for everyone else that wants to see if they're a bad enough dude you need a base Fallout game. gog is the gold standard and fallout is worth paying money for but buying fallout means LITERALLY GIVING MICROSOFT MONEY. I recommend holding out for a physical copy with all the sexy feelies.
<Essentialsthe gog versions will with perfect modern and *nix compatibility on modern systems, but these are still recommended
>Fallouthttps://github.com/rotators/Fo1in2/tree/master/Fallout2/Fallout1in2ports the original to the FO2 engine, adding its QOL menu features
also adds additional content, but the greatest divergence from vanilla is being able to tell ian not to shoot you in the back
worth it just for the take all button and not having to click on every door
<MAKE SURE TO CONFIG fo1_settings.inihttps://www.moddb.com/mods/fallout-fixt/downloadsthe precursor and alternative to 1in2, slightly different feature set. does NOT have the QOL features of 1in2
>Fallout 2https://github.com/BGforgeNet/Fallout2_Restoration_Projectthe gold standard. adds tons of cut and no original fanfic content. a minimal fixes only version is available for people who want that for some reason
>Fallout Tacticsidk lol

after stopping at a nearby settlement Spragg's accosted by scorpions on the way to another vault that might have the chip
it's surprisingly dangerous. despite having 9 AP I can only barely attack the scorpions once with my crappy knife and run or they'll catch and sting spragg. fortunately they're enough for a level up
I might put the skill points in the doctor skill, I'm not sure. a melee character's going need to do a lot of healing…
>>1685703now's the time to try again
make sure you kick up your AG. it's so much more fun when you can run circles around your enemies, and it enables new tactics you can't do otherwise

yeah they can crit fail. esp if you got high LCK
did you go LCK 9? i think thats what you need to get the ayyyy encounter. thats the only way i ever got it

the encounter rate must be way higher in FO2 because Spragg is accosted by scorpions and drought the whole way down. by the time he finally makes it to junktown the scorpion kill counter is at 22.
things have gone pretty well so far. spragg's upgraded to a spear, made level 4, and found a snazzy leather jacket that even got him the legendary maneater dogmeat. the day counter's already at 115, but still above 100 so I'm not worried
I might start getting worried when random encounters turn from scorpions to guys with guns but for now we're at an inflection point. we were actually going to be at an inflection point when I stopped at the raider camp but spragg's time on /sp/ has made him so stupid and repulsive that all he can do is pick a fight with their chief
anyone who's played fallout knows this part. a melanin enhanced hitman with the HIGHLY AUTHENTIC name Kenji tries to pop the local trader and de facto head hancho, and he wants us to go undercover to get evidence on the guy behind the corpse (kenji)
the offer's pretty lucrative for the early game

spiggas ded
prolly gizmo cuz it doesnt sound like youre there to make frens. and youre melee so you dont need a gun and ammo anyways. rob the store for chems and stuff on the way out of town. just rob everyone, thats what i always do. ton of weird shit in random containers. and its the apocalypse, so fuck it. you can trade whatever garbage to random encounters for extra chems. then just get real high and smart before talking to ppl and youll be able to talk ur way outta more shit and not get ded maybe
