Playing a good character generally yields better rewards. An evil playthrough isn't about maximizing rewards. Besides, you can bee-line to Redding and pick up a wrench and tool for free. Yeah, the karma system is binary, I'm not fond of it either. It would be better if they had something like a...

Enjoy, playing evil is hilarious in Fallout 2. Just watch out for the bounty hunters and don't forget to dismember the mr. Nixon doll.

Random bandits, highwaymen etc. all give 5 positive karma. You might want to consider running away from such encounters. There are many fun quests as an evil character though. Although it takes some planning. Joining the slavers right away in the Den locks you out of several other quests where...

Yep, laser resistance is generally high for all armors except leather. It undermines the story in New Reno about the Salvatores somewhat and it's bad from a itemisation standpoint since sec&mfc ammo is more difficult to find than conventional munition. A light support weapon or even a bozar...

No, there are several (big) guns that look cool, but perform underwhelming and are swapped out as soon as you get your hands on something better. Like the flamer or the m60. Problem with the gatling laser is that it's a late game gun, and you already have a whole arsenal of weapons to choose...

So is the loot you get in Fallout 2. A single encounter with highwaymen or slavers on the way from the Den to Vault city gives you enough to buy all you need. Besides, all the good armor is found, not bought from merchants.

And it's a contender for worst quest too. Ascorti sells you the deed to the mine for $1000, yet the only person you can sell the deed back to (for $2500) is Ascorti. He could just ask you to clear the mine for $1500 caps. The whole selling and rebuying of the deed serves no purpose. They...

Yes, a few more came out with a story. Each one is adressed in the video. My personal favorite is the one that tweeted during a convention in Australia how no man would touch her because she's fat, how's she is going to get drunk and how she's going to hit on every man in the room. 8 years...

The unofficial patch is 'almost' vanilla. Killap took great care to keep the restoration project separate from the patch.

I dunno, sounds a bit too blackpilled to me. I've done similar things as those Chris is now accused of i.e. getting drunk with girls and try to sleep with them, with varying success. None of that has come back to bite me in the ass and none of those girls hold it against me, or worse, claim that...

Who could fathom things would turn out like this? That by doing complety normal things in 2012, like getting drunk with a girl (I don't buy in to the whole 'fed her drinks', it takes two to tango) and getting a little frisky (when she said no, he backed of like a, in her words, gentleman) you...

But he wasn't condemned for anything he said on twitter. He was accused by someone who changed her mind on stuff she was okay with 8 years ago, making it seem as if Chris almost raped her. To further strenghten her case, she insinuated Chris has a pattern of behaviour involving, and I'm...

San Francisco is notoriously buggy even compared to the rest of Fallout 2's locations. Do you at least have the unofficial patch installed? I recall having had similar bugs there. If you have a save before wiping out the Hubologists, load it up and try again. If you're lucky it is a random...

Someone took the time and effort to make a summary of whom accused Chris, of what they've actually accused him, and provides background on their relationship with Chris. Interesting watch:

Try not to ask for advice online the moment you're stuck. Try to figure it out, try to find a workaround, try to accept a less than ideal outcome. Maybe your mistakes inspire you to do a second playthrough where you'll do everything different. Play the game. It's what we did back then.
