What Videogames are you playing? ΙΔ - Meet your doom

[AdamCrock]

If you can (this is actually a plot point on Fallout2) you should try assassinating somebody by giving them a few super Stimpaks all at once, then letting an hour or two elapse. Mwahahaha!

In F2 restoration project there's an alternative way to do this You can get super sweet "sugar pop's" (80% sugar , baby) candies , when You mix them with nuka-cola Your belly explodes in spectacular fasion ! xD

 

[tjs282]

in Fallout 2 there's this intelligent talking toaster who is feeling super-alone and have developed self awareness over 200 years of loneliness and can teach the player how to 100% win at slot machines using super-secret code the price for this secret knowledge is to agree for him to make You a toast though

*cough* Red Dwarf homage/ripoff or wot? *cough*

Oh I didn't knew that :O I guess I need to add Red Dwarf to my "must watch" list Thanks for the info.

I landed my ship!

From writing guides to celebrating very basic piloting. Sigh.

Is landing/docking in X hard again? I remember it being super stressful in XBTF, but by X3 it had gotten pretty mickey mouse since you no longer have to enter any doors or fly through any tunnels... I actually miss that aspect of the game because it just made it so much more immersive, and added a feeling of "Whew safe!" when you were being attacked and "escaped" to the interior of a space station.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

What is X? I don't know this series.

Six…ty thousand caps? I think you can buy the entire game for that much.

Not quite, I spent most of that buying books to improve my stats and then didn't have enough left for a sniper and combat armor so I gotta hit the slots again.

Something tells me You're not gonna regret it , just get water chip quick , before mutants overrun most settlements Also unlike Fallout 2 in part 1 You can finish most quests in one location (except maybe a Junktown Jerky Vendor quest and BOS admittance quest).

btw. Devs apparently knew about this casino exploit because in Fallout 2 there's this intelligent talking toaster who is feeling super-alone and have developed self awareness over 200 years of loneliness and can teach the player how to 100% win at slot machines using super-secret code the price for this secret knowledge is to agree for him to make You a toast though This might be cut content though so Fallout 2 restoration project mod by timeslip might be required

btw. 2 . In Fallout 2 Nothing is pressuring You so You can take Your sweet time and as a bonus You can get a car to blitz throughout the wasteland in style and load tons of loot gear in the trunk. Have I already mentioned how great Fallout 2 is ? xD

When I get the water chip, that removes all of the time pressure, right?

(even if I get the water caravans, the amount of time for the mutants to get to the base is 13 years so it's not really a limit)

I'm sure Fallout 2 is great but I'm not buying any games right now. I got Fallout 1 as a freebie a while back and I'm playing it specifically to stop myself from buying another game.

Fallout 2 has countless pop-culture references. I mean this is where you find the Phazer, which is a very powerful energy pistol of somewhat familiar design.....

If you get Fallout 2 on GOG, you get Elder Scrolls 2 Daggerfall for free!

 

[AdamCrock]

There's also numerous Monty Python references like bridge of death, arthur and his knights figthing a killer bunny and even holy frag grenade of antioch !! xD

Yes, but still mutants will override more and more settlement over time

I had an authentic holy frag grenade in my fallout 3 weapons mod.

I also had a spork of doom.

Well, it was certainly hard when I didn't know how to do it. You do have to actually land it, it seems like anyway. Get permission and follow the landing lights, but they don't just stick straight out into space...they appear on your HUD like a trail of Christmas lights and seemingly always want you to fly through the station instead of around it. Then instead of "hit the green beacon and the docking clamp comes to get you" there's an actual landing space that I suppose you have to land in. I haven't tried just setting the bird down on the sidewalk and hopping out though, so not totally sure.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Yikes, I didn't realize that was a thing. Do they kill everyone in the settlements?

 

[Takhisis]

Almost certainly yes. It is somewhat cathartic to see all those characters who are complete Jerkasses to you blown to bits by orcs with flamethrowers and rocket launchers, even though you're supposed to save them.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

You're supposed to sneak the basement take out the 3 there by surprise, take the farthest hall to the top of the school, kill the head raider and let the rest come to you one by one.

I got in!

I guess pre-war elementary school students had a few problems.

 

[AdamCrock]

Yeah, I am not sure however how long it take, I know Necropolis goes down first and Hub probably one of the last. Killing Master will stop the invasion and will not end the game (You'll still need to destroy the FEV Vats) With high enough science You can arm the nuke beneath the Cathedral so You don't need to be super powerful to take him down, however You'll still need to be powerful enough to get to the nuke and You will miss the fun of talking with him

Nah, you don't need to be "powerful" to reach the nuke. You can use the cloaking device or wear the Cathedral clothes sneak into.
Fallout 1 was the most "RPG-friendly" game of the whole serie, due to how many ways you had to do about anything. Save for random encounters (and even them can be avoided with enough Outdoorsman skill) you never HAVE to fight.

 

[Arakhor]

Planescape: Torment was similar, in that there were only two or three compulsory combats in the entire game. Everyone else could potentially be avoided, escaped or simply talked down.

Of course , I forgot about that. The easiest way to aquire the robes would be CotC church in the Hub. I think sneak skill would be also needed to pickpocket key to secret vault enterance from Morpheus (stealth boy can be useful to get past Nightkin unnoticed although I forgot where to aquire one, merchants in Hub maybe ? I forgot if it were possible to pickpocket one from a Nightkin himself xD )

Can you see the invasions in real time?

Pretty sure you can sweet-talk your way into the vault. And if you can't get the key, you can try to lockpick.

Possibilities, possibilities everywhere
(that's also true of Deus Ex, BTW, which is also an incredibly ahead-of-its-time RPG)

I don't know but I doubt it . I've always tried to prevent it

Deus Ex is a great game , I didn't played any new ones though but the original was awesome Figuring out how to approach a problem in RPG's are in essence the "Role Playing" part in the name R P G
