don't let your guard down while traveling the wasteland, as the Hakunin message WILL scare the piss out of you and make you jump out of your chair more than any Enclave random encounter ever could.
The Den kids will try and steal from you every time you pass near them, if one gets distracted they may even take an important item, which will drive you crazy when The Chosen One says "uh... i was sure i had it right here..." later in the game. What you do is punch them once or twice provide you don't kill them. After that exit combat, that way they will run away every time you approach them in the future. Also The Den (my favorite place of all Fallout 2 actually ) is full of junkies that don't give a damn, hence nobody will attack you if you punch the kids, not like Klamath were you'`ll have every inhabitant after you if you do so. If you reach The Den with Sulik , you punch a kid and that kid or another one fights you back, Sulik may respond and kill a kid or two. No worries, nothing happens, no bad karma, not even child-killer reputation :-D - Fallout 2 , the greatest game ever.
I played fallout 3. The biggest disapointment was from the annoying kids in little lamblight. I wish I could kill them because they were direspecting me to core. But kids can't be killed.
This is in my opinion what made this game absolutely great the option to kill the kids if you wanted but it came with a steep penalty it gave you the freedom to play the game how you wanted to play it
I just finished Fallout 2 last week and absolutely loved it. It's my favorite of the old school RPG Fallout games, while New Vegas is my favorite of the 3D loot & shoot titles. I hope you have as good a time as I did, and don't get discouraged by how hard it is early on. It gets much easier as you gain skills, perks, and learn the mechanics of the game.
I've seen some tip videos before, but never saw someone suggest locking NPC's in rooms. I figured that one out my self and it helps out so much when you want to take out a large group of enemies before you are geared up enough without having to do that. There is a way to kill those kids who steal from you with no consequence. Get some dynamite and store all your items, then activate the dynamite and walk past them letting them pick pocket the dynamite and blow up shortly after.
Make Sure to dismis companions in a place where their easy to get to. You Don,t want to Walk through nevaro or the Sierra Army Depot Just for a companion you forgot
Pushing your companions out of the way? Smashing doors open? Knocking down opponents to increase VATS accuracy? Bethesda, if you’re watching, you might wanna consider bringing these elements back! 😡
Jaisian Geronimo That’s beside the point. They should look at these features and implement them in their future installments. Essentially they would be bringing them back. They wouldn’t regret it. 🙄
they might not wanna consider bringing something back that completely negates the need for lockpicking. and knocking down opponents to increase the accuracy in v.a.t.s? just fire the gun in real time if they're on the ground.
@@prettyradhandle Not saying it needs to be the exact same way. For breaking locks, they could involve certain dynamics that make it harder or impossible to break them. Maybe even running the risk of damaging the contents inside of containers. Or if you’re trying to break a lock in a town, you run the risk of being detected and they turn hostile accusing you of robbery. For knocking them down and increasing accuracy in V.A.T.S., maybe to be less redundant, it can increase damage as well whereupon shooting a target in real time would just cause normal damage. But those are just my thoughts.
Always unload your weapon before upgrading it (at least with the guy in new reno), not only will he upgrade the gun for free, but he will also return it to you fully loaded, meaning that if you have a spare version of your main weapon you can get some free ammo on top of the money you'll make selling it later. This is ABSURDLY good if you plan on using the assault rifle, since you can pretty much get one or two of those by fighting raiders on random encounters nearby, upgrading them and getting boatloads of ammo for free (and a fair amount of cash for selling the rifles too) since the rifle upgrade is an extended magazine, meaning a hundred bullets per rifle turned in.
*MOAR TIPS:* - Can't unlock a (foot)locker or the lock is jammed - use crawbar - Using several Super stimpacks on NPCs and waiting a few hour may cause them to die, without being treated as kill from you - since Super stimpack restore hell of HP, but in time it takes HP and this effect stacks - Some companios have high active skill like Vic - reapair, Myron/Skynet - science, Lenny - doctor - Some of the vendors have shelves or tables. Using steal on those shelves/tables while not seen(mostly when they are not looking at you) give you access to their stock and you can take without steal check - The kid in the can pickpocket you in return you can pickpocket them(or loot their corpses after using Super stimpacks on them)
Just as a caviat doctor skills have some checks that companions won't be able to help you with. Mainly the vault city jet adiction plotline. You can bring Myron and he will interact with the Vault City Dr but only after you spoke with him with a skill higher than 75
The children stealing in the den... They only steal from you. Not your companions; so just enter combat and run in the building, then end combat. Due to the turn based aspect, the kids can't do anything. Another tip... If you are struggling for money, get the gambling skill up to 125%. Go to any casino (NOT THE DEN) and play roulette. Hold down the number button corresponding to the $50 option, walk away and come back 10 -20 mins you will have a decent amount of money.
I think placing a $100 proposition bet for 6 & 6 at the den is more profitable since it pays out 30x what you put in i.e. $3,000. Sometimes it takes save scumming but $3k is nothing to scoff at. Thanks for the tip about entering combat with the kids to avoid having them steal anything!
I saw a Fallout 1 playthrough where the dude did the same in Junktown with 40% gambling skill, he got 130 000 caps in mere seconds betting the 5caps in very freaking quick succession. Not sure if you need to create a macro to be able to bet as fast as the guy did, but the dude knew the game by heart, that's for sure. It was awesome.
@@gvl1260 in Fallout 1 just holding down a key spams it as fast as possible so he was probably just holding the 1 key. You can do the same thing with holding multiple keys at the same time.
here is a tip. Drugs work on NPCs and so you can exploit aftereffects to your advantage. Before a fight pump the enemy with two doses of Jet and wait 5 minutes to lower a bunch of stats. Also works on checks like Arm-wrestling with Francis. Most importantly you can pump the Masticator full of drugs, wait for aftereffects to kick in and win the Boxing match much easier.
Drugs also makes your companions OP.. any companion who lvl up with the after effect of drugs.. get news statistics.. after the after effect of drugs companions gains additional stats
Very nice 👍! I knew about a quarter of these through experiments and reading tons of forums. I wish I would have seen this video first though, would've saved me a lot of headache. Movement speed and pushing people aside were the biggest annoyances I was glad to find an answer to. I was wondering what, if anything, happened to extra AP when you finish your move. That's good to know now as my play style was basically, I hit->I run away->enemy catches up with no AP to attack->I hit->(repeat until dead). Unfortunately, I had to start my third game (hadn't retched the Den yet but I had a butt load of items already) because I misplaced the Fuel Converter for the Highwaymen and spent a whole day, real day, looking through all the lockers and vases and bookcases... Couldn't find it for crap, had to start new game. Thanks for the video, no spoilers, I appreciate that. I'm definitely going to be watching this again for the other tidbits.
This has helped me so much more. Now I don’t have to go and press inventory and waste 4 Action Points each time I need to heal or something during combat now I only have to use two so much better all these tips were helpful thank you
The unofficial F2 patch also includes more keyboard hotkeys to command your party. You can tell everyone to spread out, come to you, loot everything they see or put there weapons away.
My basic tip : READ THE MANUAL I bought the game on steam and had no idea how to Rest or anything, until ifound the online manual and read up on things
I also have tried playing it since I love fallout 3, new Vegas and 4 but it is a completely different game. Kinda hard making the change but I can tell this game is worth it
with the open containers you can just use the steal skill to repopen without closeing and opening . some of the merchant's shelves have items for sale activate them for the merchant to show you what they have on that table or shelf. also with mira or davin you can juice them up on buffout so they can carry more and you can give them a set of power armor and make them slightly more usefull since with the + to str they can use better guns
Easy. Head south from Arroyo into San Francisco. Load/Save your way along the coast. Steal all the money/ammo/weapons you can, sell it back to the vendors, repeat the process and buy at least one, if not two Power Armors ;) ... then some ammo, weapons, stimpaks, books to boost your skills, lockpick!!! (electronic and normal), pliers and then head back to Klamath. Congratulations! Now, you're almost unstoppable!
@@Gbosh3095 Lao Chou (shop with 2 tables, one quard and brahmins in the back) can have the Power Armor in the inventory. If he hasn't got one, go outside, spend 14 days (if I rememeber correctly) and come back. His inventory should be refreshed.
1 Also you can use superstimpacs to silently get rid of some npc's that have something you want (or just deserve that) :3 2 Remember to have at least one weapon that needs no ammo (just in case) and/or one more in eq if your luck i low so you won't end up with weapon broken/lost on the ground (or lost in dead enemy bod on the ground in worse scenario) 3 Save before every travel, espacialy in early game as some random centaurs or Deathclaws are going to be a pain if you weren'r prepared 4 you can use drugs (or afterefects) to lower your skills so you will learn more from books 5 NEVER stand between frindly NPC with any mahinegun and enemy... sometimes back can realy hurt

@@CaedoGenesis Helpful tips if you want to play with companions.. all companions gains level up called "stages" ranging from 3 to 6 stages... lenny has 3 stages.. cassidy,cyberdog and k-9 has 4 stages.. marcus and skynet has 5 stages.. sulik,vic,goris and dogmeat has 6 stages.. " i dont have info of party txt of cat,katsune and dex" Advancing the first stage is RANDOM and has a minimum level requirments a player has to reach. vic@lvl 5 or above... sulik,myron and dogmeat @level 6 or above... cyberdog@level 9 or above .. cassidy,lenny,goris and skynet@ level10 or above.. marcus and k-9 @level 12 or above " i dont have info of party txt of cat,katsune and dex".. to advance to the next stages up to the last is NOT RANDOM but requires a player to gain level up a numbers of times and varies for each companions: sulik,marcus and dogmeat requires 3 level up to advance stages beyond the first up to the last..vic, cassidy,cyberdog,goris,myron,k9- and skynet requires 4 level to advances stages beyond the first.. lenny requires 5 levelup to advance... to make them OP and very USEFUL all you needs are CHEMS and usable items.... companions suffers normal after effect of CHEMS such as losing str,per and APs from jets losing str,agi and endurance from buffout, losing int,perception and charisma..but also gain the withdrawal effect.. advancing to stages cancel out the after effect of the chems and reset there SPECIAL APs and skills accordingly to there stages but dont cancel the gains of the withdrawal effects of chems,, there recives a significant boost until the next stage if ever.... just remember not to used jet and buffout to cassidy alcoholic drinks can be a subtitute... commanding and them to live the party will "NOT" let them gain any "level up" when you level...franking myron to live for the purpose of area info does not count... lenny has the ability to heal you and the whole party through dialogue option, he will lost this ability if you ask him to leave the party... there are situation when the companion gonna ask permission to leave the party but they still gains a level up as normal as though as they are in the party...
A reminder about tip number 4; if you use 'steal' on an already opened(=already searched) container, you can look inside again without having to close and open it.
One cheesy way to destroy the slavers guild early on: Start Lara’s raid and run to the guild instead of attacking Tyler’s gang Agro the slavers and just hide Lara’s guys will kill at least half of the slavers attacking you Run and pick one of the dead slavers weapons and that’s it, you can now fight them on your own May require saving and loading but the gang is guaranteed to take out at least two or three slavers for you
Fantastic list of tips! I'm currently making my way through fallout 2 for the first time, after having played 1, 3, 4, and New Vegas several times (but not 76, never 76 :P ). Anyway, regarding #2 - others have suggested simply getting a hit in on enemies in the temple and then running away 3 or 4 blocks. They won't have enough AP to attack you at that distance, and using a tag for those skills when you don't want a melee character in the long run is a lot to ask for.
Literally this^^^ man talk about some horrible advice. Or you can just exploit the combat system by kiting the enemies. Hit an ant and walk at least 3 hexes away and they won't be able to attack. Rinse and repeat. I've killed every enemy in the Temple of Trials with a non-combat build.
If people don't have weapons in their hands you can steal the weapons with high enough steal skill (or save spamming). If you see an empty handed guard you might get a powerful weapon early on.
To be honest, the shovel weights 10 points so I usually only use it in the Den and in the Golgotha, then I just dump it somewhere, it's not really that important Edit: By the way, there is a timer on the quest, it's just a really big one - you need to spend 13 years in a game, but if you already destroyed that Oil Rig, then there is no limit. But who would spend 13 years in that desert and NOT destroy the rig at some point?
@@CaedoGenesis Yea, companions are good for that, but unfortunately I always dump charisma to 2 or 1 because I don't really like travelling with companions, maybe I should start a run where I will get 10 charisma and give all companions a chance to shine
There is another way of getting through the temple of trials and obtaining a rare find. Make sure to tag Steal and then tag Melee/Unarmed after the opening cutscene go through the temple like normal until the final opponent instead of fighting hime. Try stealing from him if successful you’ll be able to get the rare Temple key and keep all of your finding in the temple.
some fun things that i didnt have idea! like nukacola, locking doors and the bonus armor with left points (i awalys moved away from melee enemies so they need to get close again wasting their points. in fact this game has a time limit, I believe you have something like 30 years? in game time to finish it before the times run out. If you spend many years exploring and killing enemies in the waste like i did, a nuclear bomb falls and the game ends with a game over screen... (I believe it happens when you get 40 ~ 49 years old, I started with 16 years as I remember) sorry for bad english by the way.
The combat highlights only work for me with a combat targeting icon. Not anytime I'm in combat mode w any other cursor. I have it emulated along w sfall and high res.
The only thing i don't really like about the classics is how punishing the save system is. If you don't save at every few minutes and die, well its not gonna get fun, especially when you do something like triggering an alarm in a place and you save after and that makes the mission basically impossible and. You might even have to start a new game.
There is *ABSOLUTELY NO NEED* to tag either melee or unarmed to get through the Temple of Trials, and frankly the build is a complete combat *LOAD* later on. *ALL* you need do to succeed at the Temple of Trials is have 9 action points ... which you should have anyway if you're at all built for combat. You sneak up to whatever creature you want to attack ... they'll notice you ONLY when they're close enough to reach you, but not close enough to actually attack. Then you kick twice on turn one and sneak away on turn two. To do this, you move away with 8 action points (with Sneak ON) and then end combat with your ninth AP. This can be done over and over all the way through Klamath, right up until you get the 10mm pistol.
Tag steal, and put points in it frequently and you never have to pay for anything ever again. Vendors won't have their stock in their inventory but they will have the money you pay them. Buy something, save, and pickpocket your money back (and then some).
Some of the vendors have shelves or tables. Using steal on those shelves/tables while not seen(mostly when they are not looking at you) give you access to their stock and you can take without steal check
Start with a high stealing Skill. At first go to NCR to steal the Bozar. Then head West to San Francisco and start the Enclave Quest at the Brotherhood. When youre at the Enclave Base, take the Powerarmor in the Locker. When you have finished these and bring back the Plans to the Brotherhood, you can start the Main Game with the best Equiptment and a pretty good start Level.
This is fun the second time you're playing the game. But when you know it inside out, it becomes much more interesting to see if you can level up and acquire gear without resorting to hacks. :-)
I learned nothing new - still, fun to watch. I gained 200 experience points. While playing a vanilla but patched FO2 is a good way to get a grip on how things were like, Restoration Project is the fun mod to play. At some point I stopped playing vanilla - it was either RP, Nevada or 1.5 Resurrection.
Honestly the only reason I was so stuck on temple of trials is because I didn't know how to open the doors due to not knowing that the f1 help key existed for the longest time
I know it is an old video, and I apologize if I do not speak English well, but I would like to know why the arms merchant of the ncr (buzz, the little man who is in a tent in the bazaar) attacks me because he wants(I din't steal from him or get a bad ncr reputation).
I HAVE to pickpocket every single person in town before I start any of the quests. I simply can't help myself. I built up an enormous stockpile of weapons and other loot and I keep it all organized in the lockers in the New Reno boxing gym. Nice central location that is easy to access (especially with the fully suped up Highwayman) and virtually unlimited storage space. Took a load of loot to San Francisco recently and traded it for power armor for me and Cassidy
Maybe a few years to late but... If you enter combat mode before you enter a building where the kids stand they wont steal as soon you enter disengage combat mode..
You can totally avoid pickpocketing in the Den. Just walk close to the kid to trigger the animation then *immediately* run away. Kid's stealing will fail and it won't try again until you reload the map.
So much information on the web where i don't recall which one has a oasis i think that radiate you to the point your Stat special change for the better. Which one is it? Which fallout game and what is the place called? Thank you.
@@CaedoGenesis well it was a primitive game version I recall where you are dying of radiation where you get paused to travel showing your stats go very bad and eventually it improves and remain. Fallout one did that while taking heavy radiation from volt 15 traveling back, but I think it wasn’t the first game.
@@CaedoGenesis well when I mean improvement I mean like +2 strength and endurance perhaps perception and agility. By one or two. It was very memorable but you don’t find it at all now. Fallout 3 first person view no? They need to fix that game. It keeps shutting down on today computers or mine anyway.
@@shadowlesswalls The Glow has heavy radiation in Fallout 1, but what you're describing sounds like an exploit of using chems and getting heavily irradiated or something. I know there was also an exploit with the Jet Cure in Fallout 2, that if used multiple times it would make some attribute bonuses permanent.
@@CaedoGenesis nah it was part of the game. Unless you mean exploit from game designers so they have a easier time but open for anyone to do. No glow in fallout 2? Perhaps it’s 1 then. Just odd I can’t find it anymore . I hope it’s on 2 since charisma is important now and in need of a stat boost.
2 - Taking unarmed/melee is quite questionable if not planning to focus on melee build in general. Tutorial is easy cuz you can just run away from enemies or correctly position yourself at the end of turn to take no damage. 3 - I remember failing the game cuz "Village is dead" after some time has passed. Maybe it was implemented with some pachches... Also, there is a 13 years time limit anyway. 5 - It's not about weight, but size. Perception is not involved either. Many other factors matter. 10 - You can use super stimpaks and planted explosives to avoid getting Childkiller perk.
Pro tip for the most advanced players: Go straight to San Francisco, and then Navarro, to have almost the best version of powered armor at the beginning of the game.
A week ago i got my hands on FO2 again after so much time i wanted t play it again, anyhow, i ran the trial and it felt easy. i remember time ago it was harder, i think the enemies were more aggressive. Also the geckos in the start (dog quest) it was like they didnt even pay attention to me. BTW, as i launched the game i kept the game in normal difficulty. Im sure we used to play normal before but felt different. Any thoughts ? Thanks for the video man ! It was really helpfull, it gave me ideas to play!
i just started playing fallout 2, and i'm strugling to know how barter works. like... i have some junk to sell, but when i sell it to the person, there's the value of the loot, i click "offer" they say "it's a fair trade" but them i receive 0 money! like, what the hell? i also would like some tips on how to level up...
Money isn't automatically added since it's a barter system. If they have it you can add gold from their inventory to the trade just like an item, but sometimes they're just broke and you'll need to trade items for items. Quests and low risk encounters will help you level up. Using active skills like lockpick, doctor, science, etc...can give you a little experience too when successfullly used.
@@CaedoGenesis oh i see! now that makes perfect sense! thank you, i would ended up with a very bad experience if i didn't knew that! i guess i was too much used to conventional sell/buy from ordinary RPGs sistems.
here is my tip: NEVER accept converting into an esclavist. the pay it's meh, but you will lose a lot of dialogue options and some NPC's are going to attack you (Sulik it's one of them)
Hey all! Listen, I remember there being a super cool bug where when you discovered this little area, if you dumped some stuff on the ground, it would always be there when you came back. So we dumped ammo and money and it would replenish when we left that area and then came back in. Does anybody remember that, which game it was in and/or sort of where it was?
Yeah, I'm struggling in fallout 2, I know it's gonna be great once I comfortably get outta klamath but I'm not super used to it despite beating fallout 1
*ALSO...!* ...something I found out was that there's a difference in "Barter" and "Trade" when talking to your companions. If you "Barter" then you exchange with something of equal value. If you "Trade" then you can exchange items between each other as long as you don't go over weight. Value has nothing to do with it. This comes in handy when you have no more room for loot and you have a companion(s) with you. You can give them the loot (even if it shows you giving them a "$" amount with you getting nothing in return), and when you go back to town you *"Trade"* with them and you can get the loot they were carrying without giving him/them any "$$$" in return.
Start a new character as a female named Buffy then go talk to Sally in the Den. Free metal armor, plasma grenade, 10mm smg and a few other things. Makes the beginning levels easier.
@@Stars-Sapphire For some reason you are placed in-between the caravan and the remnant of the Master's army or Enclave patrol. Mostly the danger is in traveling by caravan to San Francisco, Broken Hills or NCR. But early on you will be killed even by highwaymen or bandits if you are placed right in front of them.

*MOAR TIPS:*
- Can't unlock a (foot)locker or the lock is jammed - use crawbar
- Using several Super stimpacks on NPCs and waiting a few hour may cause them to die, without being treated as kill from you - since Super stimpack restore hell of HP, but in time it takes HP and this effect stacks
- Some companios have high active skill like Vic - reapair, Myron/Skynet - science, Lenny - doctor
- Some of the vendors have shelves or tables. Using steal on those shelves/tables while not seen(mostly when they are not looking at you) give you access to their stock and you can take without steal check
- The kid in the can pickpocket you in return you can pickpocket them(or loot their corpses after using Super stimpacks on them)
Just as a caviat doctor skills have some checks that companions won't be able to help you with. Mainly the vault city jet adiction plotline. You can bring Myron and he will interact with the Vault City Dr but only after you spoke with him with a skill higher than 75
Really can't believe you made a tips for this game ! It's such an old game!
Recently bought it and was clueless but this really help!
Man the best Fallout by far. Such a glorious RPG with plenty to do, explore and interact with. Oh and that mini-gun... that mini-gun
you mean the laser gatling :D
The children stealing in the den... They only steal from you. Not your companions; so just enter combat and run in the building, then end combat. Due to the turn based aspect, the kids can't do anything.
Another tip... If you are struggling for money, get the gambling skill up to 125%. Go to any casino (NOT THE DEN) and play roulette. Hold down the number button corresponding to the $50 option, walk away and come back 10 -20 mins you will have a decent amount of money.
I think placing a $100 proposition bet for 6 & 6 at the den is more profitable since it pays out 30x what you put in i.e. $3,000. Sometimes it takes save scumming but $3k is nothing to scoff at. Thanks for the tip about entering combat with the kids to avoid having them steal anything!
@@nickoliekeyov746 do you know how to properly boost your companions stats??
I saw a Fallout 1 playthrough where the dude did the same in Junktown with 40% gambling skill, he got 130 000 caps in mere seconds betting the 5caps in very freaking quick succession. Not sure if you need to create a macro to be able to bet as fast as the guy did, but the dude knew the game by heart, that's for sure. It was awesome.
@@gvl1260 in Fallout 1 just holding down a key spams it as fast as possible so he was probably just holding the 1 key. You can do the same thing with holding multiple keys at the same time.
here is a tip. Drugs work on NPCs and so you can exploit aftereffects to your advantage. Before a fight pump the enemy with two doses of Jet and wait 5 minutes to lower a bunch of stats. Also works on checks like Arm-wrestling with Francis. Most importantly you can pump the Masticator full of drugs, wait for aftereffects to kick in and win the Boxing match much easier.
Dru
Drugs also makes your companions OP.. any companion who lvl up with the after effect of drugs.. get news statistics.. after the after effect of drugs companions gains additional stats
Don't forget leaving NPC's so wasted you can rob from them without them noticing.
@aaron wieland what are you talking about?
@@Zeon081 watch his latest video dude, we know what you have been doing
Very nice 👍! I knew about a quarter of these through experiments and reading tons of forums. I wish I would have seen this video first though, would've saved me a lot of headache.
Movement speed and pushing people aside were the biggest annoyances I was glad to find an answer to.
I was wondering what, if anything, happened to extra AP when you finish your move. That's good to know now as my play style was basically, I hit->I run away->enemy catches up with no AP to attack->I hit->(repeat until dead).
Unfortunately, I had to start my third game (hadn't retched the Den yet but I had a butt load of items already) because I misplaced the Fuel Converter for the Highwaymen and spent a whole day, real day, looking through all the lockers and vases and bookcases... Couldn't find it for crap, had to start new game.
Thanks for the video, no spoilers, I appreciate that.
I'm definitely going to be watching this again for the other tidbits.
I just got the game last night, and just about an hour ago I realized your extra AP goes to AC xD i feel proud of myself now lol. Thanks for the tips!
Bounty hunters? Ohhhh you mean free loot machines :3
This has helped me so much more. Now I don’t have to go and press inventory and waste 4 Action Points each time I need to heal or something during combat now I only have to use two so much better all these tips were helpful thank you
The unofficial F2 patch also includes more keyboard hotkeys to command your party. You can tell everyone to spread out, come to you, loot everything they see or put there weapons away.
My basic tip : READ THE MANUAL
I bought the game on steam and had no idea how to Rest or anything, until ifound the online manual and read up on things
Hey does the game run well on steam
the dead guy yea it runs pretty Alright
The manual is in the game folder
@@FlavioAntoniofull
I think I got confused because the Manual is a Web link that leads to an online Manual?
How do you rest?
I have tried many times to get into Fallout 2 and many times have I quit angrily. Thanks for the guide.
just started playing a week ago with restoration project and its so amazing! i already have 40 hours in
I also have tried playing it since I love fallout 3, new Vegas and 4 but it is a completely different game. Kinda hard making the change but I can tell this game is worth it
@@davidromero3449 Imagine how we felt going from this to Fallout 3 XD. It wasn't pretty...
with the open containers you can just use the steal skill to repopen without closeing and opening . some of the merchant's shelves have items for sale activate them for the merchant to show you what they have on that table or shelf. also with mira or davin you can juice them up on buffout so they can carry more and you can give them a set of power armor and make them slightly more usefull since with the + to str they can use better guns
I had no idea you could kick doors down, or about the armour class from spare action points, or locking doors! That’s a great one for big fights
Easy. Head south from Arroyo into San Francisco. Load/Save your way along the coast. Steal all the money/ammo/weapons you can, sell it back to the vendors, repeat the process and buy at least one, if not two Power Armors ;) ... then some ammo, weapons, stimpaks, books to boost your skills, lockpick!!! (electronic and normal), pliers and then head back to Klamath. Congratulations! Now, you're almost unstoppable!
@@MechaSegaNite I believe it does.
Where in San Francisco do they sell power armor I can only find mark 2 metal armor anywhere and I'm pretty far in the game
@@Gbosh3095 Lao Chou (shop with 2 tables, one quard and brahmins in the back) can have the Power Armor in the inventory. If he hasn't got one, go outside, spend 14 days (if I rememeber correctly) and come back. His inventory should be refreshed.
@@decode.666 thank you idk how I didn't check that building lol
@@Gbosh3095 No problem at all, brother! Enjoy your new Power Armor ;)
1 Also you can use superstimpacs to silently get rid of some npc's that have something you want (or just deserve that) :3
2 Remember to have at least one weapon that needs no ammo (just in case) and/or one more in eq if your luck i low so you won't end up with weapon broken/lost on the ground (or lost in dead enemy bod on the ground in worse scenario)
3 Save before every travel, espacialy in early game as some random centaurs or Deathclaws are going to be a pain if you weren'r prepared
4 you can use drugs (or afterefects) to lower your skills so you will learn more from books
5 NEVER stand between frindly NPC with any mahinegun and enemy... sometimes back can realy hurt

@@michealdelay1583 Congrats, you made it! I actually haven't done a playthrough of Fallout 2 yet on the channel. I don't want to make any promises either, but know that I think about it often!
@@CaedoGenesis Helpful tips if you want to play with companions.. all companions gains level up called "stages" ranging from 3 to 6 stages... lenny has 3 stages.. cassidy,cyberdog and k-9 has 4 stages.. marcus and skynet has 5 stages.. sulik,vic,goris and dogmeat has 6 stages.. " i dont have info of party txt of cat,katsune and dex" Advancing the first stage is RANDOM and has a minimum level requirments a player has to reach. vic@lvl 5 or above... sulik,myron and dogmeat @level 6 or above... cyberdog@level 9 or above .. cassidy,lenny,goris and skynet@ level10 or above.. marcus and k-9 @level 12 or above " i dont have info of party txt of cat,katsune and dex".. to advance to the next stages up to the last is NOT RANDOM but requires a player to gain level up a numbers of times and varies for each companions: sulik,marcus and dogmeat requires 3 level up to advance stages beyond the first up to the last..vic, cassidy,cyberdog,goris,myron,k9- and skynet requires 4 level to advances stages beyond the first.. lenny requires 5 levelup to advance... to make them OP and very USEFUL all you needs are CHEMS and usable items.... companions suffers normal after effect of CHEMS such as losing str,per and APs from jets losing str,agi and endurance from buffout, losing int,perception and charisma..but also gain the withdrawal effect.. advancing to stages cancel out the after effect of the chems and reset there SPECIAL APs and skills accordingly to there stages but dont cancel the gains of the withdrawal effects of chems,, there recives a significant boost until the next stage if ever.... just remember not to used jet and buffout to cassidy alcoholic drinks can be a subtitute... commanding and them to live the party will "NOT" let them gain any "level up" when you level...franking myron to live for the purpose of area info does not count... lenny has the ability to heal you and the whole party through dialogue option, he will lost this ability if you ask him to leave the party... there are situation when the companion gonna ask permission to leave the party but they still gains a level up as normal as though as they are in the party...

Love this videos caedo, you helped me through my second FO1 playtrough and now you do the same for FO2
Found your channel because you helped me on a reddit post.
Sweet, there where some things i did not know!
A reminder about tip number 4; if you use 'steal' on an already opened(=already searched) container, you can look inside again without having to close and open it.
This put a smile on my face
Might play it again
You should.
One cheesy way to destroy the slavers guild early on:
Start Lara’s raid and run to the guild instead of attacking Tyler’s gang
Agro the slavers and just hide
Lara’s guys will kill at least half of the slavers attacking you
Run and pick one of the dead slavers weapons and that’s it, you can now fight them on your own
May require saving and loading but the gang is guaranteed to take out at least two or three slavers for you
Dear god, I had no idea charisma affected party size. I love you.
Did not know unused AP spent on armor class. Thanks 👍
Still, wish there was a Fallout 3 of a Fallout 2.
Meaning another turn based modern Fallout game.
While not being turn based, Fallout New Vegas feels like Fallout 3 of Fallout 2.
I just played Atom: RPG. Can confirm it is exactly what you wanted.
You're thinking of van buren
Fantastic list of tips! I'm currently making my way through fallout 2 for the first time, after having played 1, 3, 4, and New Vegas several times (but not 76, never 76 :P ). Anyway, regarding #2 - others have suggested simply getting a hit in on enemies in the temple and then running away 3 or 4 blocks. They won't have enough AP to attack you at that distance, and using a tag for those skills when you don't want a melee character in the long run is a lot to ask for.
Wow... I didn't knew the nuca cola trick ! )
Dont worry about tagging unarmed or melee for the temple. Just steal the key from the tribesman
Literally this^^^ man talk about some horrible advice. Or you can just exploit the combat system by kiting the enemies. Hit an ant and walk at least 3 hexes away and they won't be able to attack. Rinse and repeat. I've killed every enemy in the Temple of Trials with a non-combat build.
If people don't have weapons in their hands you can steal the weapons with high enough steal skill (or save spamming). If you see an empty handed guard you might get a powerful weapon early on.
To be honest, the shovel weights 10 points so I usually only use it in the Den and in the Golgotha, then I just dump it somewhere, it's not really that important
Edit: By the way, there is a timer on the quest, it's just a really big one - you need to spend 13 years in a game, but if you already destroyed that Oil Rig, then there is no limit. But who would spend 13 years in that desert and NOT destroy the rig at some point?
IamCookiePie actually there’s a talking plant if you have a shovel he’ll ask you to move him you get 1000 xp for that in broken hills
Sulik's my designated shovel carrier when it's not in use
@@CaedoGenesis Yea, companions are good for that, but unfortunately I always dump charisma to 2 or 1 because I don't really like travelling with companions, maybe I should start a run where I will get 10 charisma and give all companions a chance to shine
@@theburningone354 1k XP and possible 10% boost to doctor skill
TatodziadekPL plus the plant tells you how to beat the scorpion at chess which gives you a little xp too I think
02 - no you don't need unarmed/melee. You can either run past the ants or jsut fight them even with low Endurance and without tagged melee/unarmed
There is another way of getting through the temple of trials and obtaining a rare find.
Make sure to tag Steal and then tag Melee/Unarmed after the opening cutscene go through the temple like normal until the final opponent instead of fighting hime. Try stealing from him if successful you’ll be able to get the rare Temple key and keep all of your finding in the temple.
I didn't know you can bash open doors...
very helpful
dont ever forget the rubber boots... that "perk" can lock you from doing few things.
What
Smitty from the den can upgrade weapon: cattleprod,dessert eagle, magnum, hunting riffle..
Child killer is actually a serious buff the weapons and ammo off the bounty hunters saves you a fortune
About opened containers - you can use Steal to them, to not deal with animations another two times.
Started playing fallout 2 on my mobile. Thanks for the tips
What are you referring to a phone?
@@JW-oe1lf yes
some fun things that i didnt have idea! like nukacola, locking doors and the bonus armor with left points (i awalys moved away from melee enemies so they need to get close again wasting their points.
in fact this game has a time limit, I believe you have something like 30 years? in game time to finish it before the times run out. If you spend many years exploring and killing enemies in the waste like i did, a nuclear bomb falls and the game ends with a game over screen... (I believe it happens when you get 40 ~ 49 years old, I started with 16 years as I remember) sorry for bad english by the way.
I think the time limit is 13 in-game years, and after that only thing that happens is traders, who will stop selling ammo
The combat highlights only work for me with a combat targeting icon. Not anytime I'm in combat mode w any other cursor. I have it emulated along w sfall and high res.
The only thing i don't really like about the classics is how punishing the save system is. If you don't save at every few minutes and die, well its not gonna get fun, especially when you do something like triggering an alarm in a place and you save after and that makes the mission basically impossible and. You might even have to start a new game.
There is *ABSOLUTELY NO NEED* to tag either melee or unarmed to get through the Temple of Trials, and frankly the build is a complete combat *LOAD* later on. *ALL* you need do to succeed at the Temple of Trials is have 9 action points ... which you should have anyway if you're at all built for combat. You sneak up to whatever creature you want to attack ... they'll notice you ONLY when they're close enough to reach you, but not close enough to actually attack. Then you kick twice on turn one and sneak away on turn two. To do this, you move away with 8 action points (with Sneak ON) and then end combat with your ninth AP. This can be done over and over all the way through Klamath, right up until you get the 10mm pistol.
Pro tip, save! Save god damn it! Save as often as possible
One of the best videogames ever made. Top 5 for sure, possibly even top 3
Tag steal, and put points in it frequently and you never have to pay for anything ever again. Vendors won't have their stock in their inventory but they will have the money you pay them. Buy something, save, and pickpocket your money back (and then some).
Some of the vendors have shelves or tables. Using steal on those shelves/tables while not seen(mostly when they are not looking at you) give you access to their stock and you can take without steal check
Start with a high stealing Skill. At first go to NCR to steal the Bozar. Then head West to San Francisco and start the Enclave Quest at the Brotherhood. When youre at the Enclave Base, take the Powerarmor in the Locker. When you have finished these and bring back the Plans to the Brotherhood, you can start the Main Game with the best Equiptment and a pretty good start Level.
This is fun the second time you're playing the game. But when you know it inside out, it becomes much more interesting to see if you can level up and acquire gear without resorting to hacks. :-)
@@terjidjurhuus1917 What hack?
@@nzeusman8215 not hack as in cheating, but as in exploiting the openess of the game to make it easier to play.
@@terjidjurhuus1917 Yeah it's pretty lame i agree.
I learned nothing new - still, fun to watch. I gained 200 experience points.
While playing a vanilla but patched FO2 is a good way to get a grip on how things were like, Restoration Project is the fun mod to play. At some point I stopped playing vanilla - it was either RP, Nevada or 1.5 Resurrection.
Wish I had this whenever I was playing Fallout 2 back in the day
Honestly the only reason I was so stuck on temple of trials is because I didn't know how to open the doors due to not knowing that the f1 help key existed for the longest time
Took me 3 hours of FO1 play to know about the combat speed so yes, good repeat.
E: YOU CAN KICK DOWN DOORS WHAT?!
it's better to use dynamite. i have over 200 hours in fallout 2 and never managed to kick down a door
I didn't know either
you can also use crowbar on some doors like using stimpaks on companions
I know it is an old video, and I apologize if I do not speak English well, but I would like to know why the arms merchant of the ncr (buzz, the little man who is in a tent in the bazaar) attacks me because he wants(I din't steal from him or get a bad ncr reputation).
Don't walk near him at night or he'll think you're a thief, talk to him during the day
Hey question, is the style in the character creation ( changing the hair ) a mod or part of the vanilla game?
It’s the Restoration Mod.
I HAVE to pickpocket every single person in town before I start any of the quests. I simply can't help myself. I built up an enormous stockpile of weapons and other loot and I keep it all organized in the lockers in the New Reno boxing gym. Nice central location that is easy to access (especially with the fully suped up Highwayman) and virtually unlimited storage space. Took a load of loot to San Francisco recently and traded it for power armor for me and Cassidy
is it really unlimited storage ?
Maybe a few years to late but... If you enter combat mode before you enter a building where the kids stand they wont steal as soon you enter disengage combat mode..
You can totally avoid pickpocketing in the Den.
Just walk close to the kid to trigger the animation then *immediately* run away. Kid's stealing will fail and it won't try again until you reload the map.
If the kids steal from you, just steal back from them - easiest way to handle it
Attack them and when they run away end combat they won't steal from you again

this must be the origin of the cow tipping mechanic used in fallout 3.
this is the best fallout game ever . new reno alone > every other fallout game .
So much information on the web where i don't recall which one has a oasis i think that radiate you to the point your Stat special change for the better. Which one is it? Which fallout game and what is the place called? Thank you.
Oasis is a location in Fallout 3, and how you help the Treeminders determines your perk-based bonus. Does that sound familiar?
@@CaedoGenesis well it was a primitive game version I recall where you are dying of radiation where you get paused to travel showing your stats go very bad and eventually it improves and remain. Fallout one did that while taking heavy radiation from volt 15 traveling back, but I think it wasn’t the first game.
@@CaedoGenesis well when I mean improvement I mean like +2 strength and endurance perhaps perception and agility. By one or two. It was very memorable but you don’t find it at all now. Fallout 3 first person view no? They need to fix that game. It keeps shutting down on today computers or mine anyway.
@@shadowlesswalls The Glow has heavy radiation in Fallout 1, but what you're describing sounds like an exploit of using chems and getting heavily irradiated or something. I know there was also an exploit with the Jet Cure in Fallout 2, that if used multiple times it would make some attribute bonuses permanent.
@@CaedoGenesis nah it was part of the game. Unless you mean exploit from game designers so they have a easier time but open for anyone to do. No glow in fallout 2? Perhaps it’s 1 then. Just odd I can’t find it anymore . I hope it’s on 2 since charisma is important now and in need of a stat boost.
Wasting a TAG skill jsut to run through the temple? Are you kidding me? You can literally RUN through without any figting.
Any type of player can pass the temple, just don't make a intelligent character if u don't are.
2 - Taking unarmed/melee is quite questionable if not planning to focus on melee build in general. Tutorial is easy cuz you can just run away from enemies or correctly position yourself at the end of turn to take no damage.
3 - I remember failing the game cuz "Village is dead" after some time has passed. Maybe it was implemented with some pachches... Also, there is a 13 years time limit anyway.
5 - It's not about weight, but size. Perception is not involved either. Many other factors matter.
10 - You can use super stimpaks and planted explosives to avoid getting Childkiller perk.
Locking the doors, great idea next time I gonna free Vic early :)
wow i did not know there was so many small stuff in this game
Pro tip for the most advanced players: Go straight to San Francisco, and then Navarro, to have almost the best version of powered armor at the beginning of the game.
yo uh do you know how to get your stuff back after you complete the trials of arroyo? i cant seem to find the trunk the other guy talks about
A week ago i got my hands on FO2 again after so much time i wanted t play it again, anyhow, i ran the trial and it felt easy. i remember time ago it was harder, i think the enemies were more aggressive. Also the geckos in the start (dog quest) it was like they didnt even pay attention to me. BTW, as i launched the game i kept the game in normal difficulty. Im sure we used to play normal before but felt different. Any thoughts ?
Thanks for the video man ! It was really helpfull, it gave me ideas to play!
Also, always use First Aid in the beginning when possible and needed.
Hardest game I've ever played you really need to plan out everything and just know what you're doing lol
Oh yeah I happened to be a slaver my 1st playthrough which is currently I might give up and redo everything
Big tip: rush to navarro and get the best armor and a plasma rifle.
And its FREEEE
how? I'm new in the game
Thank you
Hey Caedo, any chance of a fallout 2 unique weapons guide?
i just started playing fallout 2, and i'm strugling to know how barter works. like... i have some junk to sell, but when i sell it to the person, there's the value of the loot, i click "offer" they say "it's a fair trade" but them i receive 0 money! like, what the hell? i also would like some tips on how to level up...
Money isn't automatically added since it's a barter system. If they have it you can add gold from their inventory to the trade just like an item, but sometimes they're just broke and you'll need to trade items for items.
Quests and low risk encounters will help you level up. Using active skills like lockpick, doctor, science, etc...can give you a little experience too when successfullly used.
@@CaedoGenesis oh i see! now that makes perfect sense! thank you, i would ended up with a very bad experience if i didn't knew that! i guess i was too much used to conventional sell/buy from ordinary RPGs sistems.
here is my tip: NEVER accept converting into an esclavist.
the pay it's meh, but you will lose a lot of dialogue options and some NPC's are going to attack you (Sulik it's one of them)
In Fallout 1, you cannot scroll through the inventory menu or trading windows.
In Fallout 2 you can.
Don't ask me how long it took to figure that out.
1. Recruit Sulik
2. Give Sulik an SMG
3. Enjoy
Not really... 😂
Mega Power fist and enjoy the show 😁
Hey all! Listen, I remember there being a super cool bug where when you discovered this little area, if you dumped some stuff on the ground, it would always be there when you came back. So we dumped ammo and money and it would replenish when we left that area and then came back in. Does anybody remember that, which game it was in and/or sort of where it was?
Before you travel save it helps and don’t save in the middle of a fight it will keep you in a death loop
The tip I really need is how do I make this game run properly?
Yeah, I'm struggling in fallout 2, I know it's gonna be great once I comfortably get outta klamath but I'm not super used to it despite beating fallout 1
I even got the paper back strat guide
*ALSO...!* ...something I found out was that there's a difference in "Barter" and "Trade" when talking to your companions.
If you "Barter" then you exchange with something of equal value.
If you "Trade" then you can exchange items between each other as long as you don't go over weight. Value has nothing to do with it.
This comes in handy when you have no more room for loot and you have a companion(s) with you.
You can give them the loot (even if it shows you giving them a "$" amount with you getting nothing in return), and when you go back to town you *"Trade"* with them and you can get the loot they were carrying without giving him/them any "$$$" in return.
Start a new character as a female named Buffy then go talk to Sally in the Den. Free metal armor, plasma grenade, 10mm smg and a few other things. Makes the beginning levels easier.
Caravan travel is something to DEFINETLY avoid early on.
@@Stars-Sapphire For some reason you are placed in-between the caravan and the remnant of the Master's army or Enclave patrol. Mostly the danger is in traveling by caravan to San Francisco, Broken Hills or NCR. But early on you will be killed even by highwaymen or bandits if you are placed right in front of them.
One overpower tip. You can steal Bozar from guards in NCR. It is the best gun in the game and give it to Markus he will do 999DM 😂
There is and unofficial pack where you can give power armors for companions 😋
This just will make you wants to play game again 😂
