Fallout 2

[CrowDog]

Just found this game used at eb....gonna play it for the first time. But is the resolution really stuck so low? Anyway to change the res?

anything else I should know about the game from you fallout vets?

EDIT:

640x480? lol...I can barely even make out some of the graphics they are so bad My 19inch monitor makes the graphics look absolutley terrible...it really is unplayable like this If I can atleast get it in 800x600 I might be ok

 

[Schadenfreude]

Nope- you're stuck with the resolution.

But it's well worth the price . . ..

I concur.

The graphics aren't that bad. They can be a bit on the grainy side but I played them just fine on a 19" monitor.

 

[Sunner]

Yeah, I have a 21" and I still play Fallout 1&2 once in a while

fallout1 was fun. something about fallout2 that i could never play all the way.

did you play Baldur's Gate 2 or Icewind Dale at 800x600 or higher? The graphics were just as "bad" you just didn't notice as much because while the same amount of pixels were used for each person / weapon / etc. they just took up less of the screen.

Stop being an eye-candy whiner and enjoy one of the 5 best PC RPGs of all time

Yea maybe your right...but still a 640x480 res lock even in 1998 is a little lame

even though...Ill go start it again right now and try and get into it

 

[Sunner]

That's the spirit! It's an absolutely kickassofistic game

By the way, you did play FO1 first, right?

Try playing it on a smaller monitor. I have Fallout & Fallout2 loaded on my PII machine with a 15" monitor and ithe game looks fine to me.

They were selling as dual - Jewel cases from Interplay for ~$10 a while ago.

I know. That'll be my last resort since: a) I'd like to have the box & manual, b) Interplay sucks and I'd rather not give them my money.

 

[shadowfaX]

the manuals make it totally worth the money (if you're into that kind of stuff). i guess i'm the kind of gamer that likes good, heavy manuals. a la baldur's gate series and icewind dale series. plus, the recipes at the back of the fallout ones are awesome. i wish i'd snagged them but i got the dual jc edition for a present. didn't really want to have two copies of the game around... (although it'd be nice!)

another :beer: for the fallouts. black isle games are so awesome.

Don't forget to download the patch! There are some very time-consuming save bugs and things like that in the original version.

The only thing about it is that it will invalidate any saves you've already made. Awesome game, though. I hope you enjoy it.
