[Game -> Mod News (DO NOT USE - use MOD > UPDATE instead)]

Human Shield dropped by our forums to announce that his mod designed to improve the Fallout 2 experience, by removing or changing things that don't seem to fit with the game's setting, has reached version 3. Here are some of the changes:<blockquote>Replaces gold coins with beautiful, beautiful caps. [Cap treature is now useless paper money]
 
 Changes some silly Easter Eggs, now more useful.
 
 Real-world weapons renamed.
 
 Removed electric maze on oil rig.
 
 Replaces Temple of Trials with short path.
 
 Lots of new Arroyo dialogue, better reason for getting GECK.
 
 Altered Arroyo maps.
 
 San Fran is now a fight between two gangs, one for more order and power (The Dragon), the other for more freedom and power (The Tiger [formerly Lo Pan]). The two gangs are now more between order and chaos instead of good and evil.</blockquote>You can view the full changelist in <a href="http://www.duckandcover.cx/forums/viewt ... 2122">this thread</a>, and download the file directly <a href="http://members.cox.net/humanshield/FO2% ... p">here</a>.
 
 Human Shield also asks for feedback, which you can post in the thread he created <a href="http://www.duckandcover.cx/forums/viewt ... 2">here</a>.

This is pretty good. But not good enough for me to reinstall FO2 and start playing it all over agian, though.

It's great, but coming way too late.

Yeah, I am surprised there are no mods in development to recreate the Fallout games on a new engine, like people are doing with the Ultima games. That's a mod project I'd be really interested in.
Especially since Interplay aren't in a position to sue people doing that.
