/vr/ - Retro Games

I used to watch my sister play 1 when I was young, I've played the other games.

>>5022520
Just play the game, man. I never get these threads. You already have it up and running.

prepare to get fucked, that is all.

>>5022520
Do not pick traps, throwing, first aid. They made some sense in Fallout 1, fallout 2 was more rushed, and there is no use for it.
Never raise any non-combat skill past 120%.
Avoid fineese. There is one enemy that is resistant to criticals - enjoy 0 damage on every hit and 30 hours of gamplay wasted.
Save often in different slots, because of crashes, that override save slot.
Don't pick a thief if you don't want to bother with save-scumming.

Those above are game breakingly bad. As in, so broken you might have to reload at one point.

I just gave you the introduction. If you don't want the game to be too easy, don't read the guides on the exact perks/traits/skills.

Your welcome.

>>5022543
>I never get these threads
not everybody has 10+hours of disposable time per day anymore, to play games so flawed that are bad even now with all the patches. It's good to have somebody to ask. That is what information sharing is about.

If you have any experience with FO1, then you know all there is to know.
If you don't, I've got ONE advice for you:
__________________________________________________________________________have fun exploring the game, avoid walkthroughs, it's the best way to play it, and play it whatever way you like it__________________________________________________________________________

>>5022561
Mate, you are a retard.
Kid me played Fallout 2 for literal 60 minutes a day, because that was how much time on PC I got back then and still had fun with it. I didn't even have modem back then nor know-how for searching for walkthroughs back then and still fucking managed. With Barter as one of tag skills. And it was fun to play.
Meanwhile you are pushing some retarded min-maxing and optimalisation bullshitry, not to mention you outright talk about save-scumming. Get rekt.

>>5022543
many just want to talk about the game at hand and the whole question is more of a frame of narrative. "what am I in for?" is framing it on moments and memories about the game, "any advice/tips" is just wanting to talk about game mechanics.

There can be bad versions of these kinds of threads like the "I just played X ask me anything" where it's just OP being such a fag he wants the thread to be all about them.

Read the manual and avoid any online tips that tell you to go high agility/intelligence and tag guns/speech/lockpick, unless you want to play with that build. The manual gives you all gameplay and character building tips that you need.

>>5022520
Unless it's Luck, stats should be even, rather than odd numbers.
That's literally it. You just can't fuck up in this game if you have a functional brain, but it's worth to know about the even numbers.

>>5022593
>Kid me played Fallout 2 for literal 60 minutes a day
>he dosn't think that's a lot
the average gamer age 13 or older spends about 6 hours a week playing video games. The fact you imply you have more time to do it now is concerning, I picture you are very fat and unhappy.

>I didn't even have modem back then nor know-how for searching for walkthroughs back then and still fucking managed.
So you are what? Resentful others ask for tips? Everyone should play it like you did? No discussion on helping new players? Shit man is this what you really want to be?

>pushing some retarded min-maxing and optimalisation bullshitry
I don't think you know what that word means. That or you see any anon saying "avoid this" as min-maxing.

>you outright talk about save-scumming
you played the game so you should know what anon was sharing with that.

>>5022598
Anon, three letters for you:
Kya

>>5022596
This.
And the reason why Luck don't have to be even number is because it's the only stat nor being calculated into sub-stats in any particular way, meaning you have direct transition to Crit Chance, rather then an equation (HP and HP growth, skill points, AP requirements for weapons and all the other shit)

>>5022598
Imagine missing the point so fucking hard, you instantly start trowing insults... didn't summer have ended yesterday and you should be in school or just /v/?

>>5022561
>finesse in gamebreakingly bad
What in the goddamn hell are you talking about

>>5022603
>>5022604
amazing, just calling people fat and unhappy gets (You)s this easy.

>>5022605
Not him, but it's just common sense
>10% higher crit chance
>If you crit, the DR doesn't affect your damage
What if I told you not everyone is playing the shittiest build imaginable, aka LK10 Sniper tagged Small Guns?
And even IF you plan to run the most boring build imaginable, you can just use Mutate! by lvl 27 and change now obsolete Finesse (which helped you all the way to lvl 24) and replace it with Fast Shot. Since with Sniper perk you don't need aimed shots anyway, Fast Shot basically allows you to fire three times per turn at this point, while would be horrible without Sniper

>>5022607
More like projecting your own state of body and mind is laughable, along with lacking reading comprehension leading to this, but whatever. It's not like you aren't a cunt in the first place (pushing builds and "tips") or aren't here for (You)s in the first place

>>5022607

/vr/ is just /v/ but for those older failures that people make fun of on /v/ but can't actually believe are real people. They are easier to stir and upset.

>>5022610
Still not gamebreakingly bad

>>5022614
You claim others are summer kids but act like one yourself assuming any insult is projection. Also I didn't give any tips, I was just prodding out how retarded you seemed thinking 60 minutes a day to a game isn't a lot of time, more so in your youth.
>>5022615
I still doubt they are at any real numbers like what /v/ paints of a sea of 30 something virgins wasting way playing games. At 34, none of my friends from school reached that and I have yet to meet someone at that age that is that pathetic.

>>5022561
>Just make Sniper build, man!
Also known as "How to kill greenhorn's enthusiasm toward Fallout 2: 101"

>>5022619
>Everyone is a fatass kissless virgin full of insecurities and issues
>But me, of course
Judging by how obsessed you are with this shit, how is your premature balding going, basement whale?

>>5022619
>At 34, none of my friends from school reached that and I have yet to meet someone at that age that is that pathetic.

Consider they wouldn't be out in public if they were. That's the joy of the internet is getting to talk to freaks that you never see in your day to day activities. I assure you there are many obese blobs of failure that play games hours on end all day. We just got a kid working here at our security that his dad landed him the job and he is a mountain of fatty failure that is only here because he needs money for his WoW sub.

>>5022625
>>Everyone is a fatass kissless virgin full of insecurities and issues
I called one anon out on that and it was because he implied 60 minutes a day as a kid playing games as a short amount of time and felt an adult would have more. That is a bit telling anon would be rather lethargic

>>5022616
As I've said, I'm not him and have no issues with Finesse. I find it very useful for my favourite build.
Which is going full tribal, with tagged Melee and Unarmed and not using anything but low-tech melee weapons and bare hands.
You would be amazed how far this shit can carry you if you know what to do and aren't aiming for Slayer (which is bugged, by the way)

>>5022627
So you not only can't into reading comprehension, but instantly started projecting insane bullshit?
Nice. Really damn nice

>>5022627
>Anon 1 says not everyone has 10 hours a day to play
>Anon 2 points out he managed to have fun by just playing 1 hour a day
>Anon 3 (or 1) retorts by calling anon 2 fat and unhappy, in some weird assumption than playing less means playing more
>Projects further than limiting your time for play is equal with playing more, rather than having it as side-activity
Wew lad, if this was a bit later, I would just say "American education", but it's too early. Meaning you are retarded, rather than being raised as a retard

>>5022630
you say this but it's pretty clear >>5022593 was talking about it being a short amount of time. It was in direct reply to an anon that shared that not everyone has a large amount of time to play games, the follow up was as a kid he had an hour a day to play fallout 2 on PC (which now talking about it opens the door he might have had even more time to waste on games) acting like an hour to Fallout 2 was low end when most that was a good session of time.

>>5022637
So you took the 10+ literal and still miss that 1 hour a day average is a lot of time wasted to a game?

>>5022641
Like I've already said, your reading comprehension is non-exsiting. It's absolutely amazing how one can use text-based board and yet be so damn bad at reading.
He literally just said he played the game in limited time and your brain somehow managed to create entire story that wasn't told nor even suggested

>>5022650
actually all I did was call you fat and you now just keep giving me (You)s fatty.

Part of me is really amazed at the whomb of an anon that's getting triggered a guy ask for advice in F2 and being called fat. I also love these where you can't tell who is damage controlling.

>>5022652
>4chan is just one person
I'm slowly running out of cup-lifting images

>>5022654
right now it's just you and me.

>>5022654

What about me?

>with barter
>waaah why are you advocating him to min-max
Did you even read my post? Do you even know what the min-max means? Are you mentally challenged?

> not to mention you outright talk about save-scumming
Mhm. Try to play a pure thief. Even with 300% in Steal and Sneak, it is impossible to steal without getting everybody hostile. It's even pointed out by the authors in the Cafe of broken Dreams.

>>5022605
>>5022610
One boss is resistant to criticals. Just saying. You can have 300% in unarmed with Mega fist, but you still won't do anything to him, even if you crit in the eyes. You need to Mutate the perk into something else. Which can be pretty tricky, considering how you played. And will involve at least going back to your earlier saves.

All in all, fineese should be avoided.
>>5022616
It depends. It can be, that's why I listed it.
>>5022624
Nowhere did I say it.
>>5022637
>Anon 3 (or 1)
Anon 3. This thread is way too retarded. I have to skip 50%.

Anyway OP, disregard those comments about Min-maxing. Those weren't my intentions, and I did not disclose any such informations in my prior post.

>>5022985
>This thread is way too retarded.
That's almost every thread on /vr/. /v/ is a lot better because this shit gets drowned out, here though? Get the right anon to call another active anon something that triggers them and you can't get rid of them because they can go back and forth all day or until real life steps in and since this board is for people that don't want to let go of their childhood you can see how threads can go on forever of nothing but shitposting.

>>5022520
When you enter an area for the first time, see if there are no dead bodies, because when you leave they vanish and you can lose the loot. Quite annoying if you miss the pistol in the rat caves.

>>5022561
>play vanilla version of fallout 1 and 2
>theyre fine
Are people retarded or am i just lucky

>>5023176
They run fine but it's nice to have upscaling, else everything looks too tiny on a modern display at 1080p or above.

>>5022646
It's one hour, dude. What is with your mindset? Average person watches more tv in a day yet the moment their tv screen has a game on it, they're fat losers? Do you not see how weird this is?

>>5022561
>>5022594
Listen, that's all fine and well but OP implied he booted up the game, starting staring at the starting area, and suspended the game to ask what's gonna happen. However you spin it, that's weird. This isn't the typical case where he's on the fence. The game was there, according to him.

>>5023210
1. why are you still dragging this bait out?
2. tv like internet has a broader uses than just entertainment as well as the fact how the data is covered their is based on TV just being on, meaning that's gathering data of people that just leave tv's on for background noise or otherwise.
3. why are you getting this work up about being called fat? Or do you just need someone to talk back to you this badly?

>Do you not see how weird this is?
Anon is baiting, it's not that weird. What is weird is your need to rationalize against it. That all said, anyone consuming a lot of sedentary habits will likely become fat or worse regardless of what it is exactly.

>>5023176
You are (un)lucky to feel people are retarded for being able to play a game without patching it. And you're about to feel even worse, because I've played through both games unpatched dozens of times without issue.

>>5023270
> but OP implied he booted up the game, starting staring at the starting area, and suspended the game to ask what's gonna happen.
are you ok? The OP reads
>About to start my first play-through, any advice?
That sounds like he is trying to prep up to play it and hasn't even started yet. No different than a person visiting a new location irl and asking for tips on where to go or what to see. What's weird is why you get this work up over an anon wanting to talk about a retro game he is getting ready to play. You honestly sound like you don't get to interact with people in the real world all that much if what you are getting hang up on is a guy wanting to get advice on a game he is getting ready to warm up.

>>5023210
>Average person watches more tv in a day yet the moment their tv screen has a game on it, they're fat losers?
>62% of adults in England are classified as overweight
>49% of adults in US are classified as overweight

are we done here?

>>5023176
Consider the following:
Game can be played in many various combinations. SOME of these combinations do not work. Only some.

>I run X software/game/hardware, worked for me, others are dumb!
wew

>>5023210
>Average person watches more tv in a day yet the moment their tv screen has a game on it, they're fat losers?
yes, get out more and you will see the sad state of things.

>>5023312
That was my first reply, ya dummy. I didn't drag anything out. And since I don't feel like quoting the other two messages, this will be a catch all. Confronting people does not mean anyone got bent out of shape. It's a simple question. One hour of time out of your day is so miniscule that the impression that someone wasted their day is odd to me. 3 hours goes by like a blink when I'm writing up reports. Unless your perception of time is wildly different.

>>5023363
how fast time go is irrelevant to how much it impacts you. If you are sleeping right you lose 8 hours out of 24 meaning you have only 16 awake. Work a full time job and that 16 becomes less than 8 in a weekday, factor in traveling, needed shopping like groceries, eating and cleaning/hygiene and it could be as little as 4 hours left in a normal weekday. That means an hour used on a game is near 1/4th of your daily free time lost in a weekday. It's likely why anon called him a fat fuck was because to look at that as not much time implies he doesn't really have much of a life going on. It's why most people seem busy all the time is life keeps you busy. Or at least a life worth living does.

>>5023371
So the issue is time management? That's rather personal then and I'd hope most adults figure it out by then. I used to do the 12-14 shit being getting salaried. Even during those days, I managed to get my basic needs and entertainment out of the way. Only difference from then and now are my 3-5 hours of sleep are actually 7-9 now.

>>5023210
>Average person watches more tv in a day yet the moment their tv screen has a game on it, they're fat losers?
pretty sure no one was talking about TV but you brought it up so consider that people watching that much tv do by average become "fat losers"
>Do you not see how weird this is?
if this was bait, good play you come off so stupid I think you are just a kid being stupid.
If you were sincere your parents failed you.

Can we just nuke that spot? I’m pretty sure a crater would do more for the country.

>>5023445
Then I guess you're even stupider since you did the nerd thing of picking everything apart aside from the main talking point of "what's on the screen is arbitrary". Even if you want to take it literally, my LA anecdote, a large area, doesn't have people being like this.

>>5023476
I find it funny how one of the shittiest parts of the US is right next to the wealthiest instead of being in some forgotten corner.
