Your Fallout (1&2) Characters.

Need some cash? hang around on trade routes, and pick up goodies from people that pass by. My car trunk is now full of that crap. Assault Rifles, 10mm pistols, crowbars .

I let Vic have a FN FAL night scope rifle. The guy is such a loser. He became quite a liability lately..

Dogmeat. I try not to take him ( you can have him in FO2 too! ), so I he wouldn't get killed.

no no no. you misunderstand. i had plenty of ITEMS. but there wasn't enough people around who had enough money to BUY them. The combat implants guy wants cold cash. and a whole hell of a lot of it.

I always went to san fran periodically, those two guys usually had some cash

I played Fallout 2 first. I have never played a RPG game before (and I don't play them now either) but the game kicked me off the chair.. actually, glued me to the chair would be a better word

I played with the default character, big dumb guy named... I forgot, something with N or B. He was strong, but not very smart. I remember my talking ability after taking some drug deteriorated so I could only say 'humbrhummsmpfff' and stuff like that

Of the character traits I remember Agility the most. Man, with the perks you could build it up to 12 (or more?) if you started out with max.

You know what 12 means, right? Two weapons on burst mode!

Extraordinary.

Afterwards I played Fallout 1. Not bad, but not as impressive.

I would like to se Fallout 3 ofcourse. I admire people who can play 1 or 2 all over again, I can't do that, although I probably havent explored half of the game options.

I always gravitate towards sniper characters.

2 key differences. In fallout one I went for energy weapons

but in fallout 2 as soon as I got the gauze rifle I stayed with small arms. use that puppy against the eyes for some good results.

I'm in a fallout 2 game right now and I'm determined to specialize in heavy weapons and unarmed.

[Az]

I am now in the enclave. Holy ****.

this game really makes you think about morals and stuff like that. great plot.

My favorite Fallout II character was the guy with an intelligence of 1. He couldn't communicate with anybody, other than Torg. It made the game pretty difficult, seeing as how I couldn't trade with anybody, or have any other members in my party, or talk to anybody, etc.

I also liked my guy with Luck 1. People would occasionally explode around me, since bad luck is catching.

[Felch]

I've never tried having any of my stats at one. Sounds like a neat idea.

I don't remember the very first character, but I think he was a smart guy. I always tend to pick characters with high intelligence, and large arms skills. As a response to the sniper char above... I usually like large weapons. First I use the SMG, but as soon as I get to the NCR, I usually steal a bazaar from one of the guards, and after that it all goes very well.

Also, I remember the very first game I played of Fallout 2... I was so pissed off that my village was destroyed, that when I came to Navarro, I killed everybody there. It took me about a week real-world time, and countless years game time (going in, bazaar a-blazing, then coming out to sleep and heal for a couple of weeks ), but every single person in the underground, as well as the verti-base was destroyed. After that, I had a virtually endless supply or guns, ammo, armour and everything one might ever wish for. When I cam to San Fran after that, I could buy out everything, by just going back to the now empty Navarro, and load my car full of stuff, and then bartering it in at the SF shops.

Yep, I had that problem once or twice, too. I just wished I could melt over some of my junk and make limited edition commemorative coins out of it.

I never managed to get the car in like four or five times playing. But that's just because I'm too sloppy in playing.

[vovan]

I like the car, as that allows you to carry tons of junk. Though I do usually manage to fill up the trunk any way...

Also, this thread got me thinking about Fallout again. So, I dug the CD out and installed it. Now, on the jewel case it says you can even marry someone in the game. I was wondering has anyone ever done that? 'Cause I haven't. I guess that's because I usually choose male characters and there aren't many girls in the game. But any way, how would one go about that?

[Felch]

It's in one of the early towns. I think the one with the Ghost Farm. Moddock or something. You have to talk to the son or daughter of the guy who hires you to kill the wolves. IIRC.

I tried it, but ended up getting in a fight with her father instead.

[ColdWizard]

I don't recall where, but a guy has both a son and a daughter that your character can marry. I remember having a female character marry the daughter

[vovan]

Aha. Curious. But I figured I'd replay Fallout 1 first, as I have never finished it yet. I have spent all this time playing Fallout 2.

[ColdWizard]

I never beat 1, played it intensely for maybe a week and then tried 2 and never went back to 1
