    My biggest tip for fallout 1 and 2: Actions have consequences. It is entirely possible, and sometimes extremely easy, to make people mad at you, or make them refuse to talk to you. This can lock you out of a large number of things. In Fallout 1 for example, the guard outside of the Brotherhood of Steel. Make him mad and that's it, no brotherhood of steel for you, ever. in 2, just make a brand new save file before you talk to Lynette.

    Also note that Luck is very, very important in these games, unlike other titles. Do not set your Luck to less than 4 if you're new since it will cause a high amount of critical failures, and if you set it to a high level (around 9 or 10), you will be able to lockpick and repair things you normally wouldn't be able to at your level of skill with enough repeated attempts.
    (Also, later on, if you get to the level where you can use Sniper, 10 luck guarantees that you will always critically hit.)
    Never underestimate the power of luck.

      well i remember, when i first played fallout ( in 1997 ), we had no internet at home. i had one friend that played the game as well and we exchanged knowledge, tips and tricks and what not else to get further into the game. IIRC it took us month to finish the game and if i recall correct, it wasnt even in 1997 when "we" finished it. man that was fun. i feel pity for you, really pity, because exploring something on your own is so much more fun then a quick google search with quick success. brave new world =b

      @Pintkonan 6 років тому +26

      your last sentence here, this is the true nature of fallout, the wasteland and every good rpg. you've been kicked out of your vault with no informations about the outside world, so you have to gather the information for yourself, whether by wandering around or by talking to others who might have a clue where to look for what you are looking for. brotherhood of steel council, for example, gives you the info to look for the mutant base in the north ( and since you start in the north and explore east to vault 15, where the map almost ends - there is only one north left, that one to the west ). the info for the master can be gathered in the boneyard from the children of the cathedral. players today just dont have the patience or the will to role play.

    Fallout 1 and 2 appealed to my imagination in such an amazing way. It didn't rely on flashy graphics to tell a story, it just told a damn good story through on-screen text and let our brains do the rest. Oh, and I'm not blinded by nostalgia, I only first played it a couple of months ago.

    You forgot to mention that the skill exploit goes in reverse when you learn from books. The less points you have in a skill, the more points a book will provide, so setting the Game Difficulty to hard when reading will get you more skill points from a book. Raise all of your skills to 91% on Hard, then switch it back to normal and they'll all be 101%.

    A Note on #9. Your Pip-Boy alarm has the option to Rest Until Healed which can take several in game days depending on how injured you are. Resting will also allow injured party members to regain health as well. As a way to save time, and get a bit of XP I suggest using the First Aid and Doctor Skills in conjunction with resting. If you are not crippled then using the Doctor skill on yourself (or an uncrippled companion) can heal for more HP than the First Aid Skill. Both First Aid and Doctor can be used successfully 3 times in a 24 hour period and each success gets you 25 XP and 50XP respectively. Basically you keep using Doctor until 3 successes, after which it tells you that you're too tired to keep using the skill, then use First Aid until three successes and then rest until the use counter resets. The reset is 24 hours after your last successful use, so if you follow these steps you don't need to rest 24 hours after maxing out your First Aid attempts but rather only rest long enough so that its 24 hours after your last Doctor success.
    Another tip on Inventory Management. Accessing your inventory during combat uses AP, however you can perform as many actions during that time as you wish. So for the cost of 4 action points (3 with the Quick Pockets perk) you can reload all guns, change weapons and armor and use any drugs or healing items you want. Just make sure you have done everything you need to do in your inventory before you exit back to combat.
    Both these tips also apply to Fallout 2 and are actually more useful due to the lack of time limit and a better Quick Pockets perk.

    I remember when fallout came out, I was shit in it... BTW, the copy of the game I bought was in russian and I did not know russian at that time, but I non the less loved the game, so because I did not understand any of the dialog, or the context, my first games went like this - go somewhere, take something, if I can take it without being attacked - good, if not - I get killed. I once accidentally stumbled in BOS with vault suit and brass knuckles, save scummed allot and actually killed the 2 BOS guards. ( good thing they only had 3 shots each ). Oh I was disappointed when I could not loot their armor. I also remember the fun times when I wandered west and got "raped" by mutants.
    Some time later I asked my grandfather to translate some of the dialog for me, so I actually completed the game and learned some context of the story. I remember when my grandfather laughed out loud when I asked him to translate my dialog with BOS council when reporting their Marpiosa militarry base situation. He found it hilarious when in the dialogue it was stated that mutants were green.
    The funny part is, that for a long time I did not know how to reload a weapon and actually discarded or sold my empty weapons. ( stupid, I know )
    Later, when I was a little bit older and actually got a copy of F1 and F2 in english I just played the hell out of it.
    P.S.
    My tip is just play the game, don't read anything but these tips in the video ( they are basic, but very necessary and good ), try to complete it on your own the first times, it is more fun that way ! Later on you can read all the walkthroughs and try to do everything perfectly but first, just try it without help. :) Also, when you get bored, you can do the evil playthrough or ironman ! Ironman ir always fun ! My first evil playthrough was actually ironman, I got killed by bounty hunters with critical hit.
    P.P.S. After completing normal installation, you might like fallout FIXT mod, that fixes allot of bugs and adds some cut content, fixes some text dialogues and more. And if you will like fallout 1 , you will like fallout 2, so that means you MUST , I mean that you ABSOLUTELY MUST !!! get fallout 2 restoration project mod by Killap ( praise be to Killap ! ) mod for playing fallout 2. It also adds cut content, fixes bugs , glitches, text dialogs and more !

  • @emilmller1194
    @emilmller1194 10 місяців тому

    My tip: Examine companions regularly, preferably after each battle. That way you know their health, and if they need patching up, which isn't immediately clear by just looking at them. The game also doesn't do a good job of telling you when a companion has gotten an injury, like a crippled leg. If they start running away from every fight like scared chickens, an injury is often the issue. You will find out if they have an injury if you examine them. And you can easily heal it by using even low Doctor skill, or just a doctor's bag, which you can often find in/steal from any doctor's office in the game.

  • @grahamgentz3580
    @grahamgentz3580 Рік тому

    The Water Merchants can extend the time limit for finding the water chip by 100 days. However, it also lowers the Vault 13 invasion time limit by 100 days.
    1. Nonviolent solutions often give more XP than violent ones.
    2. You can shoot through windows.
    3. Talk to everyone. Check every building. Especially named NPCs. It's easy to miss entire shops or quests.
    4. Check the top edges of the top, bottom, left, and right of each map. A city or location might be bigger than you think.
    4. Always have a rope.
    5. If you enter combat, you can walk past NPCs who bust you for sneaking and stealing.
    6. A is enter combat, Space is End Turn (and get bonus AC based on unused AP), Enter is End Combat. Get comfortable with abusing that.
    7. Interrupting LOS can be huge when finagling enemy AI.
    8. Use lots of save slots.

    • @CaedoGenesis
      @CaedoGenesis  Рік тому +1

      Good tips; hotkeys too! The invasion timer though for Vault 13 doesn't really exist unless you mod it back into the game or have an original disc. They patched that early on by increasing it to 13 years. Digital versions have this patch. So there's no downside to the water merchants, despite the dialogue.

    I found out that one shouldn't stress out about any particular skill (other than luck, you can get only +1 [or +2, there is bug/exploit that let you get bonus two times] so you should pump it to 9), so Gifted + small frame isn't the only viable build. As for skills, you should put any points in skills you can learn from books - small guns, first air, repair, science and outdoors, at least if they are under 80 (that's the learning cap for books I think?). Even with time limit, you can read enough books in Hub library (and librarian lady restock them, so it's great way of dumping your excess gear, including very expensive late game guns like Miniguns, Bazookas, Lasers and Plasmas). Hell, I even managed to get ALL Brotherhood operations with few days to spare and no water caravans.
    Also, consider Bloody Mess a "no trait", since it's purely visual and give you best ending IMHO (I assume as reward of having no extra benefit). Always pick it if you otherwise didn't want Trait. 10/10, would explode rats with groin punches.

    My #1 tip? Suppress any loot whoring tendency you may have. There is not only a weight limit to what you can carry, there’s also an upper limit to the number of different items you can have in your inventory. Exceed that limit and things will start disappearing. You can even get burnt badly trading with your companions if you exceed the limit. I’m not even sure what that number is.
    I once had to repeat hours of game play because I “lost” my combat shotgun, cattle prod and rad away simply because I had “saved often” for a long time before I had noticed it happened.

    So inspire yourself by playing table top rpg first or watching those people who stream their games.
    This will help you understand the mechanics and the essence of a turn based combat. And realize that feeling of tension, actions, and immersions happen in your mind supplied by your imagination rather than on the screen.
