Forum:Fallout 1 a few questions from a n00b

loving fo1 at the mo but i would like to know some things to help me play (soz if these are noobish questions guys)

1. what can i do to make the game look a bit better? (i know there is only so much you can do with a game from 97 but hoping there might be something)

2.skilldex sneak function- how do i know if im being noticed in sneek or not, also with steal? on this one i think im to used to fo3 telling me "hidden" or "detected". oh and do you get a critical bonus for sneak attacks?

no answers yet but one more question,

3. i keep hearing a reloading sound from my gun even tho i have a full clip. any ideas on that anyone?

I am sorta noobish at the original Fallout games as well but I will give it a shot.

1. I don't know other than playing with your video settings. Like you said it's from `97, I didn't expect it to be a graphics powerhouse, so I never worried about it. The only issue I really have with it is once in a while I get this crazy rainbow pixel shading. It doesn't hurt gameplay any, it's just annoying and fixed by reloading.

2. The skills are alot more like pen and paper RPGs. You can go into sneak then the game "rolls" against your skill level and against the NPC's perception to determine a success or failure.

3. I get that too. It's just an action for when you character is idle. Similar to games like GTA where if you leave your character standing around a while they will start to tap their foot, make snide comments or the camera starts panning around.

Hope that helps.--JiNX Bloodfang 07:54, November 8, 2009 (UTC)
