I've got a pistol with 24 shots and a spear but that's it. Also, just talking about it has made me install both 1 and 2 with plans to complete them.ĭarkknight9174: One thing that is annoying, but certainly not the entire reason for it being boring is that I've got Vic and Lenny as companions and they're equipped with knives and no armor. Personally, I love it to death but of course I have a fair bit of nostalgia going for it since I played it first around the time it came out. Of course, then you suddenly get your first Combat Armor and Combat Shotgun and whoa boy, party is on :)īut yeah, the game isn't for everyone I'm sure, especially so long after it's glory days. If you don't have the skills (like speech or barter), or aren't prepared to put the hurt on someone for it, good stuff will be hard to come by in the early parts of the game. But in terms of sweet loot the game doesn't really do handouts. Vault 15 has some pretty sweet gear accessible if I remember correctly, as does the Vault in vault city if you can get access to it. Klamath and the Den are kinda boring little town, as is Modoc (and this one is also totally optional) whereas Vault City and the southern and Western areas generally have more to do and more interesting/complex questlines that also start to intertwine, to some extent at least. Which sounds to be about the point you are at now. The wasteland is a dangerous place, I always saved when travelling anywhere and sometimes I even made stops along the way just to make another save.īasically I'd said that stuff doesn't really become *that* interesting until Vault City and after.

Well Fallout 2 is kinda old school, so unless you're specialized in combat (or Outdoorsman to avoid encounters and still get a bit of XP for it) you're gonna want to run from encounters, and be prepared to re-load if RNG screws you over. If I haven't enjoyed anything yet then this game probably isn't my thing I'm guessing? One thing that is annoying, but certainly not the entire reason for it being boring is that I've got Vic and Lenny as companions and they're equipped with knives and no armor. Darkknight9174: I'm about 10 hours in, I'm currently trying to travel to vault 15 (just repaired and optimized the power plant in Gecko), but keep getting attacked by packs of 8 or so giant scorpions.Īnyway, I hear there is about 30 hours left in the main quest, but I'm not seeing what is so special.
