Just got Fallout 1 : Fallout Series Discussion

» Fri Apr 08, 2011 8:27 am

I just got Fallout 1 for Christmas, and it is amazing. I have some questions though:

1. I was getting my butt slapped near Vault 15, so I headed south and now I am in Junktown. Where should I go from here?

2. I heard somewhere that the time to get the water chip was increased to 13 years in a patch, is this true?

One very important tip: Follow the questline.
This isn't FO3 or New Vegas, you stray off the quest line to hunt for towns and quests and you'll soon forget what it was that you were suppose to do and go.
Finish one town at a time.
Oh and save up money for rad-X and radaway for The Glow.

I can already see. The map is huge.

Hmm, don't raise skills above 150%.
I don't think that it does much to have it above that.

Save when in doubt, and look for companions, because they can be hidden easily.

Don't give Ian(possible companion) an SMG. Or maybe you can, but don't stand in his way then. :whistling:

Same applies for Marcus in Fallout 2(if you also plan to get it). No miniguns. :biggrin:

Did you go inside Vault 15?

On that note, keep an eye on Dogmeat, that bastard is suicidal.
Don't give Vic anything but a hunting rifle and when you do then step out of his way cause that bastard loves team-killing. (FO2)

Small spoiler on companions for FO1 though.

Spoiler

Ian - Shady Sands
Tycho - Junktown
Dogmeat - Junktown
Katja - Boneyard, Followers of the Apocalypse

Well, at least in my version (US version) the European version removed the childs and other things was modified to be less of a mature content

the German version on the othar hand.....

Bounty hunters will hunt you anyway if your Karma goes below 500.

I dunno if I got the Swedish version or anything but I can [_____] children with glee in my game. :laugh:
But this subject is against forum rules so let's stop here before the thread get's locked.

Find a water chip.

So Junktown first, Then Hub, Then Necropolis, Then back to V13, try to complete every quest available and talk to every NPC before you leave for the next town.

Back to V15, if you cant survive there, you wont survive anywhere.

2. I heard somewhere that the time to get the water chip was increased to 13 years in a patch, is this true?

Maybe, but you shouldn't worry about that too much, you have to be pretty neglegent to hit it.
