Fallout 2 (Thank You Killap & Co.)


Fallout 2. The name brings back such good memories for me. Killing the president with super stimpacks so as not to alert all of the Enclave to my presence, Trying in vain to kill the ghost in The Den for hours, or blasting a hole in the head of that pretentious First Citizen Lynette. It's a great game, it's just a pity that Bethesda had to ruin one of the greatest Dynasties ever. Fallout 2 is my favorite game. It's a game of open ended possibilities. In my current playthrough, I'm at the Enclave and I have yet to kill a single thing.
The must have downloads for this game are just that--must haves. You haven't played Fallout until you have played the Restored (almost) Bug-Free (almost) version.
You should download and Install in this order.
1. Killap's Fallout 2 Restoration project v1.2
-This restores tons of cut content to the game and includes the latest unofficial patch that fixes tons of bugs.
2. Fixes for the Restoration Project not included in the Installer
Just copy the files into the data/scripts folder. They will replace the older files with the same names.
3. Timeslip's latest Sfall (v2.0d)
You will want to go into the ddraw.ini text and replace some of the lines (like city limit fix) with the numbers from the ddraw.ini that comes with the Restoration project. Be sure to back up your files before installation!
4. The Fallout 2 High-Resolution Patch
Be sure to consult the various readme files included with each download, and backup older files before you overwrite them. That is all. Enjoy.

If you have trouble installing the above files, don't panic! Help can be found at the forums of http://nma-fallout.com/ Good luck and God bless.
