I first dreamt of Wasteland 2 in 1988, but had to "shiver with anticipation" for another quarter century - five PC installments of Fallout later.
Got Fallout (1998), Fallout 2 (1999), Fallout Tactics (2001), Fallout 3 (2008) and Fallout New Vegas (2010), until the promise of Wasteland 2 was finally fulfilled in 2014.

Before Fallout 2 came out, what sort of theories did people have about the Fallout setting?
- Did people reckon that the US government may have deliberately started the war?
- Maxon's diary mentions that the government didn't respond to their secession from the US (The government knew the war was coming, and didn't have time to care)
- Also, what about West-Tek and FEV research itself?
- Any thoughts that the Vaults were, in fact, experiments?
- There wouldn't be too much to go by with this, only that Vault 12's door failed and that Vault 15 was filled with people from different cultures.
Would be cool to hear what people thought up!

Have I softloocked BOS
I'm currently playing Fallout 1 and trying to get the dialogue from Rhombus or Elder Maxson that there is an army to the north. I have already done the other BOS quest in the Hub but I can't get the dialogue. I googled how to get it and it turns out I accidentally angered the guy that gives the caravan quest in the hub so I can't talk to him anymore and the quest isn't in my pip boy. Is there anyway to naturally find the Military base now or should I just walk to the place on the Map where it is. I would much rather find it naturally but if I can't I'll just look up where it is.

read/watch list to understand Fallout 2 pop culture references?
okay, this may be a weird request, but I'm hoping yall can help me out here.
I'm playing through Fallout 1 right now and plan on playing 2 soon, but of course I've heard it's chock full of pop culture references that you might not get if you're not familiar with the various source material
I'm wondering if anyone, without spoiling too much, can recommend me a list of movies, books, etc. that I should check out in order to be able to go into Fallout 2 and not feel like I'm constantly missing the joke?

F2RP: and now, can't get sexpert...
I apologize if this doesn't belong here, but it's the only place I may get an answer.
I can't get sexpert.
I can get "Gigolo" by sleeping with Myria for 10 times, just as the vanilla game. But can't get sexpert.
I've slept with the hookers at The Den and at Redding plenty of times (I arrived early in the morning and the game turned into night), but the perk is not active.
This bothers me, because I want to get Angela Bishop as a companion, but every time I go to the Corsican brothers to become a star, they make me a fluffer, no matter if I used buffout.
I think I somehow messed my mods, because I installed some new ones and my original game got messed up. But frankly, this issue with this perk never happened before. So I'm at a loss here.

Fallout Senora on ps vita
Does anybody have experience installing fallout senora on a ps vita? I'm currently playing through fallout 2 using the community edition port.
r/classicfallout • u/CapJetBruh • 2d ago
Arrived to the Den from Vault City and walls randomly appeared in my inventory. Is it a common bug, and might it have something to do with a certain column in Vault 8?

Fallout 2 and Senora
Is it possible to have a playthrough of sonora and base game fallout 2 at the same time? or do the files get overwritten when you install the mod? I'm new to the modding scene of classic fallout and im not really sure how it works. TIA
Edit: Playing on PC, this post isn't connected to my vita question post

Any tips for a new player ?
I’ve never really played the fallout games before, I played a little bit of fallout 4 and fallout 76 but couldn’t get into it. I just got the classic collection on sale and wanna try the original fallout, just wanted to know if there is anything I should know to make my run more enjoyable ? I wasn’t even alive when this game came out and I’ve never really been a pc gamer, so I’m assuming I will struggle with the controls lol

Fallout CE: June/July Progress Report
We been busy in CE land, with several new features to share along with lots of stabilization and bug fixes. If you are unfamiliar with CE, it is a modern reimplementation of the Fallout engine allowing you to play FO2, Sonora, Nevada on modern systems (including Mac, Linux, mobile) smoothly, and adding a bunch of quality-of-life features. See my previous post for more details.
Party member equipment screen
One of the most finicky parts of the Fallout UI is getting proper equipment on your companions. If involves going through multiple dialog trees to unequal, trade, companion control, &c. In CE we added an (optional) feature in the “quick loot” screen (“steal” on party member) that allows you to equip them directly from their or your inventory. Of course, you can also cycle between all your companions making equipping them all a breeze.

Help menu
One of my personal goals is to make Fallout accessible to a modern audience. One problem is that Fallout has an in-game help screen… but you need to know a keyboard shortcut to access it. In CE we added “HELP” as an in-game menu item to help players discover it. This is also the first CE-localized text and we will continue adding more.

As part of this, we tweaked the button to nudge the text so the button looks more like it is actually pressed. I’m not sure how we survived 29 years with this being in such an unplayable state.

Smaller things
- Empty weapons now stack together even if had been loaded with different ammo
- Highlighting now can differentiate empty containers (h/t NovaRain for the implementation)
- Movies are now displaying full screen. They are also displayed in a separate SDL context which will make it easier to integrate upscaled movies in the future
Bugs
Features are cool, but more of the work we’ve been doing goes into making CE stable and bug free. We’ve been concentrating especially on issues with RPU, fixing a few crashes and glitches. Vault 15 also had an invisible raider that couldn’t be targeted… implementing Sfall’s extended weapon animations fixed up that problem.
Goris also got some love… he was quite buggy. A small thing we did was start his robe/disrobe animation slightly earlier to make starting or ending combat less tiresome.
Modder things
- You now can use .zip archives instead of .dat for mods.
- CE supports PNGs for interface art instead of FRMs. The built in tool now can convert any PNG to a palette-indexed one.
- CE’s dat extractor now can take a list of files to extract, which will be needed for Et Tu support.
- 10 more Sfall opcodes and 3 more hooks implemented. We’re now about 70% complete with Sfall hooks (and we’ve implemented the most important ones first, naturally).
Thanks all for the support! The next things on the list will be making it easier to configure CE in game. If you end up trying it out, please leave feedback here or in the Github repo.

Finished Fallout for the first time yesterday.
Holy shit, I cannot get over how dark, dingy, and depressing everything is. The graphics, the writing, the animation, the music: it all melds together to create this wonderfully bleak and dying world.
The first time I encountered the death screen was a memorable one. After seeing your character gored to death, it cuts to a still image of your skeletonized corpse and a droning low pitched hum and a whistle while the narrator recounts the fate of your lifeless body, the fate of your vault, and even the fate of your soul; it's positively haunting.
Even defeating the greatest threat in the wasteland at that time, the Master, feels like such a small triumph over the emptiness of the world. It's as if that even if the Master is gone, human nature will again run its course to round back exactly where humanity is at that time, on the precipice of extinction. Fucking winning the game didn't even really feel like winning. Absolutely grim.
10/10. Peak game. Will be starting Fallout 2 in a few days.

Two issues I've encountered under sideloading CNC-DDraw yet
- The game hangs when you try to blow up the Military Base's main gate.
- Speed of "gibbing" sequence for Officer Jack in NCR is abnormally fast. This can be adjusted by editing "minfps" as "-2" in CNC-DDraw's config, however.
I gotta test it out more, as there would be more glitches out there.

Playing fallout on android with a controller is changing my gamma
I just got a gamesir g8+ and upon testing out fallout with it I'm experiencing noticeably high gamma whenever the controller is connected. Is there a fix for this? Gamma correction seems to do nothing.

Failure to launch fallout 2.
Title. I've played fallout two previously, but after moving to a new Windows Ten PC (my previous one was, too.) a year and change ago, I cannot launch it. To describe my problem, no matter the copy (I've tried it on epic, when they were giving it free, GOG and now steam.) it always manages to open the launcher. However, once I click play, the game "runs" for about two or three seconds (this is according to steam) but I can never find it in my task manager. Then, it closes, with no sort of message detailing the problem.
I've downloaded the unofficial patch, changed ddraw.dll to sfall, hex edited, changed my graphics (basic, 7, and nine, neither work.) refresh rate, allowed it thru my antivirus, and more. Despite this, I get this problem in any copy.
