I remember playing Fallout 2 (after buying it at Egghead Software) when it came out and running into a bug where the entire city of Gecko went hostile because I'd been to Vault City Some of the writing was cringeworthy but it's impressive that a team of around ten young people produced the game in such a short deadline

Fintilgin posted:Oh yeah. I think the issue with this had a lot to do with optimizing for consoles. I thought my new suite at the Lucky 38 was sweet until I realized getting back there meant 4 loading screens whereas my lovely Novac motel room only needed one

Freeside was originally going to be a single huge area full of people, but they had to divide it in half and make it underpopulated to avoid crashing. Yeah if I recall correctly a lot of the problems werent due to Gamebryo itself as a lot of people like to think but that Bethesda had Frankensteined the thing and things broke (insert Radium and the forums joke here). I thought New Vegas was no better or worse in terms of stability than other games but maybe I was lucky

DeathChicken posted:Most people started playing it after it got enough patches to not die if a butterfly sneezed within ten miles of your PC. I bought it release day so yeah it was rough at first but thats been my experience with every Fallout game on release (never played 4)

achillesforever6 posted:Yeah I remember from the first trailer when it showed a city skyline of the city it looked way bigger and lit up than what we got (granted that's the difference between a cutscene trailer and the actual game) Another thing I have problems with is how there are too many places where it doesn't make sense that its trashed, like the NOVAC hotel rooms could at least look semi clean and not on the verge of collapse. Well Boone blew Jeannie May Crawford's head off so there was no room cleaning service

I gotta say it was great when I finally got a dress for Veronica and she was so happy about it

Shrimp or Shrimps posted:I've beaten FO2 a bunch and never had issues with companions being useless. A) Give them all gauss rifles or gauss pistols (and their mid-game equivalents). B) do not give them pancor jackhammers or machine guns. Edit: C) Pray Sulik doesn't knock an enemy off-screen. I always end up with Cassidy with a sniper rifle and Sulik with a .223 pistol

Late but they did a great job with the atmosphere in Point Lookout. Felt super hot and humid and muggy Walking around in New Vegas never game me a sense of it being hot (or wishing for a nuclear winter)

Every time I've played Fallout 2 it ended up in a long slog of hitting Frank Horrigan with a critical to the eyes for only 4 points damage with the gauss rifle over and over

One of the best things about Fallout 2 was going back to the north section of the map and getting ambushed by highwaymen after getting good gear after being afraid of them early on

CASM is the only essential New Vegas mod So glad I found that after twice having to start over from scratch because my saved game file got corrupted
