Olympus 2207 (a Fallout 2 mod) 

The English version is out: olympus2207.com/en/o1-en/ Some of the things I complained about in the video (like the bad ending) are addressed. The game requires a copy of Fallout 2, but is otherwise free.

"Why did you start learning Russian?" To be the 74th person to finish Olympus 2077, of course.

The English translation was finished yesterday, it should get released in a few weeks. Im keen to see more than 5 or 6 people actually finish it

"We lost half the squad to friendly fire incidents" the Olympians start off as very intimidating and scary but then just keep getting more and more hilariously inept.

"2005 Russia and China enter into a military alliance" Man, I have been living under a rock. "April 2012 The defender power armor is introduced" ... I think I remember seeing that on CNN.

Even though it is it’s own thing separate from fallout (and I think it’s awesome that it is) I am really awe struck at how the aesthetics, especially the cutscenes are able to capture that feeling of OG fallout and give it new life.

I could listen to you describe the fall of human civilization all day.

I can't get over how authentic this overhaul looks.

"The cows are named lavash" - oh cool so basically in this timeline, Armenian bread mutated into cows through radiation!

Man, those CG cutscenes are pretty nice-looking

I love the super bleak, gothic, dieselpunk aesthetic to this mod. I think I might actually like it more than Fallout's aesthetic.

Between this mod, Perimeter, Pathologic and Warcraft 2000, I'm starting to think Russians have some sort of alien or otherwise supernaturally-induced insight on the meaning and fundamental elements of sentient life. Also, take care and Azura guide you, Sera.

I swear, out of all the punk aesthetics, Dieselpunk gets such little attention. You can find all the others from the over the top Cyberpunk and Steampunk all the way down to lesser known ones like Biopunk. Seeing a Fallout 2 FULL project in this aesthetic is absolutely beautiful, but with how unknowns it is is almost enough to make me genuinely cry... Thank you so much for making this known, I'm playing this as soon as I possibly can and cherishing it well.

Pneumatic guns are one of my favorite post-apocalyptic tropes. They don't make much sense a lot of the time, as you have mentioned, but they're just so damn cool.

Finished the game back in 2015 by couple of days. This "Mod" made in style of the original dilogy so well (except obviously ripped exoskeleton models) it got me thinking I accidentaly hopped in alternative univerese, where Black Isle had slighthly different team or licensed FO engine to other company.

Wait, that's not a Mandalore video

Since I just finished this mod, I feel the need to review it for all who can see this. Tl;Dr 7.5/10 if you like fallout 2 you will adore this. If you are new or dislike fallout 2 you may feel a bit overwhelmed. First and foremost. This game is very difficult in the best way. It's not unfair with it's difficulty, but you will feel the burn. The skills are a bit of a crapshoot. I took Casanova as a perk. I never used it even though I leveled it to 100 plus. You WILL need lockpick to finish this game. Don't think you can skate by without it. All the battle skills are equally weighted. You can find all manners of throwing weapons, small/ big guns, melee too. The quests are a bit... difficult to parse sometimes. You need to pay attention due to the fact that major details will be lost and you won't see them again by asking for a recap. There are 3 companions I found. They are useless. Use them to carry shit or leave them. I pity the player who has low strength. You need to carry 2 or 3 suits of armor to play late game. The story/writing is well done, albeit you will notice a grammar situation occasionally. Like I mentioned earlier, you need to pay attention when taking quests. It's not a bad thing for this to happen, but alot of new players hate Morrowind for the same reason they would not like this mod. Bugs. There are some, but I didn't encounter many. Some missions break, some dialogue breaks. All you can do is message the dev on discord and inform him for their next patch. I'm not great at English, nor writing reviews, but this is my attempt.

A shame there is no english translation or I'd play this without question. I remember when this mod was in the early stages there was an english translation being worked on. But it was a machine translation and frankly made no sense, guessing it was abandoned at some point. No idea why it's so unknown though, but I have no idea how large the Russian speaking Fallout 2 community is.

Can i hire you to just walk besides me everyday and narrate my life

Obscure Russian mod that nobody in the Western world dare played because there's no translation? More please, game design from Russia is quite interesting.

I think its fair to assume the biggest reason no one has played this is because there isn't an English translation yet. Then again, seeing how popular Fallout apparently is in Russia, you'd think there would be at least a sizeable Russian playerbase.

"..our k/d ratio vs unarmed civilians was just BARELY positive" LOL that made me laugh

I did not know before this video that you actually were russian. Your English is so accent-free and clear that I thought you were a native speaker, though I couldn't exactly pinpoint the accent. Gave you a follow on IG for good measure too! Great content as always! These projects really need more love and recognition

Frun fact, we are closer to the year 2207 than we are to 1990

Werner Herzog narrating his playthrough of Fallout mod: If you are idle in one place too long, you get irradiated. You sleep, you get irradiated. You travel on the world map, you get irradiated extraordinarily quickly.

Best game review channel alongside MandaloreGaming, love your content!

Man the Rainbow raiders quest line as well as raiding a caravan with kid soldiers makes it, like, New Reno level, just smaller

Mods have always struggled with solid writing tbh. its easy to write what you think is this grand epic that's deep and inspirational with hints and tid bits of intrigue, deception and charismatic characters that easily let the player understand all of it, but it usually ends up being cringe as fuck or derivative.

Олимп, несмотря на слитую концовку, определённо заслуживает перевода на английский и рекламы. Не одним же юзерам контакта и рутрекера играть в это.

I'm seemingly addicted to your channel now. The way you narrate the story and lore from this game to Morrowind is astounding, as if you yourself are apart of these worlds. Really enthralling, super glad i found your videos. You've revitalized my love for gaming and story telling. Thank you.

True Story: I crashed my car while listening to this video. Weird to say as an endorsement, I know, but after I got it sorted out I finished it. Thanks for the video Warlock!

I'm very very fond of your work. Keep doing what you do man.

Oh man, that soyboi bit with the huge chunk of tofu had me rolling. Your humor is on point!

The art style and sprites of this mod are absolutely gorgeous. And your narration is fun as hell. I've watched your Sonora video and this one a lot because they're a delight.

21:25 Chowing down on a block of tofu one-handed is some strong commitment to the bit

I just discovered your channel and the professionalism, obscurity of the games you find and love for the Fallout franchise hooked me. Also helps you're a fellow Slav :D

i love these old 3d looking cutscenes

Man, my Warlock senses tingled. What a mad lad!

Just wanted to point out that the logo for the NWO faction is just the logo for the old nWo WCW group, which must mean it's run by Russian Hulk Hogan!

You release a new video just in time when I begin to crave for one :D

Wow, so youtube recommendations just gave me this video out of nowhere, and I loved it! Watching a bunch of your other videos now, I adore the 'narrative review' style you do for some of these mods, so nice to get a review of both the gameplay and the story! Excited to see your video on Enderal because I've actually played that one and absolutely adored the gameplay, but the ending irritated me so much it literally soured the rest of my entire experience with it, look forward to watching it!

The sheer amount of detail to every aspect of the OG Fallout experience is staggering... The Fallout modding community continues to impress me. It's only unfortunate because I can't experience this for myself. Thank you for shining light on this hidden gem. It will be a good day if this ever gets a full english translation.

Having been a fan of yours since your second video went up I am appalled that you are under one million subscribers. You cover some of the most interesting games and conversions and have introduced me to one of my more recent all time favorites, Kenshi, and your coverage of Tamriel Rebuilt is what convinced me to finally give it a go, and it's become a staple of my Morrowind loadout ever since. Great humor, in depth and interesting coverage, awesome perspective from a part of the world that I as an American don't often get to experience, and a fun story all in the same video, what more can you ask for!

Just finished the eng version of the mod. Was gladly surprised when I heard the familiar voice in the death and final slides)

I really like the focus on mod content. You should continue to focus on this type of content

ALREADY? :O Thank you for your diligence my friend! Seriously wish you well and please don't burn yourself out

Your videos are so entertaining. You put a lot of effort into them. Glad I can watch gameplays of games I'm to lazy to play

Your narration is fantastic. Thanks for making this video and bringing attention to this fantastic looking mod.

your delivery on "this official is a ghoul. he has a monocle. is it cool to have a monocle? should I have a monocle?" was perfect lmfao

Imagine my surprise today when I die playing this mod for the first time and I recognize Warlockracy’s voice.

wow, best channel i've found lately. good stuff, man.

Your other content being fan games/mods of RPGS and games like Gothic is exactly my taste. Subscribed for sure

I don't know how this popped up in my recommendations but I'm damn glad it did, thankyou for spreading the word about this fantastic game

Watched the first 5 minutes of this video and knew I had to stop and play it for myself, spoiler free. Scaling the tower felt very rushed and the ending was laughably bad, but oh man, everything else about it is fantastic. The aesthetic is gorgeous. A little bit small for a commercial product but outstanding for a free mod. I especially love how they've redone all the sprites, same but different, while nailing the Fallout vibe, oftentimes surpassing it.

Just found your content man and gotta say i love it! keep it up man you got a new fan.

Finally got around to playing Olympus, now that they released an English translation, and I can say that I have never been happier to die... in the game that is. Top-notch voice acting, Warlockery.😉

Nice, I was just checking what was new and interesting on RU-vid and BAM!

Its so surreal to see a primarily English speaking content creator delve into Russian obscurity without even mentioning the "cyka blyat" even once Massive work

First video released since I subscribed. I'm gonna love this!

I know you're never going to get rich making videos in this format but they're so refreshing! I love how more emphasise is placed on the mod itself and the craftmanship that went into it, rather than a high pitched seizure inducing let's play... I'm working though your back catalogue and loving it. Keep up the good work!

The reason you proably got a pro Olympus end is prpably because if you work with the departments then it makes that path the only one. Idk Also I loved the Nameless One reference😂

I wonder how many mod projects have flown under the radar because they're not in English.

I have just discovered your channel. Thank you for the hard work put into these videos. Fallout 2 is my favorite game of all time and I am blown away by the mods you presented. I need to check out Olympus. Thank God it's available in English :)

Hey man just found ur channel, absolutely stupendous videos. I can't help but watch then all back 2 back no matter how at length they can be. Keep up the stellar work and I look forward to seeing more content ❤

The style that the 3D elements like the covers or banners of that the old fallouts had are always gonna look better than modern games

To me projects like this give the thought "what if Leonardo da Vinci only had crayons?" Feels like devs like this could do much more with better tools.

I remember watching all of the Olympus cutscenes on their RU-vid channel. I thought it was just like an artsy project. I didn’t know it was a whole game. Absolutely love the aesthetics.

Just found your channel. Awesome content! Looking forward always to the future!

well you know a place sucks when the tower is named by the pagan greek equivalent of heaven and tartarus is the pagan green equivalent of hell

Thanks for doing this spotlight. If people are looking for a good, full-size F2 total conversion, then Fallout 1.5: Ressurection is plain great. Until sensible translation of Olympus appears it's a great choice.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. You have a new subscriber.

Before I delve further than 2 minutes in the video, I cannot hold my monke brain and must state my theory as to why Olympus may be obscure, or to at least name a sizable factor. The language barrier. The mod appears to be made by russians and as any fellow lad who is proficient in both Russian AND English can tell that many mods do not breach the cybernetic-Iron curtain between the two sides. I have seen dozens of good stalker mods like "Taynie tropi, hardwarmod" stuff that are simply abscent and unheard in the western stalker modding and vise versa (dozens of incredible skyrim mods are obscure in the vodkaland). And the fact that many mods are google translated doesn't help much.

Once the translation is done, it'll be great to play!

Nice Video. Thanks for sharing this gem with us.

Saw your stuff posted in the SA morrowind thread. Love your vibe. Thanks for covering stuff like this that I'd probably never take the time to play even if it were available in English.

16:45 nWo? This shows us that no matter what happens, the Hulkamania will not die brother!

Absolutely loved this review, subbed. I’d love to see you cover more classic Fallout mods like Sonora or 1.5, or even Fo1 & Fo2 themselves!

I just died and laughed hearing your voice. Great job nonetheless xD

Woke up to a new Warlockracy video. Did I pass in my sleep and this is heaven?

Thanks for doing this man! The slav gaming modding scene was a huge blind spot for me and your analyses are both funny AND smart.

Not sure if you picked this up but the nWo sign's texture was mapped directly from a professional wrestling group that had something to do with Hulk Hogan. I bet there's probably some interesting dialogue or scripted event that happens in the arena.

"::шшш-жжж::" now I know what a radioactive ant dying sounds like in russian. This looks really cool and I like the 3d cutscenes.

Thanks for making this video, never would have found olympus otherwise

Was looking forward to your next review, this looks promising

Отличный канал, дружище! Посмотрел все видео и жду новые, так держать!

@Warlockracy In the absence of Mandalore and Sseth I must clearly that your channel's reviews are the most enjoyable out of all. Keep up the great work and may the Monolith be with you!

I always find it ammusing how Fallout 4 assets clash when placed in the old games but Fallout 3 assets fit in perfectly with only minor touch-ups. He didn't even realize that most of the high quality sprites are just models from Fallout 3.

This was actually excellent, I'll toss you a sub my man.

I've always been a big classic fallout fan and during last months I started seeing those Olympus videos late at night but they were all in russian while all the threads on NMA and other fallout-related forums were outdated or dead. It's really nice to actually get a proper exposition through native speaker - you have a great, or rather great lack of heavy accent for an ESL. Cheers from Poland from one fan of Fallout to another:P

youtube recommendations gave me a gem today

I just found this RU-vid channel and I have noticed you are new. Ngl so far you have done an amazing job and I loved this review very clean, good funny commentary, super clean and fantastic tbh I enjoy me someone who can do a good long mean review gonna go watch some of the other videos lol keep it up homie

"We are 7 year old sneak thief! The definition of Irresponsible!" I can state with undoubted certainty this line is completely true.

The guards who I pickpocketed when I was a kid don't treat me so well anymore. I wonder why? 🤔

32:58 is a reference to a book and movie called: The Road

Welp your practically now the reason I know mods like this exist in classic fallout. Like seriously. Also that defender power armor man. That design deserves to be preserved as fine art! ITS GOD DAMN MAJESTIC!

My dude, I am not sure how i managed to miss this video of yours (ironic given the context of how few, though I hope that has changed since this video came out, people had seen/heard about this game), but it's stuff like this (a passion project, use of the classic Fallout engine, mods and so on) that makes your channel one of the best that I have stumbled upon in the last few years. Seriously, your gaming interests allign with my own, we both have very dry senses of humour and the fact that you were writing for NMA during the same time that I was active on the site almost makes it all feel like it was predestined. All i can say is thank you, I no longer have the time to seek out these sorts of insane projects anymore so to have someone who's tastes are seemingly so in alignment with my own not only doing so, but creating excellently written and very funny long format videos showcasing their splendors is beyond fantastic. Honestly I am so very grateful, and while I am currently entirely unable to support you in a financial sense (let's just say that you don't become a carer for a family member for the monetary rewards) I give you my word that when I am able to do so, I will eagerly. Now I am going to scrawl through all of your uploads to make certain that there's no other amazing projects or mods that I am entirely unaware of, I wish you absolutely nothing but the best mate.

As lazy a reason as it is, I suspect a big reason for the lack of attention is possibly the lack of international translations. Wading into a game entirely in Russian when you don't read Russian is going to be a little daunting, for some. I do remember hearing of a potential English translation, once, but that seems to have not materialised. Also, the 'subtle' shade to elitist gremlin hives online while eating soy was appreciated.

T Rex arms is also when you overtrain and can't extend your arms anymore, and are forced to walk around in a sort of T Rex pose. Good times.

Really good video, didn't knew about this game, it's so sad that gems like this one get no recognition, at least your video will help with that

Thank you very much for introducing me to this mod. I'm downloading it right now and it looks freaking amazing. The website says that it's the first part of the story, so I hope that they're making a sequel to it!
