20 Helpful Gameplay Tricks, Hints & Tips - Fallout 2 

Shift clicking also makes your character run!

@@FifthOfNovember_Original So does just double-clicking.

Note; this feature actually comes from a mod that's built-in with Bethesda's retail version of Fallout 2. An engine enhancer goes by the name of Sfall. So by any chance you're playing Fallout 2 with the original disc, you won't be able to highlight dropped items on the ground.

Thanks for that, i've played lots of CRPGS but I could swear holding shift or alt did nothing for me

you just saved my playthrough thanks

Yep lol

Usually happens on like the 22nd of October from what I’ve experienced

Was streaming my first playthrough and it scared the fuckles & knuckles out of me

If you kill Flick in the Den, you can acquire some pretty useful loot early on in the game, including a .44 magnum.

@Yousef Ghaneemah i'm always in combat mood 🤡

Just kill the kids

I played fallout 3. The biggest disapointment was from the annoying kids in little lamblight. I wish I could kill them because they were direspecting me to core. But kids can't be killed.

This is in my opinion what made this game absolutely great the option to kill the kids if you wanted but it came with a steep penalty it gave you the freedom to play the game how you wanted to play it

Jaisian Geronimo That’s beside the point. They should look at these features and implement them in their future installments. Essentially they would be bringing them back. They wouldn’t regret it. 🙄

You can command companions to distance themselves in New Vegas.

You can just walk into them and they will move?

they might not wanna consider bringing something back that completely negates the need for lockpicking. and knocking down opponents to increase the accuracy in v.a.t.s? just fire the gun in real time if they're on the ground.

@@prettyradhandle Not saying it needs to be the exact same way. For breaking locks, they could involve certain dynamics that make it harder or impossible to break them. Maybe even running the risk of damaging the contents inside of containers. Or if you’re trying to break a lock in a town, you run the risk of being detected and they turn hostile accusing you of robbery. For knocking them down and increasing accuracy in V.A.T.S., maybe to be less redundant, it can increase damage as well whereupon shooting a target in real time would just cause normal damage. But those are just my thoughts.

Enjoy

I just finished Fallout 2 last week and absolutely loved it. It's my favorite of the old school RPG Fallout games, while New Vegas is my favorite of the 3D loot & shoot titles. I hope you have as good a time as I did, and don't get discouraged by how hard it is early on. It gets much easier as you gain skills, perks, and learn the mechanics of the game.

My favorite game of all time.

holy shit, this is the stuff i love in old games.

?

True

i DID and it was amazing, i played it forever

I feel this I’m only 22 and could not manage fo1 or 2 without being able to whip out my phone 😂😂

Just as a caviat doctor skills have some checks that companions won't be able to help you with. Mainly the vault city jet adiction plotline. You can bring Myron and he will interact with the Vault City Dr but only after you spoke with him with a skill higher than 75

Hey does the game run well on steam

the dead guy yea it runs pretty Alright

The manual is in the game folder

@@FlavioAntoniofull I think I got confused because the Manual is a Web link that leads to an online Manual?

How do you rest?

companions also holster weapons if you press H

@@LucasCunhaRochalearning something new every day

Wow i didn't know that... Fallout 2, the game that keeps giving.

@@LucasCunhaRocha only works with the RP?

I think placing a $100 proposition bet for 6 & 6 at the den is more profitable since it pays out 30x what you put in i.e. $3,000. Sometimes it takes save scumming but $3k is nothing to scoff at. Thanks for the tip about entering combat with the kids to avoid having them steal anything!

@@nickoliekeyov746 do you know how to properly boost your companions stats??

I saw a Fallout 1 playthrough where the dude did the same in Junktown with 40% gambling skill, he got 130 000 caps in mere seconds betting the 5caps in very freaking quick succession. Not sure if you need to create a macro to be able to bet as fast as the guy did, but the dude knew the game by heart, that's for sure. It was awesome.

@@gvl1260 in Fallout 1 just holding down a key spams it as fast as possible so he was probably just holding the 1 key. You can do the same thing with holding multiple keys at the same time.

Dru

Drugs also makes your companions OP.. any companion who lvl up with the after effect of drugs.. get news statistics.. after the after effect of drugs companions gains additional stats

Don't forget leaving NPC's so wasted you can rob from them without them noticing.

@aaron wieland what are you talking about?

@@Zeon081 watch his latest video dude, we know what you have been doing

I have a question it's true that the game has a 13 years time limite

ok finally got thur fallout 1, but cant find the Fallout 2 walkthur series, so Im lost after the temple.

@@michealdelay1583 Congrats, you made it! I actually haven't done a playthrough of Fallout 2 yet on the channel. I don't want to make any promises either, but know that I think about it often!

@@CaedoGenesis Helpful tips if you want to play with companions.. all companions gains level up called "stages" ranging from 3 to 6 stages... lenny has 3 stages.. cassidy,cyberdog and k-9 has 4 stages.. marcus and skynet has 5 stages.. sulik,vic,goris and dogmeat has 6 stages.. " i dont have info of party txt of cat,katsune and dex" Advancing the first stage is RANDOM and has a minimum level requirments a player has to reach. vic@lvl 5 or above... sulik,myron and dogmeat @level 6 or above... cyberdog@level 9 or above .. cassidy,lenny,goris and skynet@ level10 or above.. marcus and k-9 @level 12 or above " i dont have info of party txt of cat,katsune and dex".. to advance to the next stages up to the last is NOT RANDOM but requires a player to gain level up a numbers of times and varies for each companions: sulik,marcus and dogmeat requires 3 level up to advance stages beyond the first up to the last..vic, cassidy,cyberdog,goris,myron,k9- and skynet requires 4 level to advances stages beyond the first.. lenny requires 5 levelup to advance... to make them OP and very USEFUL all you needs are CHEMS and usable items.... companions suffers normal after effect of CHEMS such as losing str,per and APs from jets losing str,agi and endurance from buffout, losing int,perception and charisma..but also gain the withdrawal effect.. advancing to stages cancel out the after effect of the chems and reset there SPECIAL APs and skills accordingly to there stages but dont cancel the gains of the withdrawal effects of chems,, there recives a significant boost until the next stage if ever.... just remember not to used jet and buffout to cassidy alcoholic drinks can be a subtitute... commanding and them to live the party will "NOT" let them gain any "level up" when you level...franking myron to live for the purpose of area info does not count... lenny has the ability to heal you and the whole party through dialogue option, he will lost this ability if you ask him to leave the party... there are situation when the companion gonna ask permission to leave the party but they still gains a level up as normal as though as they are in the party...

}XFA PON SUD EN ESPAÑÖL LO JUEGO CÖN "EXAGEAR EN ANDROID Y ES TODO UNA PASADA Y EL 1 AUNQ COMENSE CON EL 2 😂!!"

@@Reminiscent1990 I believe it does.

use jet in combo with antidotes. make sure to have at least 10 antidotes

you mean the laser gatling :D

just started playing a week ago with restoration project and its so amazing! i already have 40 hours in

I also have tried playing it since I love fallout 3, new Vegas and 4 but it is a completely different game. Kinda hard making the change but I can tell this game is worth it

@@davidromero3449 Imagine how we felt going from this to Fallout 3 XD. It wasn't pretty...

While not being turn based, Fallout New Vegas feels like Fallout 3 of Fallout 2.

I just played Atom: RPG. Can confirm it is exactly what you wanted.

You're thinking of van buren

You should.

IamCookiePie actually there’s a talking plant if you have a shovel he’ll ask you to move him you get 1000 xp for that in broken hills

Sulik's my designated shovel carrier when it's not in use

@@CaedoGenesis Yea, companions are good for that, but unfortunately I always dump charisma to 2 or 1 because I don't really like travelling with companions, maybe I should start a run where I will get 10 charisma and give all companions a chance to shine

@@theburningone354 1k XP and possible 10% boost to doctor skill

TatodziadekPL plus the plant tells you how to beat the scorpion at chess which gives you a little xp too I think

Literally this^^^ man talk about some horrible advice. Or you can just exploit the combat system by kiting the enemies. Hit an ant and walk at least 3 hexes away and they won't be able to attack. Rinse and repeat. I've killed every enemy in the Temple of Trials with a non-combat build.

What

Some of the vendors have shelves or tables. Using steal on those shelves/tables while not seen(mostly when they are not looking at you) give you access to their stock and you can take without steal check

It’s the Restoration Mod.

Attack them and when they run away end combat they won't steal from you again

What are you referring to a phone?

@@JW-oe1lf yes

I think the time limit is 13 in-game years, and after that only thing that happens is traders, who will stop selling ammo

Any type of player can pass the temple, just don't make a intelligent character if u don't are.

it's better to use dynamite. i have over 200 hours in fallout 2 and never managed to kick down a door

I didn't know either

you can also use crowbar on some doors like using stimpaks on companions

Don't walk near him at night or he'll think you're a thief, talk to him during the day

I believe 720p is the best for this game. Decent details while the texts are still big enough to be readable. 1080p makes the texts too small, it's a terror watching a playthrough where the dude sets it to 1080p. Can't even read anything on a phone.

This is fun the second time you're playing the game. But when you know it inside out, it becomes much more interesting to see if you can level up and acquire gear without resorting to hacks. :-)

@@terjidjurhuus1917 What hack?

@@nzeusman8215 not hack as in cheating, but as in exploiting the openess of the game to make it easier to play.

@@terjidjurhuus1917 Yeah it's pretty lame i agree.

Oh yeah I happened to be a slaver my 1st playthrough which is currently I might give up and redo everything

Not really... 😂 Mega Power fist and enjoy the show 😁

And its FREEEE

how? I'm new in the game

I even got the paper back strat guide

this is the only one worth playing with 1 INT

Oasis is a location in Fallout 3, and how you help the Treeminders determines your perk-based bonus. Does that sound familiar?

@@CaedoGenesis well it was a primitive game version I recall where you are dying of radiation where you get paused to travel showing your stats go very bad and eventually it improves and remain. Fallout one did that while taking heavy radiation from volt 15 traveling back, but I think it wasn’t the first game.

@@CaedoGenesis well when I mean improvement I mean like +2 strength and endurance perhaps perception and agility. By one or two. It was very memorable but you don’t find it at all now. Fallout 3 first person view no? They need to fix that game. It keeps shutting down on today computers or mine anyway.

@@shadowlesswalls The Glow has heavy radiation in Fallout 1, but what you're describing sounds like an exploit of using chems and getting heavily irradiated or something. I know there was also an exploit with the Jet Cure in Fallout 2, that if used multiple times it would make some attribute bonuses permanent.

@@CaedoGenesis nah it was part of the game. Unless you mean exploit from game designers so they have a easier time but open for anyone to do. No glow in fallout 2? Perhaps it’s 1 then. Just odd I can’t find it anymore . I hope it’s on 2 since charisma is important now and in need of a stat boost.

Why ? Sorry but I just started my first playthrough

@@solidussnake2425 For some reason you are placed in-between the caravan and the remnant of the Master's army or Enclave patrol. Mostly the danger is in traveling by caravan to San Francisco, Broken Hills or NCR. But early on you will be killed even by highwaymen or bandits if you are placed right in front of them.
