Game Forum / Role Playing Games / Fallout / August 2004Just finished FO2 for the first time! [spoilers]
[spoiler space] [spoiler space] [spoiler space] [spoiler space] Just finished FO2 for the first time! (Yes, really). I checked the file properties on my savegame and see it was created in March 2003. Wow, I've been playing it for nearly 1.5 years! Can't beleive it's finally over. Few things: # I loved the custom ending. # It's funny how I spend so long trying to get the parts together for that car, finally got it running, drove it into the desert, ran out of fuel, forgot where I'd parked, and never saw it again! # I never used my doctor or 1st aid skills. I just used to use the pip- boy to rest. # There were some /very/ hard battles: Getting the vertibird plans from the enclave was an epic struggle of: switching rooms, healing, switching rooms, firing, repeat /^\ # Also, the final timed escape from the enclave rig was incredibly hard. Trying to get through that barracks with only one NPC on my side (I couldn't get Sulik to follow me in without triggering the alarm, so I was stuck with Marcus). In the end, I basically had to save before every single shot and keep reloading if I didn't get a critical to the eyes on my opponent. # Never managed to be a porn star. Lacked experience, despite spending a mint in the brothels and doing both mother and daughter in Reno! # Is there any point in playing on? I imagine I'll be scraping the barrel so I'm inclined to stop now, unless someone strongly recommends me otherwise. # I forget my level, but I ended up with 124 hitpoints. High? Low?  SignatureToby # Toby Newman > [spoiler space] > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > [spoiler space] Just reading some FAQs and aparrently I didn't need to fight my way out of the barracks, and could have had help from the enclave guards when fighting the final boss. I've no idea how I could have done that - I could walk past guards no problem, but there were a few robots that would ID me as foe and trigger a base-wide panic. SignatureToby >[spoiler space] > [quoted text clipped - 40 lines] >barrel so I'm inclined to stop now, unless someone strongly recommends >me otherwise. There are some easter eggs you can find after completing the game. You should get someone to tell you where to look for them but don't let them give you spoilers. ># I forget my level, but I ended up with 124 hitpoints. High? Low?

There are some cool things to do after beating the game, but you might as well read a spoiler to find them rather than meticulously scouring the game to find anything fun. If you mean any point in continuing to play Fallout, that's a whole different story. I've beaten the game probably 10 or 20 times now, and it's still fun to go back and make a different style of character. If you've only played the one character (you must've been pretty thorough, for 1.5 years...), try playing the opposite. Make a melee-only character, or a pyro, or any of a thousand other combat variations. Try a stupid one (great dialog!), or a super smart one (lots of gems in the dialog for them too). > If you mean any point in continuing the same character, I'd say no. > There are some cool things to do after beating the game, but you might > as well read a spoiler to find them rather than meticulously scouring > the game to find anything fun.

Really a great game. Played it two times yet. > # It's funny how I spend so long trying to get the parts together for > that car, finally got it running, drove it into the desert, ran out of > fuel, forgot where I'd parked, and never saw it again! That is interesting. Imho you can´t loose your car, because it will be marked on the map with a small circle ("car out of fuel" or something of that kind). Sincerely yours Oliver SignatureEmail Adress is valid! Enjoy Slurm! > That is interesting.

Yep, don't play FO2 without the patches if you ever want to make use of the car. SignatureDarin Johnson Caution! Under no circumstances confuse the mesh with the interleave operator, except under confusing circumstances! Hi wamingo! >> That is interesting.

I never encountered such a bug. Does it depend on the patches applied? But wait, I often encountered the "unwanted-leaving-a-caravan-bug", mostly on NCR to Redding-route. That was really annoying.

SignatureToby > Well, later in the game the car did disappear, but to start with it > seemed to guzzle so much fuel that it was not worth keeping, considering > it was barely faster than walking from place to place, so I just left it > in the desert anyway. I can't afford to lose the trunk though... it's the mobile firearm and Cat's Paws magazine storage for all of my characters. Fortunately, that never happened to me... I always got the "car's here" indicator of my maps. # KC Wong > > Well, later in the game the car did disappear, but to start with it > > seemed to guzzle so much fuel that it was not worth keeping, considering [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Fortunately, that never happened to me... I always got the "car's here" > indicator of my maps. Hm. I could have really done with more storage space, I had to spend hours (literally, I'd often sit down for half hour sessions) organising my inventory between my team mates. I never used a Cats Paw. What do they do? IIRC, I couldn't read them. SignatureToby > I never used a Cats Paw. What do they do? IIRC, I couldn't read them. A side quest and an easter egg comes to mind. IIRC the side quest is in the town you found Marcus, given by a ghoul. The easter egg is activated after end-game, in New Reno. >> Well, later in the game the car did disappear, but to start with it >> seemed to guzzle so much fuel that it was not worth keeping, considering [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >Fortunately, that never happened to me...

Did you get your car modified at the Chop Shop (NR miniquest)? It makes it more efficient and improves the trunk capacity. ~Homer # Homer > Did you get your car modified at the Chop Shop (NR miniquest)?

There are several possibilities to decrease fuel consumption of your car. Large energy cells are often available outside NCR, and the small ones can be used as fuel too.
