Fallout 2 Restoration Project Gameplay Thread

[d_f_n]

First of all thank you Killap! Great work!
I usually dont play again games that i already finished but this is trully an exception!

in the game now... I m doing the Abbey quests and especially 'find out who is digging the graves'. Well i found Tom, exposed him, found a work for him to mr. peterson. Thats all ok by now. Its now morning and he is walking to mr. peterson's house.

The problem: If i talk to Tom he says he gives me something he dug up from a guys' grave and hopes its useful to me. Well, he doesnt give me anything. I tried talking to him before he goes to peterson's house, or after... nothing. I droped all my stuff just to be sure that he gives me something... nothing... Is this a bug? What is he supposed to give you? Is it crucial for some quest?

I ve been through all pages in this thread but didnt notice anybody having this problem. Am i Jinxed? ))

Anybody who could help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

First of all great mod killap, I really enjoy playing F2 again and finding the new stuff.

And now for some questions regarding EPA I haven't found answers myself, and neither I found in this topic:
-What for is the scrap of paper with code? Couldn't figure that out.
-The location computers speak about seven different levels but I could swear I see only six color-coded areas... am I missing something?
-Planting seeds in Arroyo - how can I do that? I tried but couldn't figure it out.
-Experimental seeds - I planted one got spore plant. I killed it and now I have two more but can't use them on the garden in EPA... need I wait for the corpse to disappear or are the two other doses meant to be planted in Arroyo?

Thanks for any help in advance.

EDIT I found out WHERE in Arroyo I can plant the seeds... but it doesn't seem to quite work - first of all I can only plant one pack of seeds which seems strange after waiting 4 days and getting "black screen of map change" I get... nothing... no plants, neither with normal nor experimental seeds, just same old mutated corn.

Hello I've got some questions.

1. how can i cook these damn fishs laying around at the primitive tribe?

2. where can I get heart pills or other medecin which helps brother John in Abbey to cure? Or is this not a quest at all although he tells you about?

3. Where to find information about botany for brother Paul?

4. I found a lot of books at the Abbey, do I still need one of them? Or can I sell them?


Thx for helping me

Both of those can be found in EPA, though the pills might reqire having someone in your party (not sure about it though)... plus they have another use (hint, hint)

And here we go I've more question I always thought about but remained unanswered.

1. What abaout the Daises found by ths starnded whale?

2. What about the vapual rat - is it immortal?

3. What about the holy hand granate what is the use/sense of it do I needed for solving a certain quest?

Need answers

 

[gracul]

1. What abaout the Daises found by ths starnded whale?

Plain daisies, nothing special, can sell them for 100 i think, there are not a quest item.

2. What about the vapual rat - is it immortal?

Sure you can kill it Its pretty hard, so you may use the Holy Hand on it.

3. What about the holy hand granate what is the use/sense of it do I needed for solving a certain quest?

Its just one of many designer jokes. Hold it off and throw at Horrigan if you like

 

[jdharding]

The daisies and the whale are a reference to something from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Personally, I think when you click on the daisies, they should say "Oh no.. not again."

The Holy Hand Grenade is uhm.. was that a Monty Python joke? I don't remember.

I myself found a crashed Star Trek Federation Shuttle with dead 'red shirts' lying around. Got a Star Trek phaser from it.. hehe.

Very well, highlight the text for the spoilers: It's Cassidy from Vault City that you should have in party, and another use for the pills is to heal him out of his problems (interestingly enough this neither uses up the pills or change his floating texts)

Hello here is another question, I could never figure out on myself.

How can I tell my NPCs, e.g. Vic to repair or lock pick something?

I never get sam to do this. Please help.

First of all this should probably go to general help forum. As for the question itself it's a bit tricky to do. IIRC you have to be a bit far to thing you want the NPC to repair/lockpick/whatever and when you use the skill they should go instead of you... managed to get this to work once with Vic and generator in Toxic Caves but that was loooooong time a go.

THX for reply I'll try it.

Sorry for posting at wrong thread but I thought I can do it here, too.

 

[BR4ZIL]

for your npc's use a skill you must have 2 things
1) don't stay close to the object you want to use
2) if your skill is hight that your npc your cant have to use it

for example if your repair is 90% vic wont repair anymore because he's skill is 80% (i think)


and please awswer my question just above some posts

 

[Sebastian of the Wastes]

I'm having a problem in Gecko ... When I talk to the rat brain under the city for the first time, he seems to think that I've already repaired the reactor, which I have not. And he asks me to go get it optimized next. Gordon also reacted this way.

TO be more specific, when you talk to the rat brain, his fist dialog is to mention Keeng from Trapper town. The only prompt you have is to exit dialog. When you retalk to him, he's thanking you for restoring the reactor and asking you to finish the quest line.

EDITED:
This happened when I just had the patch installed and again when I installed the restoration project. However, I went back and tried again and was unable to reproduce the bug a third or forth time.

 

[Fasciana]

First thx for your reply.

please awswer my question just above some posts

now to your question. but I'm very sorry because I play it the first time with the mod, so I can't give you a hint, yet.

Maybe killap can, ask him directly. I'm although interested in the answer.

 

[BR4ZIL]

ok first i have found how to get the good ending for gecko: after you rapair and optimize the power plant you must give gordon's disc to mac lure and finally you get the good eding for gecko

now 2 more questions that are getting me MAD

HOW CAN I GET TO BROTHER MAX IN ABBEY?( i mean how get to the stairs.

and other WHERE THE HELL IS BROTHER PAUL?

thx for any awser that come by
