped on too much I also love the mods keep em comin

I just wished there was some kind of conflict story plot with the Enclave and the BOS.

just wished the brotherhood finished makin vertibirds and we could like pilot a vertibird in fallout 3. that would be cool! or have ur followers change appearance to when you give them the power armor or you would meet that bishop child as the new bishop boss or get to the place where the tribals and vault 13 guys settled or ...( possible plots are endless in fallout 3, just hope black isle's reading this, hey guys give us FALLOUT 3)......blah,blah,blah

Spectral Fire,

wait till you try fallout 2 in A P4 2.0 Ghz, 256 RAM, 64MB Geforce II PC. My walk across the map was almost as fast as my highwayman when i was still using a celeron 333 megahertz pc.

Um, the ticks of the game are locked to the refresh rate, so once the game reaches its peek it'll be just as fast on any faster machine. At best the 2/3+ Ghz machines will make the load screens much shorter which is a good thing anyway.

Take Fallout 3 lame-ass wishes to the Fallout 3 forum, thanks.

Spec-> try downloading some of the mods - that way you can revitalize your FO2 experience.

some of the mods are all glitchy...

when people make their mods, do they use the 1.02 patch as a base, and then make modifications, or do they just apply it to the base 1.00 version?
it sucks when glitches that are fixed by the 1.02 patch are present in fun mods, it makes it less fun

IMHO modding the patched version is by far the easiest way to make mods since you have the updated version of the master file easily accesseble.

As a matter of fact I just finished a mod but I haven't had the time to playtest it yet.
But it's basicly a weapons mod with some sprite changes and some sound changes - nothing much but fun to do.

Nope, I named myself after my band's name. It is taken from a line in that song "Quarantined" by At The Drive In

"a single spark can start a spectral fire"

Fallout 2 would be greater if you could just create your own wasteland. :)
ok there's the mapper but a built-in would have been better! :))
after you finish the quests you can't do anything just cruise around, kill , barter......
i know it is long enough but if your a Fallout fan like me you know what i mean!
there could have been more quests aftergame too.
