New ways to make F1 and F2 different and CHALLENGING?

good ideas.... but stealing in this game is too abusive. you dont need much skill to save and redo it until you succeed. although that bozar i beat off that mofo every time always made it worth while. i dunno if there is a way to get bozar without taking it... but i never raised my steal skill to get it thanks to a time machine.

does anyone know if thrown weapons are good enough to beat things in the end? they are kinda fun to use. and its a helluva challenge. plus you can swing throwing knives so who knows how that will go.

does having high int and cha make the game much different?

besides being able to have sex with more people and fix things easier.
 
okay it seems after playing for a while the gunrunners in FO1 will not replenish their grenades so throwing weapons arent feesable to use exclusively.
 
Just go iron man. Play as if you were playing Nethack. Never save unless you are quitting. If you die, you're dead. Whatever your other choices, this will add an extra dimension.
 
you have restored my faith in the game! ironman sounds excellent. i might have to go sniper though because my melee char died sometimes to those annoying miniguns.

thanks... off to play Fallout: Hardcore Edition :P
 
Remember to set combat and game difficulties to "hard".

Iron-man all the way :D

Oh, and also, seeing as the game is biased towards "good" characters, rewarding them much more then the "bad" ones, you can try playing as an asshole. Slaver, child-killer, grave-digger.. combine that with Iron-man, and you have one hell of a ride ahead of ya.

You can also add to that sticking throughout the game with one crappy to mediocre weapon, like the ordinary shotgun, or a sharpened stick. :P
 
Play while your wasted like each time you take a drug in the game take a shot or w/e.That will surely get you into somthing.

Heh :) .
Actually playing a "good" character is a wrong idea for Iron-man - it's easy to die while killing slavers, etc.
The best approach for Iron-man is being "neutral" and focusing on survival.
 
well id just like to say that i forgot how easy it is to die in this game! i was getting petty in the den and tried to get the locket back..... with no armor. next ironman i play i think im going to cheat by saving after the test of trials. that part is so boring!
 
Currently I'm going through F1 using only unarmed as weapon. This does include knuckles though, since F1 doesn't offer much else for unarmed. (F2 has special attacks)

Now, why is that Deathclaw running away from me?

Yes, but what if you die in there?

Some other challenging ways to play:
Only use X weapons. (x being weapon type)

Playing a certain style of character, including limiting yourself to a certain armour. (e.g. only use leather jacket)
 
I recently wanted a new aspect so I decided to make a cracked out whore and play as a chick through a large part of it. With nothing more then Jet and a knife Ive slutted my way into new reno. Its kinda funny to see the opposite reactions ppl have to girls in fo2 especially when you have high charisma and sex appeal and are always cracked out.
