THE BORE

I picked up the Collection and Burnout Paradise when I traded in my GTA standard edition (kept the LE). Now I know very little about it other than it's awesome and an RPG. So I want to know...
- Can I choose a class and what class should/shouldn't I choose?
- Any other general tips/info
- How long are 1 & 2? I read somewhere you can finish 2 in 26 minutes
- Is it dangerous going to No Mutants Allowed? I've heard that site is a cesspool, but I may want to read some stuff on this game. Is Duck and Cover better?
edit: awesome topic for my 1000th post :-*
-
Awesome series but Fallout 2 is the complete package
-I end up customizing my characters innate traits and abilities. I guess its cool to choose from a predefined class if you don't want to deal with choosing skills that don't go together.
- This game is unforgiving, don't go places you shouldn't go
- Fallout 2 allows you to get some endgame gear within the first 10 minutes of the game, which allows you to kill the endgame boss quickly. Its cool to do after you've seen everything there is to the game.
- Never been there
-
So I can make my own class or choose from pre-set ones? I like making my own classes like the smart talking rogue I had in oblivion.
-
Making your own class just involves putting points into various things like the main abilities like Charisma, Strength, Agility etc and then putting a set amount of points into Skill like being able to wield Small Weapons, Plasma Weapons, or into Lockpicking, Skill with Computers etc. Theres also perks that you can put into at first or grab throughout the game (via level ups)
Endless combinations
-
I love that stuff.
:bow Lockpicking :bow2
-
I need to play these games before 3 comes out. :P
-
A time limit in 1? Damn that sucks. And I was thinking about playing it before the new one hit
-
When it is coming out, anyway?
-
Somewhere in fall I guess. PS3 EXCLUSIVE, BERIEVE
-
Not after how well Bioshock did!

Yes --> use Microsoft's Virtual PC.
Install Win98 under it and run Fallout 1&2 windowed.
I guess the same method would be needed to run it in Vista, right?

You can check who's ignoring you.
BTW, totally unrelated, but I just saw The Deer Hunter for the first time recently. Powerful stuff. I just wanted to let you know, what with your avatar. :P

Yeah, Walken and De Niro were incredible.

Never played Oblivion (or any Bethesda game).
-
Well, if Fallout 3 is anything like Oblivion, stay away.

What's wrong with Oblivion?

I was reading what you wrote Borys :P
I've got it running windowed with D3DWindow. I just had a random battle with 3 scorpion type things and I died :(
-
yes they fuckowned me hard :'(
i lost 20 minutes of fighting rats
-
I have played Fallout 2 like a zillion times. I have it for OSX if any EBers are interested
-
no problem running either Fallout 1 or 2 on Vista straight away
-
I know people care for these games but I've found them to be the epitomy of boredom. Perhaps it's due to the fact that I tried to play them years after they were released and they didn't age well.

i think it's quiet the opposite, i think it's aged very well. unless you're a graphics whore but i dont care about that

Google "Fallout Windowed".
I can't since Google IP banned my work subnet :(
Ok switched to Wi-Fi, to external internet and here's what I found.
YOU CANNOT RUN F1&F2 Windowed without any 3rd party apps.
Try this, people say it works with F1&F2 and some other old Windows games:
