The Temple of Trials is the Scrappy level of FO2.  It's out-of-place, weird, and you'll have forgotten about it entirely by the time you play any of the rest of the game.

This.

But Virtz is right, there should be a door directly ahead of you that you should open.

When you've figured out looking at things (the cursor with the binoculars next to it), look at everything. Some are useful, some are funny, some are both.

Temple of Trials is something like this:

• Kill Things
• Pick Door Lock
• Kill More Things
• Blast Door with Dynamite
• Kill Even More Things
• Talk to guy guarding exit, fight him, whatever. Get out.

[Deon]

And you should be aware that there's an online fallout 2 in the development. You just need an original copy to play it. I was playing in open and closed beta tests and it was really fun.

Now they are developing new mechanics and fixing some bugs so it's closed for now, but check www.fonline.ru from time to time. Don't be confused with the runet part, this game is developed by russian-speaking people, but allows an english as international language and there were a lot of players from different countries.
3rd open beta should launch in 15th of August.

And if you take the time to disarm all the pressure plates, you'd have earned a lot of extra XP, or at least get more spears in your quiver...

Nope, you can go through the entire thing without any party members. I think that it is possible to complete the game by killing every man, woman, and child that you meet. Obviously, some quests will be unavailable if you do that, though.

You dont have to have a party, but you cannot finish the game if you kill every man woman and child. There is atleast one person that you need to do/get something from in order to finish the game. That and you lose out on alot of good quests.

You should, imo play FO1 then FO2. Both are great amazing games, by far the best RPG's I have ever played. They are extremely indepth, with tons and tons of little touches, (try playing a low int char, and having a conversation, its hillarious) easter eggs (TONS of references to monty python movies). You can go out and buy both games for like 10 dollars.

Also, I recommend beefing up Small guns, Energy Weapons, and one other skill of your choice. There are beginner perks (not called perks, and you can only get them at generation) that are awesome. You HAVE to get bloody mess. The game is unplayable without it.

I'm pretty sure you can win the game by killing everybody. You can get to the final stage by killing everyone and commandeering the giant metal thing which floats on water onto the other giant metal thing. From there, you can kill everyone inside and set off the big explosion, from which you escape.

But you definitely will miss out on a lot of stuff.

[Virtz]

I think the only people you cannot kill in FO 1 and 2 are people in the Vault and Village (respectively for each game). Doing so gives you a game over once you leave that area (since you basically fail the main quest).

[Puck]

It's probably a matter of timing, innit? FO1 for isntance.... take care of the chip problem and THEN kill everybody? Doeth that worketh?

I never tried it or even thunk about it.

But yeah, FO1 was the only RPG so far that made me suck the story in like it was a good book. I wish it was much longer, tho.

[Virtz]

No, because your mission from then on is still to save the Vault, simply from a different threat. Once you do that, the game is over.

[Puck]

But I somewhat doubt you really need all the people in the vault alive for the quest logic to work.

I cant remember it exactly... but after you took care of the chip problem and that other thing you come back to talk to the boss, right? couldnt you kill everybody but the boss, and save him for last?

I know for a fact that you can kill the boss after you finished the main quest and before the ending scene kicks in, even without the bloody mess perk.

Concerning the ending, I think that's more dependent on your end karma (although some state that you can simply toggle combat mode right after speaking to him to do so, but that might just be rumour).

But still, the mission is to save the Vault, not save the Overseer, be it from dehydration or from Super Mutant invasion. I'm pretty sure I tried mass slaughter in the Vault before and it didn't end well, and not just due to the Overseer being immortal in his powerchair. I think the only one in the Vault you can kill without inciting the rage of everyone is the water thief (and that's before you solve the waterchip problem). And I think making the whole Vault, including the Overseer, angry at you is enough for a game over.

its worth a try

Do want!

Anyways, loving the game so far, beats BG2 by miles of desert dwelling fun.

Well, losing out on a lot of the quests is obvious. After all, that's what the people do. You might be able to do all the good quests, kill all the good people, do all the bad quests (the non-exclusive ones, anyway), kill all the bad people, and have that work. But there wouldn't be much point there.

I believe that you can kill everyone outside the initial village (which you are supposed to be trying to save, anyway)

Getting into Vault City to get the vault 15 location is easy if you kill everyone. You can't kill the computer, so you can get the location from there. Same procedure in Vault 15 to get to vault 13, and vault 13 to get the GECK.

You'd need to know what you are doing, but you should be able to get everything you need for the tanker while killing everyone. FOB and computer are easy, fuel can be had by shooting everyone and getting through to the computer in the back that you normally need to do quests to get to. You *might* not be able to kill the captain, but I suspect that you can drive the ship yourself if you do that.

Of course, I've never actually tried it, so YMMV.
