The Fallout2 High Resolution Patch by Mash is a major leap from the now defunct and very buggy high resolution patch of old (who was that by? Links appreciated). It allows you to play F2 in higher resolutions, now with Sfall compatibility. Unfortunately you cannot use Sfall software scalers with. Oct 01, 2008  First gameplay video what I have made and I know that I suck in game =P. Trying to kill Death Claw with bad luck and doing some slave busines. Also got car. =S Edit: Seems like half of these.

When is Fallout 5 coming out? Following the reveal and subsequent release of the multiplayer spin-off Fallout 76, news and rumours about a proper Fallout 5 have been scarce. Bethesda are still supporting their online offering, but its lukewarm reception could well mean we don’t see a Fallout 5 release date for a long time.It has been a while since we witnessed the bombs drop and enjoyed our single-player sojourn through Fallout 4’s Boston, and it’s fair to say that few were left satisfied by Bethesda’s foray into multiplayer with Fallout 76, which was devoid of human NPCs, traditional questing, and basically all the things we’ve come to love about the series. Naturally then, we’re already itching to play Fallout 5 – unless that’s that pesky Radroach bite. No, we’re pretty sure it’s excitement.Numbered releases in the Fallout series can be half a decade apart, so we could be waiting a long time before we can pick at the remains of a new Fallout location. So, for the moment, we’ll have to be satisfied with rumours and hearsay: there is little in terms of Fallout 5 news. We’ve compiled all the Fallout 5 information that’s currently out there below, along with our Fallout 5 wishlist.

Fallout 5 release dateWe have waited as long as a decade between entries to our favourite post-apocalyptic series in the past, but since Fallout 76 was announced two years on from Fallout 4 – the same gap between Fallout 3 and New Vegas – it looks likely that we will be waiting a long time for Fallout 5. In fact, it’s more likely that we get a, first.Still, if the wait Fallout 5 is the same as the gap between Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, then the Fallout 5 release date is sometime in Fall 2022. For the sake of our sanity, we certainly hope that’s not the case. Fallout 5 newsFallout 5 news is thin on the ground, but we do know that Bethesda thinks carefully about adding multiplayer to each of its major releases. Speaking to in 2015, series director Todd Howard said: “Believe it or not, every time we do a game we design a multiplayer mode just to see what we could do.” Fallout was a purely single-player series before the release of Fallout 76, and that didn’t exactly go down well with fans, so expect Fallout 5 to feature a lot more single-player content than 76 when it does eventually release.Fallout 76 also disappointed from a technical standpoint, clearly using a heavily modded version of the Creation engine. So, could a new engine be in the works of Fallout 5? A indicates that the company are looking for an engine programmer to “develop cutting edge technologies.”In February 2019, however, a mysterious placeholder image surfaced that plenty of fans wondered could be a new Fallout game.

While it could equally refer to a – which we would happily take, if Bethesda are offering – we can always live in hope.Fallout 5 single playerIt looks like fans can relax about every upcoming Bethesda game being online-focused. In an interview with German games site, Todd Howard was asked if all future Bethesda games would incorporate multiplayer and responded: “For those games, we want to keep them as single player. That is what our focus is going to be.”While Howard goes on to say that there may be some social features or integrations they have yet to come up with, it sounds as if Fallout 5’s focus will be on the single-play experience.Fallout 5 locationsPlenty of new Fallout 5 locations have been rumoured but we have no concrete evidence on the winner. We have picked the we would like to see already, but here are the most rumoured locations currently buzzing around the internet. New OrleansEver since a trademark application for ‘’ was filed to the EU Intellectual Property Office in 2016, rumours of a Deep South addition to the series have been swirling.

We have visited swampy environments before in Fallout 3’s DLC, Point Lookout, and Far Harbor in Fallout 4, so take this rumour with a pinch of salt. ChicagoTrivia time: when have we visited Chicago in the Fallout series before? Ten of our most arbitrary points to you if you recalled the intro to Fallout: Tactics.

We may have only visited the home of Al Capone and deep dish pizza briefly, but there’s a chance that it could be a Fallout 5 location. In New Vegas, ED-E hints at Enclave outposts in Chicago, after all.AlaskaAnother rumoured destination that has appeared in the series already is Alaska.

But that was just before the bombs dropped in the Great War of 2077. Operation: Anchorage, the first Fallout 3 DLC pack, is named after the greatest battle in the series’ alternative universe: the liberation of Anchorage, Alaska from occupying Chinese troops.

In the DLC you travel back to 2076 via your Pip-Boy, but it would be great to trace the aftermath of this famous fight in Fallout 5. Outside AmericaA Fallout game has never been set outside the US, but could Fallout 5 be the first? Maybe we’ll be venturing into Chinese or Russian territory to allow us to see the world-consuming conflict from the perspective of America’s biggest Fallout foes?Equally, what about the European Commonwealth? Whether it is Berlin, Paris, or Rome, it is an enticing prospect to visit Europe after decades of struggles over resources and civil wars decimated the union. Fallout 5 gameplayDespite our positive, the game was not universally acclaimed. Few Fallout fans would count it as the pinnacle of the post-apocalyptic series, perhaps due to the reduced roleplaying mechanics and disappointing graphics. When it comes to Fallout 5 gameplay, RPG devotees are hoping for more.Without any specific details to work with, we can only speculate as to how Fallout 5 will play.

We expect to be exploring a rich, new, and desolate world, looting, and picking up quests that take us to other intriguing locales. Hopefully we get a deeper roleplaying system, where choices actually feel consequential. It would also be great to see expanded dialogue options; we’d definitely have that at the expense of a voiced protagonist, which was introduced in Fallout 4.Outta this world: Here’sConsidering the amazing creations that were made in the previous game, perhaps will return in the next Fallout game. Building bases added another wrinkle to scavenging as we kept our eyes peeled for two coffee cups to rub together to craft a posh new khazi.

Bringing back materials from quests to expand and bolster our bases proved a compelling gameplay loop. Here’s hoping we see expanded settlement options in Fallout 5, although you can have that right now by taking advantage of the and.Anything new in terms of Fallout 5 gameplay is anybody’s guess, but perhaps we will see a VR version of the game launched close to, or simultaneously with, the standard game. In Fallout 4’s case, we had to wait a little over two years from the main game’s release before we could strap The Commonwealth to our skulls.

Gameplay and story wise. Also Vault Dweller vs the Chosen One. Which did you think was a better character and why? I liked Fallout 1 for it's story and it's way that just kept me immersed in gameplay and kept me going for hourse, the gameplay wasn't perfect but if it were a bit longer through any means of mods.

It would definitely be worth it. I liked 2 for the gameplay though the story was longer, it just wasn't as kept up and as simple as Fallout's. The plot twists felt too predictable and the game seemed to black and white in my tastes. Though I did admire the humor of the game. Like seriously who didn't laugh their ass off when that midget fell down the well in Broken Hills.

Anyway and comparing the protagonists. The Vault dweller has his hardened powered armor and turbo plasma rifle. The Chosen one, his car, Gauss Rifle, and Advanced power armor MKII. I though South California while desolate was a bit more interesting to explore than NorCal. For Some reason I don't know why.

I guess cause I like Los Angeles better than San Fran. But what do you think was better? The majority of the threads made on this topic were around the early NMA era, when NMA was at its height. Basically what happened though is that, you can only talk about two games for so many years before you run out of things to say. Its like when two people have been married and doing the same damn thing for ten years eventually they run out of things to talk about.

Most of the members that were around back then you will find either in the Order, or have departed from this website a long time ago. I was a drifter around the 03-06 period (NMA's height/former glory) but I never really signed up partly probably because back then I was a teenager who didn't know half of what these guys knew, and Roshambo scared off any newbies ((a man who I wouldn't mind coming back to NMA today)).If you ever want to see what I'm talking about when I say the 'height of NMA's existence', just go back as far as the threads will let you (usually around 03 before the forum's switched and Miroslav left) and just read on from there. There were a lot of great conversations, arguments, and generally good times (that, back then happened on a daily basis.

Now if you post something you usually have to wait 6-12 hours to get a reply, and most NMA members don't have that charismatic personality that many of the OG's had. Yet I stick around.

Probably hoping Fallout 1/2 will gain popularity, get some OG Fallout players in here (that have half a brain, or at least half a personality. I'll take either one) and we can return NMA to its 'former glory'. Click to expand.Yes, FO2 is just largely overlooked as a source of more depths because of all the pop-culture references, and all of that spite just seems to bleed into everything else, whether it makes any sense or not. I've seen people say that New Reno is one of the 'worst offenders' in their eyes, with silly mobster families that 'didn't belong' in the Fallout universe, according to them, but they felt perfectly at home, to me.

What, Gizmo's fine as a seedy underworld 'businessman' who's really a terrible and ruthless crime lord, but crime FAMILIES are a no go? It's not even like they were all stereotypical Italian mafiosos, either, the only Italian one was the Salvatores (Mordinos were Mexican, Bishops and Wrights were. Something else) and even then they were as authentically Fallout as it comes. The model for the bouncers being just ridiculous and out of place I'll agree with were a stroke too far. Assassins vs pirates 2017. But the complaint that intact buildings didn't fit with the aesthetic of a destroyed world?

They made a pop culture reference that broke the fourth wall? At the beginning of FO1, a Pulp Fiction reference.

Everything FO2 gets criticized for, FO1 had too, just more of it, and in many parts, better versions of.I will agree that the overall aesthetic of FO2 just didn't feel the same as FO1, but how else could it? The further you move away from the apocalyptic Great War, the less of its looming shadow there is in which to stand.

FO2 offered some really great material, and in many ways I felt like FO1 served as a prototype for what was to come in FO2. FO1 had a more consistent tone, atmosphere, and setting, and its story was more concise so of course the narrative was more consistent, but it's not like this served as a damning indictment for FO2. FO2 made mistakes, but it's not like they made the game a total loss. FO2 offered far more complexity to its choices (I still can't get over how cartoonishly black and white Junktown was.

When I was 16 playing this game, it was cool, but looking back I really wish it was more complex and thought-provoking) and much deeper dimensions to its characters, like the companions as helios1 mentioned. It just did so much so well, but it gets crucified for not being exactly like FO1, which I think is just plain silly.

I kinda always thought the whole mobster thing was due to finding the clothes via scavenging or something like that. Plus I can kinda see the crime families being decedents of ones from the pre war era that happened to be able to get into the vaults.But yeah, I do agree that Fallout 1 had it's fair share of pop culture references. Not as many as 2 mind you, but the latter's didn't really bother me that much.Anyway, between Fallout 1 and 2, I feel the former had a tighter narrative and more of a post apocolyptic atmosphere to it like most people have said. However, I do like the feel of civilization beginning to get back on it's feet in 2.

I just feel it's a natural evolution from the first game. Not to mention I really like a lot of the overall improvements to the gameplay, like having better control over your companions. Not to mention there's a lot more to do.Overall, I think they're both equal in terms of quality. Click to expand.Also, the Tardis one wasn't in line with the ethos of still being fun if you didn't get the reference. Not knowing doctor who at the time, and still not interested today, that Tardis cameo felt meh.IMO, the writting of Fallout 2 is great overall, and has nothing to be ashamed compared to Fallout 1. Fallout is hands down my favorite across the whole series; but it's not perfect.

If I had to choose only one Fallout game and never install any others. I'd probably choose Fallout 2 because it's larger, has the fixes that Fallout needed, and in most ways is essentially Fallout's gameplay.Fallout 2 gameplay-wise is a bigger and better Fallout. I don't like the story as much, but in every other respect it's superior. With the exception of a couple of the talking heads, and that the additional (new) combat sprites looked plastic, and were not a good match for the original artwork.

They looked out of place. Click to expand.I wasn't saying the pop culture references were ever bad in FO1. Most of the time I didn't realize ANY of the pop culture references were pop culture references in EITHER game, unless I was aware of the material being referenced. Getting T Ray to explode by sleeping with him multiple times as a female Chosen One, specifically as a joke of his line 'Damn woman, I just gave you sweet loving five minutes ago. You trying to kill me?' Which was a reference to South Park, a show I was an ardent fan of at the time (and still am). The only reference that stood out was the man you found in the mine in Broken Hills, because unlike the Special Encounters, he was always there in 100% of all FO2 games, you didn't need a high Luck score to get him to spawn, he was always there, but clearly he was out-of-place in the world around him, and clearly his background as he described it was an inside joke.

I didn't realize that the Slayer perk was a reference to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I thought it was an homage to movies and shows like Conan and Hercules based on the Vault Boy image. I didn't realize that the bones outside Vault 13 were a reference to Pulp Fiction at the time I played the game, I just thought they were an apt showcase of the danger of the outside world (and it doubled as both). Pop culture references were never a bad thing, some people just couldn't stand them. Some of them were over-the-top, but that was just those particular ones. I for one loved them, overall, even if I could tell that they were referencing something in particular. I loved the rabbit that could instantly slaughter you in Shadow Warrior and I loved the similar references to Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail in FO2 equally as much. Tim Cain had a rule in place.

It said that if the player doesn't 'Get' the joke/reference. Then they should not notice that it IS one.He was worried that too many of those (or careless ones I suppose) could make the game dated.Another reference: Gizmo Tim says that he had a pet skunk named Gizmo. IMO the special encounters specifically, may or may not be hallucination. They all take place out in the middle of nowhere, and the PC has been traveling across the desert. Or the wasteland is just weird as hell in some places.

Hmmm, I always assumed that the 'visions' of Hakukin in FO2 were hallucinations brought on by whatever warped things he traumatized the Chosen One with during their upbringing, combined with their heat-stroke-induced delirium while traveling the wastes. Never thought to extend that logic to the Special Encounters, though. But the elephant in the room of assuming that they're hallucinations is that SOMEHOW the protagonist has not only had an episode, but they came out of it with this nifty new solar-powered lazer pistol- where the hell did that thing come from?

Wasteland, but it also fits the setting that the PC may have found something and hallucinated how, or doesn't know the truth of it.The alien ship says 'property of area 51', it could be delirium, it has a velvet Elvis painting; it could really BE a military prop, or even a staged encounter for the Press forgotten once the war broke out.

They did have ray guns made by the BOS in Fallout 2. Who knows really. The most obvious 4th-wall breakers are the Bridge of Death and the British Brahmin. But both of those and the whale could all be hallucination or not, or the bridge-keeper could be a complete nut like the car-salesman. Or the salesman might not exist, and the PC found the bb gun in the shack anyway. Remember all those encounters in the Shining? Might not be too different after two weeks in the desert.
