Hey /vr/ I want to play the first 2 Fallout games, is the gog version fine?I remember lurking in a thread that was about censored content in re-releases of one of the games but I dont remember details. Also, is it okay going in blind, or are there some bullshit mechanics that I should be aware of?
>>12314173Just download the US disc image off of Internet Archive.https://archive.org/details/fallout-usa-pcThere's also a demo if you want to try that out first.https://archive.org/details/FalloutDemoDownload the 1.1 patch from NMA.https://www.nma-fallout.com/resources/fallout-official-v1-1-patch-windows.50/Version 1.2 is the censored version.As far as advice goes, go in blind, but remember to save frequently. Pretty much every stat check is hidden and can permanently lock you out of shit.Charisma is a dump stat and Gifted is the best trait and the Outdoorsman skill determines how fast you move across the map.Everything else is pretty self-explanatory after you get used to the game.
>>12314173the gog/steam versions come with some mods to make the experience better on modern hardwareskim through the manual, at least the parts about what skills do what, and press f1 once you start the game to see your hotkeys. there isn't any bullshit but these games have some item interactions that come from adventure games and can seem unfamiliar in an rpg,
>>12314173You should look for good builds otherwise you will die to the rats, agility is op
>>12314217 (Me)Oh, and download the high-res patch.https://www.nma-fallout.com/threads/hi-res-patches-for-fallout1-2-the-bis-mapper.181743/It's already included with the Steam and GOG releases, but you're smart enough to drag a file into a folder, anon. I believe in you!
>>12314217>>12314243That or just download the Steam/GOG release and install the decensor patch.
What exactly was censored?
>>12314459euro stuff only as far as i know
The one and only proper way to play fo1 without wanting to shoot yourself in the head is within the fo2 engine using fo1in2 mod
>>12314173I played 1 with no problems but 2 was a buggy piece of shit where you have to change random settings in the .ini file to move around the map and it crashes at startup for no reason frequently
>>12314487i also recommend this + sfall + inventory filter mod, but it's not necessary if you just want an easy gog version
>>12314459>>12314462Read the note, the euro censorship is in the gog and steam version.
>>12314487Do be warned that this makes other changes to the game, not just a QoL mod that changes the UI. I believe you can disable some of them but not all.Going off the nature of the optional content (ie A motorcycle, money sinks, being able to get robot companions) I'm a bit wary of it for a first playthrough. If they thought adding that was a good idea (Yes even considering it's optional) I wonder what else they tweaked or bugfixed.
>>12314173There's a Community Edition open source port of both games. Information on them is scant but it seems to have the least amount of changes compared to something like Fixt, Et Tu, Restoration Project, etc. Might be worth looking into.
I tried the version of 1 where they port it all into the second game. I made a retarded gambler with incredible luck. He's retarded and cannot speak but he's destined to hit it big. Well fuck me, because gambling works different in fallout 2 and it's not possible to hit it big. So it completely fucked my whole playthrough up playing that version. So fuck whatever version that is.
>>12314173>is the gog version fineNo, you need to fan patch it. I played unmodded and barely managed to finish the game as it was breaking apart by the end (UI elements getting permanently corrupted, frequent crashes, menu lagging etc.)
>>12314173Godspeed anon. The most difficult part for people going back to the classics isn't the differences in gameplay or medium, its getting past the brand damage and flanderization its suffered for years. I hope you are able to apricate the originals despite the state of the series.
>suffered for years>state of the seriesNot retro, fuck off
>>12314173>Hey /vr/ I want to play the first 2 Fallout games, is the gog version fine?nope, they have high quality mods that fix bugs and restore content
>>12314914The first 2 games are retro, what the fuck are you talking about? I was saying that people who haven't played the originals and only know bethesda's garbage don't even figure out to interact with half the game's systems because of how simplified the series has become, and that they don't engage with any of the world building or lore because they stopped being a thing after the series stopped being retro. The point was to engage with it on its own terms instead of trying to force modernity on it.
>>12314462This is so fucking stupid. Glad I didn't waste any money on those cucked versions
>>12314173I played the steam versions recently and they seemed fine. I installed a couple patches to remove censorship and fix bugs. I wouldn't bother with other mods for a first playthrough, especially for the 1st game since it's fairly short by rpg standards. I think both of them come with sfall and a snarky message from the sfall devs in the credits about using their mod in an official patch and not properly crediting them, so they hid it.
>>12315029FO2 Restoration Project is kind of meh.I guess it's neat if you want to spend more time in the game world exploring around.
>>12314462Sucks to suck.
>>12317820You suck faggot
>>12318197You sound experienced
>>12315390You're right to think that.
>>12314173Get Fallout Fixt. Also do an unarmed build.
UVHUC71?CD157B04FCHave a Fallout 2 GOG key.? = World ?, the world in SMB2 you can only get to by clearing all 32 of the game's standard levels in a single playthrough.
>>12319449Nice
>>12318383You know it
what about best way to play it on Apple Silicon? Porting Kit? don't any you people use actually good computers?
