GOG is having a sale. Gonna finally get the early Fallout games, dunno when I will have time for them, but by god they're gonna get installed

These are the British versions of the games. You need to mod the children back in especially for The Den in Fallout 2.



If you (anyone) don't play Thief on expert mode then you suck.

Just an FYI The Long Dark.



The Long Dark is a thoughtful, exploration focused survival simulation set in the Northern wilderness in the aftermath of a global disaster. Brave the elements and other survivors, hunt for supplies, explore the world, uncover the mystery, answer the question: How far will you go to survive?

:drool:

Thief is my number 1 favorite franchise. I cannot fucking wait for this game. Garrett ftmfw.
 
Yeah. I guess I was wrong. I have little faith in gaming companies lately.

I read this big, long article about how the original DRM model could have allowed for Steam like prices. I dunno, it seemed to make sense at the time. Would have been very interesting to see how Sony would deal with Steam AND MS sharing a similar business model.

Sony was giving away free and discounted games before MS was.
 
I almost never play single-player story games on the highest difficulty, at least the first time through. I like playing through and enjoying the story and exploring.

I'll admit to not being a very good gamer and usually play on easy mode. However I do play the Thief series and the Ghost Recon/Rainbow 6 (until they both became consolized) on expert setting.

I love Thief 1&2. Thief 3 not so much because of the dumber AI and smaller maps due to consoles. However the Shalebridge Cradle mission is wonderful.

What is the best/easiest way to go about doing this?

I am doing this on a some what fuzzy memory.

Fallout 1:
1) Fallout 1 v1.2 Patch by TeamX get it here.

2) Fallout v.1.3.5 Patch by TeamX get it here.

3) Fallout 1 Kids Patch get it here.

4) Fallout NPC Mod get it here.

5) Fallout Hi Res Patch get it here.

Optional between 4 & 5

Fallout Update Mod get it here.

Fallout Restoration Mod get it here.

Fallout 1 Mod description


Since the American version of Fallout 2 was the last one patched. It is the one GoG sells and it has kids.

For mods I would recommend Killap's Fallout 2 patch only or his patch-restoration mod depending on what suits you. Get either one here.

In story games I don't even really see it as a matter of skill, just enjoyment. I like to "breeze" through the story without getting frustrated by having to play some hard part of the game over and over. With some games I'll go back and play through on the hardest difficulty if there's some reason to (Halo 4 for example gives you the Master Chief armor set for finishing it on Legendary difficulty), but I did that after playing all the way through on Normal.

In the thief games, increasing the difficulty doesnt really make the enemies harder, what it does it increase the number of goals and objectives, usually requiring you to not only break into the location, but back out again as well.
Makes the game way better.

I'm the same way. Games with a heavy storyline I play more for the enjoyment of the story than to be frustrated because I can't get past bad guy #213 because some game mechanic means I have to be spot on with my twitch reflexes in using skill A with action b in a millisecond response time.
