- A common theme in the game is to use an item or skill on a person or object. Right-click on what you want to interact with and depending on what you want to do you select the appropriate icon. To heal someone: right-click on them, pick the backpack, select the stimpak.
- Fallout Edit. Find the Water Chip; Fallout 2 Edit. Give Spy Holodisk to authority in NCR; Kill Darion; Rescue Chrissy; Complete Deal with NCR; Notes Edit. Vault 15 can be found nine squares east of Vault 13 (Fallout) or six squares east (Fallout 2).
Fo1- I didn't find Shady Sands, Junktown and Adytum that interesting.- Vault 15 is just rats.- There isn't that much interactions or intriguing content if you infiltrate Mariposa, in comparison with the Cathedral.Fo2- Clearing the rats in Klamath. This is the real Temple of trials.- Clearing the Wannamingos in Redding.
Always the same enemies ad nauseam.- Vault 13 is exposition heavy, but you can't really do much there, beside the main quest.- Not much to do at the Ghost Farm, Vault 15 and the small village near Vault City (RP), beside their main quest.- At the opposite, there is many things to do at Umbra Tribe and the Abbey (RP locations), but they lack a main quest, contrary to other locations.- San Francisco is not totally awfull, but comes as very underwhelming after you've done Vault City, New Reno and Shady Sands. (and Shady Sands on itself is a bit underwhelming after Vault City and New Reno)- The cave with holes and traps, leading to the outpost for Bishop's mercenaries, is just annoying and offer no reward.Overall, the locations in which you spawn right into an enemy with big guns. I think about the 1st level of Mariposa in Fo1, the last level of Toxic Caves in Fo2, or all those entrance turrets in the oil rig. So many reload from the previous map + loading the location, because one of your companions or yourself got blowned or bursted to death, while entering the map. Click to expand.I've played fallout 2 about 4 times, so i'm not really new to it. But it is totally tedious.first of all, no tutorial was needed in fallout and i don't see why we would need one in its sequel.Secondly and most importantly, as a tutorial it is really poor.
Too many to count with Fallout 2. I still prefer it over the original, but only because of the greatly expanded role-playing elements. Combat for the first 5-6 hours of the game is a complete chore, and there's a lot of situations where you're better off just running.Temple of Trials is irritating because it punishes you for choosing to make the kind of character I did.
Fallout 1 How To Use Rope Lights
That's the problem if you play the game blindly like I did, you're saddled with melee weapons from the start, whereas the original game gave you a choice. It took me quite some time to find a weapon I could actually use. It's easily one of the most poorly designed tutorial levels ever.The area on the tanker where you have to save the guy's girlfriend stands out as being tedious.
I came across the aforementioned Rat Cave early in my playthrough, took one look at it and said 'nope' and went back to it later after I finished the game. I did the same thing with the Wanamingo Mine. I can't imagine actually trying to finish the quests associated with those areas the first time I came across them. Fallout 1:- Vault 15.
Blast tons of rats just to hear: 'Welp, I guess the chip isn't here, too bad'. Extra boredom points if you forget the rope. It does have some nice early game loot though.Fallout 2:- Temple of Trials if not playing a kung fu-character. Hit and run, hit and run, hit and run, hit and run.- Klamath rat caves.
More rats.- Modoc. Just a boring place overall.Fallout 3:- The entire game.Fallout NV:- Goodsprings. Tutorial areas are usually boring, but GS is mostly skippable so it's not that bad. Fallout 1:- Vault 15. Blast tons of rats just to hear: 'Welp, I guess the chip isn't here, too bad'.

Tutorial areas are usually boring, but GS is mostly skippable so it's not that bad. There is, but not on the first level. You need a rope to get to the second elevation, there you'll find another rope for the third elevation.It's worth visiting Vault 15 just becaus of the items (easy 10mm smg, hunting rifle and leather jacket) and the XP. Especially with Ian in the party the location is an ok-ish slog (at least it is rewarding). Meanwhile, what do you gain from grinding through the combat dungeons in Fo2?
Usually not much for how long they feel. Especially Redding- it's the biggest pain, imo. Should have reduced all mobs by half to make it ok. The absolute worst, overly long encounter/place were for me:Fo1:- Adytum battle, Blades vs Regulators. Fuck me if it takes long, those were like 20 minutes and with max speed on. For a battle that is certain to win, albeit Jon always dies and there's the danger of losing Smitty or the PA upgrade guy.- Necropolis.
A pain in the ass to move around.I think that fo1 has some shitty encounters, but with the player power curve becomes a wall at a point you just pwn anything at around The Hub and Boneyard:pSo if you do things like murdering a town, places with a lot of mobs, it's just fodder of one hit kills.Fo2:- Most if not all Wanamingo fights, of course.- Sierra Depot if you fuck up and don't reload for some reason.- The rat dungeons. Click to expand.Yeah, in a way. I guess what I'm trying to say is that F2 is around 15-20 hour game unless you knowingly take your sweet time with it. It has a lot of little content clusters which, relative to the games size, are pretty minuscule to be called exactly 'overlong'. For example, the dreaded Temple if Trials is often cited as too long, but you can finish it in around two minutes; and even if you tackle all the enemies and traps, it's less that ten minutes.
A lot of newer and/or less multifaceted games of the same length tend to feel a lot heavier. Yeah, in a way.
