I actually tried to do this, and... I could either make it make more in game sense, not break immersion, not allow a crafty player to skip lynette and harrold and pick up both the best ending for Gecko and the vault city citizenship without even trying, fix randomly dropping the whole vault...

Update - vic/kurisu thing finally fixed. I'm still considering balancing it against other ways to do it and I still need to do some fancy work on the vic dialogue, but how it works is: - If you free Vic, he can tell you where he was held (Slaver Camp). If you go there with him you have the...

Oh, don't worry, you can still screw yourself over in plenty of ways (not much has changed at all, tbh), all this stuff fixes things in a way that prevents you from screwing yourself out of the challenge, dialogues and options rather than screwing yourself out of solutions. It's not about...

Update: Status: - Vault vilage Grenade change works - BH scouting works - Abbey reveals work - bugfixing and testing vic - The peaceful solution to the vault village tie in with the brain and the gecko power plant needs a bit more work (especially sorting out the brain dialogue). - the vault...

EDIT: I thought up a solution to having either too strong guns which would break progression or too weak which would to break immersion. It's simple - the villagers know that VC squads will only pick on them if they're not risking it. What they want is GRENADES. "We can probably get a few...

Ok, so the status is the following: 1) Broken hills scouting fully operational and bugfixed (I hope). 2) Vault Village unlocks after Gecko Scouting. How it works: - After scouting Gecko you can ask from more reconnaisanse, and you get offered broken hills. - Stark warns you not to rush...

Well, you got me :) Also - this isn't just me, couldn't have done anything without phobos, I can't compile or decompile stuff at all (atm) and he's done stuff to my copy/paste/arrange blunderings through code which made it actually work. Credit where credit's due!

^ I was reffering to the guns and money you get and get to keep as a part of doing that quest the peaceful way (which is how I always did it tbh). There's a 10 000 gold, assault riles and a shotgun involved if I'm not much mistaken and that's a huge bonanza for a few speech checks at that time...

^ Wait just a few days, the gameflow fixes are 50% done. If Phobos wasn't in a different timezone from me and had to go to bed, they would've been a 100% done.

Good news everyone! I teamed up with Phobos who, as opposed to me, knows his way around FO2 and sfall code, and with his advice and help we managed to get 2 out of 4 fixes operational! In... basicaly an hour. And that hour was not 15 minutes because I don't know how to code and I was the one...

Thanks for the reply. I know what you mean and I whish I suggested these earlier, ofc, but I don't have the strenght to have to metagame my way around issues these would solve for the millionth time. As soon as I have the time/energy I'll do my best to see if I can either apply them myself or...

Just stating it for these two in particular. Last playthrough I got married (was playing with miria mod) before doing anythign else in modoc (or being equipped to) so I got cut off from a few quests, and if the car thing means I reach the brahmin drive destionation with a car it also changes...

Well the Grisham/married status and the NCR caravan car bug (if it extends to the brahmin drive as I assume) are actually big enough to add somethign to a new playthrough.

^^ Whee, well that's somethig - checking that thread right now! Also, I hope someone does the gameflow tweaks eventually. They can be done with minimal work (most of them) and it really would help the whole work better. EDIT: Oh, and if the car bug with the NCR caravan means I can do the...

Yeah, I'm quite dissapointed. Not to mention that I don't see the fix to the problem that when you get Married in Modoc it changes the fathers dialogue potentially cutting you off from quests and barter if you do it before. Especially since this seems to be mostly a bugfix release. The source...

^ Err, I've decided to break my habit of bringing FO2 stuff into later games threads. I would like to discuss this particular subject to death, then undeath, then beyond undeath into reincarnation. How about I make a new thread about it somewhere where people with other interests don't have to...

Yeah, srry. I actually started to write on but deleded it. Thoght that I did it on time, but sadly no. It was ment as a bit of fun.

Fallout 2 sort of inflates the number of characters on the screen by using guards (not too bad), or in case of New Reno pimps, prostitutes and drug merchants. It really doesn't work for New Reno because it lacks a "productive" population to support all the whores and drug dealers :D

And getting shot at by that sniper in a minefield. That was memorable.

How is it obvious? If you get to VC you get the "become a citizen" quest which builds onto the main quest (or looks like it will, entering the vault might and does provide info). You also get "scout gecko" quest which goes nicely along with it. You do gecko, you become a citizen. You also find...
