I believe (though I haven't checked recently) that pushes in Fallout 2 even spend APs outside of combat; that party members cannot move if they are out of APs. (I should really check to be sure before mentioning it, but I don't have the game on this backup pc; my main desktop is down.)

Party actions that boobytrap or otherwise make dangerous ground of the terrain that enemies must cross to advance. IE. Claymores, flame throwers, caltdrops, naphtha, proximity mines (not unlike FO3's). Given Wasteland's destructible nature, cave-in demolitions, and pit traps using a...

@Lexx Does this spend NPC AP's when used?

That's true.

How many modern Fallout fans (of the game or the show....or members here!) know about Mussolini? Most Fallout fans don't know about Tim Cain. Most people who watch Blazing Saddles don't get John Hillerman's joke about the Laurel & Hearty handshake.

Modders should exploit AI for royalty free 50's music with millennial lyrics. The principle advantage of this is fairly decent production, and in-world Fallout-centric lyrics. There could be a song about power armor, or the Fatman, or Mr.Handy; even Vault-Tek itself if desired. Certainly...

It depends. It's good, but Tord has the best Lets Play of it ever made. It's on his Youtube channel. I've watched it through a dozen times at least. Quite worth it IMO; though of course it's a total spoiler.

If you look (listen) at Fallout 1 & 2, the only 50's music in the games are the two intro tracks. The rest is atmospheric, and importantly representative of the inhabitants of the given areas. Brotherhood, Necropolis, Shady Sands, the Village, NCR. They are all culturally different; new...

Why would a society who imagines a great future to come, imagine that their music and cultural tastes would remain stagnant. When they imagined a future car, they did not expect it to be a 57' Chevy, they expected it to be a design of the future ~with 50's aesthetics. The same goes for housing...

Gotta leave their own mark.

The original Fallout doesn't need a wild wasteland perk (or trait); the wasteland is implicitly wild already. Arguably the WW perk in New Vegas is itself a mistake having it as optional, because the (outer wasteland) gameworld should exist that way regardless of player preferences —it's simply...
