Agility is too overpowered. If action points were a static 10 it would be great because it'd allow more variety in character creation instead of having to max out agility every time. And agility would still be viable due to AC and the many skills it influences.

I decided to give Fallout 2 a chance yesterday. I've played hundreds of hours in F3, NV and F4 and have done many runs through each so I wanted to try out one of the older games.

Decided to see if there was as much freedom of choice as I've heard, so I gave mu character 10 charisma and specialized him in speech and lockpicking.

I died like 5 times in the first temple because 10% of my attacks actually hit so I quit. Was I missing something?

File: 1502174168469.png (111KB, 333x325px) Image search: [Google]

111KB, 333x325px

>>388182492
And the casuals filter succed again.

>>388182492
You specialized in speech and lockpicking and took 10 charisma and probably gimped your combat stats. You can play the game this way but it involves actively avoiding combat encounters because you're not a demigod that can do everything at once like in Gamebryo Fallout. If you pick a build that doesn't sound like you should be doing combat with you really shouldn't be doing combat with it.

If your third tag skill other than Speech & Lockpick is a combat skill you can totally take on the game that way as long as you have enough strength and perception to use the type of weapons you've decided to specialize in. It's easy to run past all of the ants and scorpions in the temple of trials and just go right to the end and even talk your way out of the fight at the end since you tagged Speech. You get some Small Guns and an assortment of melee, throwing and unarmed weapons in the next town over and Big Guns and Energy Weapons a bit later in the game.

>>388182747
Got any other input aside from memeing? Because I'm failing to see how this game has so much praise for freedom of choice when I cant finish the tutorial because none of my attacks hit.

Don't fight, press 1 to sneak, 2 to lockpick, an urn got a bomb, put it in front of the second door and just talk down the dude.

>>388182861
I did also specialize in small guns but I only had a spear. I was under the impression I had to fight those enemies since it seemed like they would always be aggro. I'll try it again at some point.

>>388182492
the intro/tutorial is just shit, fucking annoying that people like >>388182747 try to defend bad designed areas like this

>>388182492

>>388183093
Why? What does it do better?

>>388171867
>actual atmosphere
>better story
>no le wacky reddit humor

>>388182881
The freedom of choice comes from being able to complete tons of quests and the entire game with a bunch of different types of builds. A lot of quests have Sneak/Steal/Lockpick solutions, Speech solutions, Combat solutions or even just perceptiveness on the part of the player to find an item in the area to finish a quest an alternate way. Just because you built a non-combat character and he can't into combat doesn't mean the game doesn't have freedom of choice, it just means you're utilizing it wrong.

Contrast to Bethesda Fallout, there's no freedom of choice in builds when you can do everything at once and be great at everything and all quests have 1 or 2 solutions maximum.

>>388183039
You start with a Spear because you're a tribal. You can get a pistol or a pipe rifle in the next town over, then a revolver or a desert eagle in the one after that. You don't have to take part in the combat in the temple of trials, you can just run past everything until it's out of range of you and then hit the end combat button.

Also do this
>>388183093
Fallout 2 is a direct sequel to Fallout 1 and Fallout 1 is a lot easier to take in as a newer player. Fallout 1 eases the player in better and is a lot more condensed with less content or clutter. Plus Fallout 2 is just filled with story references to the first game so you're going to be clueless about half of the shit going on.

>>388183156
Shorter and better designed, fallout 2 is a mess, a fun mess.

the intro is not hard and is like 10 minutes. It really is a casual filter.

>>388183156
The climax is better in FO1.
If you walked into FO2 thinking you can just win by convincing le final boss and le evil faction to kill themselves, think again. The dumbasses in charge of the game thought that it would have been better to just force the player into a generic boss fight at the end, thus forcing you the player to have an energy weapons/super soldier build no matter what.

Wasteland 2 is good though.

>>388183670
Play 1 first. Even if it's usually agreed to be less good, the experience of both is enhanced by playing them in order. A few reasons:
-You have story links between the games that pay off in 2.
-It is easier to get used to and understand the game mechanics by playing 1 first.\
-2 starts off much slower than 1, and is therefore more likely to discourage you from going on.
-1 is incredibly short compared to 2, so you might as well spend a few hours to play it.

i started with Fallout 2 aswell and i had a great time with it, it took me a couple of tries to really get into it, but once i was past Klamath i was loving it.

the tutorial temple is pretty gay but you can do it in a few minutes and it's not very hard. the Klamath rat quest is a real pain in the ass to do, especially with only a pipe rifle.

you can press F1 or F11 for a list of all shortkeys including switching weapon mode to kick etc.

Not only the turrets, you can also just convince the Enclave troops right beside the room to fight Horrigan for you as well.

The ending does involve the Chosen One killing Horrigan in some way or another, but by no means are you required to have a super soldier build like that guy says. Turning the turrets & convincing the troops will fuck Horrigan's day up.

>Makes a character that is not designed for combat

WHERE DID HE GO WRONG

>>388187760
That's why it's still banging below barrel alongside with F3. Gunplay is WAY better than F3. F3 is just Oblivion with duct-taped guns. Both games have barely researched Fallout Bible (bah - even previous games) and made some retarded lore mistakes.

>>388187665
NV wasn't THAT bad but I'm not considering it the best. It's DEFINITELY better than 3 and 4 and there is no doubt. I would call it decent spin-off with shitty mechanics and minor goofiness in lore department.

FT would be perfect if there would be any actual dialogues. In other words - anything that would you call a RPG story. Actual combat system would be a decent base for proper Fallout sequel but nope. Todd had his own nerdy vision of his "epic journey post-2077" with Bretons, Imperials and Nords.

fallout 2 becomes terrible after you visit Haiduken in arroyo after getting GECK or reaching this fourth dream or whatever . this whole tanker part is terrible and supercryptic (especially if you choose hubologists, its like big fuck you from devs for supporting the evil guys). i would have never progressed on my own (lowering int with mentats side-effect, so the "9" guy transfer fuels after formating emperor, yeah obvious), i must have used guides.

and the whole enclave part. oh boy. its a mess. there are so many plot holes (why they dont give a shit about tanker outside entrance to their base? why they let you wander around base? why the fuck there is a puzzle room that can kill you? why you can conivce those scientists guy to sabotage so easily?).

I get why people like 2 and 1 more, but they can be fairly obtuse at times and admittedly the gameplay isn't really suited for me, which is a shame because the actual dialogue and shit is really enjoyable

4's story is pretty mediocre, but it's still definitely good as more of a thing to dump hours upon hours into, and the gameplay and atmosphere is pretty good

3 has neither the benefits of NV or 4 and all of the flaws, but it does have a nice atmosphere too, especially if you remove the lime cordial filter

did you even play the game?

as I said, story and dialogue is mediocre, but there's still a lot of good shit within it. Just requires you to go off the beaten path more and is spread out compared to NV, which contains 90% of its quests and shit within a few dense regions.

There's a lot they could've done better, but it's still really easy to sink hours into while having fun.

>>388204353
No, there is nothing good in Fallout 4. It's just a whole lot of stupid shit to do. Ticking off checkboxes for the sake of it.
I played the game, spent far more time in it that I would care to admit and then hated myself for it everytime I put it down because there was no fun, it was just a fucking pointless time sink.

>>388204353
>The things that make the Fallout series good are mediocre

>>388204353
The game is a bunch of "busy work" endless bullshit "quests" everything is an ocean wide but as deep as a puddle. Kill, loot, return. etc etc.

>>388204596
I dunno man. I think if you think it was a pointless timesink with no fun in it but then still put hours in it, there surely must've been something you liked. Either that, or you're masochistic.

>>388204680
atmosphere and overall aesthetic is a fairly big part too. Admittedly, it's really easy to criticise it for those reasons, but fah hahbah is really well done and it does raise some interesting moral questions.

if it bothers you that much get that alternative start mod and silent protagonist, yeah it may be modded so I can't really use it to defend the vanilla game but it made subsequent playthroughs a bit easier for me.

>>388204860
that isn't really any different from NV's quests, minus maybe a sparse couple. 99.99999% of quests in video games are a variant of a fetchquest, it's just how they're executed that makes them good.

It would be much better off if radiant quests weren't a big focus though and we got 3-5 more quality quests, especially for postgame.

>>388171201

That's pretty heavy for a ball gag.

>>388199686
The tanker thing is reasonably explained by the FOB thing, so the automated defense systems at the plataform recognize you as a friend/member of the Enclave and don't blow you up on arrival. Also, I kind of remember that if you don't wear power armor they attack you on sight, like in Navarro. Might be wrong about the power armor though.

>>388205543
The difference though between NV and F4 was that F4 felt like busy work and nothing mattered and I didn't give a shit. NV pulls you into the world, immerses you etc etc. Every fucking game is nothing but busy work. The point is, everything comes together to make you forget that. F4 fails on so many levels in this.

Those are things that comes right of top of my head and I'm not even trying.

isn't Jet just brahmin shit? not unreasonable to think people knew about it before Myron, also there's that one bit of dialogue from FO2 (and before you quote Avellone does anybody ever really listen to him, especially when he wants the series to play out like FO Dust?).

I don't think it's unreasonable to assume Jet existed in some form before Myron's reinvention of it.

Not really. Fallout 1 has very like reactivity for an actual RPG.
Fallout 2 and even New Vegas are better.

Don't you need fairly high stat to become a porn star or can you use drugs?

>>388207578
could be some different chemicals that have the same effect that Myron accidentally recreated, or it could just be cow shit in general.

People can get high from that IRL, I think.

I'm playing with the Jinxed trait right now for some meta gaming.

But does Luck help in any way for the critical miss dice rolls?
The 50% chance for crit miss is perma, but is there a less chance to lose all your ammo and to destroy your weapon and instead to just lose your turn with high luck ? Because I don't want to play only unarmed late game.
Otherwise it's fun, but it's really silly even for Fallout 2 with everyone being a retard in combat. A bad trait for a first playtrought.

Also I'm addicted to jet and there is no cure for a guy with low science. You really fell the low strength and agility, not like in Fallout 3 and New Vegas, where you can eat drugs like candy, because SPECIAL are not important and you can get cure in the first village on the map.
It's really fun when your choices have actual gameplay consequences.

as someone who loves Fallout 2, I will say with confidence that the opening hour or so is shit and you have to suffer through it to get to the meat of the game

>>388208424

Oh no, a 10-minute part of 50-hour game suck. I hate Fallout 2 now.

>>388208792

The trials are nothing. The garbage part of the game is San Francisco (just like in real life).

A whole pop culture reference zone. What are they thinking?

>does aybody listen to Avellone?
This guy made Fallout Bible which should be primary source of getting any information, but Todd simply shits on it.

And yeah, Jet never appeared in F1 for this sole thing - Myron it invented. 80 years after F1.

In FT it also didn't appear because maybe action took 16 years later after F2 but in midwest, not in west coast.

Bethesda just fucked it up - there are evidence everywhere.

>But does Luck help in any way for the critical miss dice rolls?
It's not exactly explained and you can surmise it actually doesn't. LK1 characters have a higher chance to drop their weapons and stuff like that, true. But the overall calculation on how LK works with Jinxed is wonky.

Jinxed really matters more off of Armor Class, because all -misses- become -critical misses-. This means that Jinxed is a worse trait on Rough difficulty level of combat.
>there is no cure for a guy with low science
Read some books and you'll be fine. Otherwise really stockpile on Jet because it's cheap and ubiquitous, especially in New Reno. When you're high on Jet you can really ruin a lot of combat encounters. All that maters is that you get steady supply.

Drugs are also broken in Fallout 1/2 because if you play your cards right you can get a fuckton of them. Everyone ever tells you you can't play this game without 10 AG, but frankly, there's enough Buffout and Psycho that you can start with a 5-6 AG character and just buff yourself with drugs for tough fights; you don't need high AP to beat up rats and scorpions.

>>388203992
Because Tactics was made with real-time gameplay in mind first and then the turn-based mode was shoehorned in. You really are supposed to play it in RT.
