/vr/ - Retro Games

I, too, bought Fallout classic collection from last summer sale. I played FO1 with Fallout FIXT restoration and patch mod to have all the cut content we Europeans had. It was a great game, kinda clunky, but great. I also found the game little too easy, I was a master gunslinger after just few hours of playing. Took me about 33 hours to complete it.

I'm currently about 18 hours in Fallout 2, and I'm playing it with restoration mod to have the cut content. Otherwise I'm playing as vanilla as possible. The first thing I noticed was the difficulty of the game, it really is super difficult compared to Fallout 1. In FO1 you can find the good guns pretty early in the game, but in FO2 I have found only pistols so far. I kinda like it this way, FO1 -as great it was- felt little rushed. Fallout 1 was so easy that in some ways it was kinda disappointing. For example when I go to fight Deathclaws for the firs time. They were talked as urban legends and myths. I was so scared and hyped to encounter them, but when I finally encountered them, they were so damn easy. I could just snipe them between the eyes before they could even get near me.

Savescum, remember to save on different slots in case you fuck up and need to take a few steps back, and also look at your character stats and perks and try to play by the merits of your character. My character is not a good fighter, but I have high intelligence and high lockpick/thief skills, so I approach situations like a scumbag catburglar would. Need to do some difficult/expensive task to obtain something? Well I'm just going to sneak in and steal the thing I need. It's great.
