Since trainers, utilities and mods aren't part of the game, I won't deal with them specifically.

I've also used Falche2 Character Editor 2.10 and Inventory Editor 1.01 extensively to try out situations and features moreover I've used Fallout 2 DAT explorer v1.42 to unpack game files, Fallout Items Mode Editer 1.1 to check out some item details, Fallout Utility for Critter tinKering 0.62 to check out some critter data, and the script decompilers by TeamX and Noid as well as the scripts that came with the Fallout 2 Mapper to check lots of things. To my knowledge there is not a single significant difference between the UK and US versions except for the children thing. I've been playing the game using the UK edition, patch version 1.02e plus the "children patch". There are details and aspects you won't notice until your second, third or fourth game, playing different characters with different attitudes. The basic assumption is that players want to squeeze as much out of their game as possible - which is another thing that makes writing this guide worthwhile, because Fallout 2 is a game that just keeps on giving. For game mechanics, detailed item stats and such, consult the manual and/or available in-game information. It is not, on the other hand, an attempt to compile reams of game data such as documenting every karma point gained or lost, because it wouldn't be much fun. This guide is an attempt to provide a thorough presentation of the things you can do in Fallout 2: quests to perform, places to go, people to eat. That turned out to be quite an undertaking, but on the other hand, as far as I'm concerned Fallout 2 is the best computer game ever made. This guide exists because I realized that if I wanted the kind of complete Fallout 2 guide that I envisioned, it pretty much meant writing it myself. Welcome to my Fallout 2 guide/walkthrough. Introduction "Hey, stranger! Need a guide?" If you want to play a moron who can hardly talk because of his low intelligence, you can. If you want to play an evil bastard, you can (Yes, you really can hit children in the groin with a sledgehammer).

If you want to play a goodie-two-shoes, you can. Fallout 2 allows you to play your character the way you want. Fallout 2 is cool because it's a nonlinear, nonclassbased kickass postnuclear computer roleplaying game with a high replayabillity value. To index The Nearly Ultimate Fallout 2 Guide
