F2 without save/load story

Fallout 1 ironman paythrough

Hi.
I started to play Fallout 1 with Fixt megamod.

If you have any suggestions on how to make this report (to much information, to less, and so on) please tell me.
I am mostly doing it for myself, but your comments will be very appreciated. and will probably increase productivity.

P.S. I posted this in Roleplaying thread but decided that it will fit here better.
 
Tandi, oh Tandi

Hmmm, 750 caps? Pretty steep, easier to make a speech check "It'll be good for your eternal soul." does the trick.
 
So I finally made it. It took 1,5 year and "I don`t know how many" tries.

Objections:
no save/load
all party members must survive (Sulik, Cassidy, Marcus)
hard mode
final fight honest (without turrets)
no artificial leveling

Chosen build in lucky trial:
ST 5
PE 7
EN 8
CH 5
IN 7
AG 10
LK 6

Perks progression: Swift learner, bonus move, bonus ranged damage, lifegiver, bonus rate of fire, action boy x2, sniper, better criticals, living anatomy.
reached level 30 just before final fight

succesful try was wery lucky. Chosen was almost killed by Masticator (10 HP left), later problems with Morton Brother (closely surrounded, Marcus and Cassidy nearly dead), later very tough fight on second level of Military Base and incredible final fight (chosen and Marcus almost dead).

Uff.... now I can try Killaps Restoration project. With savings. Very often ;-)
 
Damn, saving and loading is an elemental part of my fallout gaming. The only iron-man run I did was for FO2, with an earlyer RP, and Kaga killed me, and I considered my attempt as complete :D

What's dishonest about using the turrets?
They're a legitimate part of the game.
If you fire at Horrigan, you'll draw his fire, turrets or not.
 
Philos, nothing wrong with using the turrets. Especially if you play rather diplomatic character. But IMO in ironman play the last fight should be hard and a bit dangerous. It has to provide excitment and stress, because you risk starting everything from begining.
IMO best way to meet with this idea, and make the battle well-balanced is Chosen`s team against Horrigans team (Granite and folks)
As a reward for taking the risk, you get one of the best dialogues in game

Granite "What the hell are you doing here"
Chosen "I dont have time for questions"
Granite "You bettet make time"
Chosen "I don`t make time, I make corpses..."
