Fallout 2 - Multiplayer bots

So, a friend and I want to play multiplayer together, but a one-on-one match—especially given the gap in experience (not a huge one; I mostly played solo, but at least I’m used to the vehicles and maps)—just doesn't make for an engaging experience. Has the community had any success creating bots to liven up the matches?

Starting g

Good day!

I don't mean to bother you, but a paranoid newbie wants to know what's worth adding to my inventory in this system? I was pleasantly surprised by the generation and got everything done quickly, but the inventory was a bit... scary.

Money itself isn't an issue. The GM allowed a 99 credit rating, we're playing in 1920. Choosing a weapon isn't exactly a problem, but what items and assets are absolutely essential for any character's inventory? Such a detailed item store scared me, partly because I'm a crunch player.

Pack File Manager crashing

Well, I've been wrestling with this for a while, but as always, it's best to ask.

Some may remember the old Kami Total War pack mod, and it had some really nice models. I like the pack itself, but sometimes I want a more vanilla experience with the models from there. I usually install the pack on Daimyo and am satisfied.

I lost a file I made a long time ago where I swapped the models of two characters (and I didn't even change the portraits, which I regretted). And now I'm stuck with the vanilla version, having lost the backup.

Eventually, this file simply stopped opening. Pack Manager greets every action with a catastrophic series of errors. The "Model Variant" section is completely missing, so I'm afraid I won't be able to change the models, and even changing the names on the portraits to swap them refuses to work, with the same cascade of errors.

Can anyone help me figure out how to stop this cascade? The file itself works, like Kami; it still works as a mod, but it can't be edited.

EDIT: Find my backup, but I would still like to change the portraits, which still come across as a cascade of errors.

Grail Knight lifespan

So, we know that Grail Knight can be ressurected by Lady, we know that when they drink from Grail, they are become in their Prime, but Hermit Knights mentioned that they are can become old.

But iirc Leon like, very old and not become old, and we know that Green Knight (i know how high bar it its) are alive, or ressurected at least. Some sources claim that they don't age and they have Regeneration in rpg rulebook, that kinda implies that they are immortal.

So ugh, it's a too big homebrew to count them as immortals or it's just GW inconsistent behaviour again? My main vibe is 5e Bretnonia and i check it later in this, but yeah.

Reccomend a fic with characters watches movies, but Mace Windu not a dick

The title, you see, I've read the Mace Windu books, the Mace Windu comics, and I understand Mace Windu.

He's not a loudmouth, "Anakin hater" ready to hack him to pieces for the slightest mistake, and even less so, ESPECIALLY not a "code-first" Jedi Master. He's a very, very flexible Jedi Master, in part because his talents have taught him flexibility.

It's just that Anakin is a truly lousy student.

But Filoni and the community took him as a basis: "dogmatic, everything is wrong with the Jedi Order, a hater of our misunderstood little special sonny Anakin."

Even the Legends books I found made him look like that.

I want to read about how the characters and the Order view events of the future and possibly the past—real characters, not caricatures who act the way people who don't understand what "strictness" means and why it's important want.

It's partly vent, for which I apologize, but it really pisses me off.

A little tantrum about Coalition Ending before i go to bed

Hey, guys.

I'm playing through the game for the first time, and I'm immediately following my political coordinates and game plans.

Specifically, to cleanse Harry of his bullshit and help him get through all this by overcoming his alcoholism and drug addiction.

I'm a little nervous because I hate time limits. I reach day five and in the morning I go to church to undergo checks to contact the Coalition.

The game made me feel like if I didn't do this early, I wouldn't have time.

And imagine my face when the game gave me the most beautiful picture. Harry, a broken man, clean, shaved, sober since the incident, without a drop of drugs in his body. Standing on the statue of a broken, bad king, trying to contact and stop a potential massacre.

He took responsibility for himself, for the people, for the world.

And so, in the end, the game spits in my face, "The case isn't solved, you're abandoning Kim," which I didn't intend to do. Now I'm unhappy that I didn't get any of the endings, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get the end of the investigation and the Moralittern ending.

Or is it complete crap and doesn't fit with the ideals of moralism, and should I just skip it and forget about it?

I'm just... I'm just unhappy, such a beautiful picture is so ruined, in a bad way. I feel like I don't want to play anymore.

Edit: I add this picture just to focus how much i was happy to see it and have a absolutly ruined a seconds later.

Edit 2:Electric Boogaloo: I check ending on wiki, its sucs ass. Fuck

Clans Introduction

Well, we all know our favorites.

"We are the Wolf Clan, children of Kerensky, we carry the honor of his name on our shoulders, like our fathers before us."

And

"We are the Jade Falcon Clan, Greatest among the Clans, we are warriors who fight with the might of the Falcon Claws."

And recently added:

"We are the Smoke Jaguars, Strongest of the Clans, we are hunters who fight with the ferocity of our namesake."

Has anyone in the community tried to do this for all Clans? I always considered it a failure of that Fas era that they gave it to, God forbid, two or three Clans, as well as the fact that only five Clans share the batchall casting text?

EDIT: I wrote shortened versions, but I meant the full versions, not just the first passage.

Mandalorian sexual freedom

My brain decided to flip-flop and completely ERASE where I found certain information.

The KOTOR roleplaying book talks about the value of celibacy and purity before marriage, while Star Wars Insider 86 makes a remark that this doesn't apply to treatment of children.

However, my brain has been seriously screwed, and I'd SWEAR I remember information that despite this (and considering their individuality), I remember it being mentioned that, due to how far apart a couple typically is due to their work as a bounty hunter (whether one parent or both), if the partners discussed it beforehand, casual relationships aren't considered shameful or treacherous (open relationships and all that).

If my memory serves me right, this was mentioned in The Bounty Hunter's Codex, which I'm about to reread, but to narrow it down, I want to ask you: has anyone else encountered this information in any book? In my opinion, it was some kind of reference book, but my brain, again, erased where this information came from.

Studying the system and playing several text-based and voice-based games, and increasingly analyzing the entire system as a whole, I'm beginning to feel that the materials are getting much stronger the further the system goes, which begs the question: has anyone yet made updated versions of the Origins from the core book and early materials?

Because even in the narrative, the difference between a Brotherhood Outcast and a regular Brotherhood member is enormous; the NCR and Nightkin gear is head and shoulders above the average West Coast survivalists and super mutants.

We'll get more West Coast soon, and I think it will be even bigger.

I fully understand that this is a very flexible narrative system, and I can tweak everything myself, but I know and play with some very stubborn people who insist on "playing by the rulebook." Plus, if I'm going to make my own versions, I want to see what others have already done.

Just once, while making a new character, I finally decided to compare the Trader and the Red Caravanner, and it's terrifying. I understand that he need to cover other NCR characters lack of supply, but man, he even has better gear, that is cool, but still, its powercreep

And also the remake of Vault Kid because he's useless, oh my god.
