YOUR ALLIES
===========
Here's some information about your allies. They don't level up, but in my
personal experience they seem to get better in combat as you progress in
the game further. Maybe it's coincidence, I don't know.
- Ian
---
Hit points: 50
Armor: Leather Jacket
Starting weapon: 10mm Pistol
What he can use: All one-handed pistols (excpet for energy), knives, unarmed
Usefulness: Very high
How to get him: He is in the guard house at Shady Sands. He'll join you
for free if you ask about his injury and tell him that
you are sorry. Ask him to join you. If he asks for money,
tell him that he can have a piece of the action and he'll
join you for free.
Deadly with: .223 Pistol or 10mm SMG (be careful if you choose the latter)
Extra info: He can give you directions to the Hub and Junktown.
* Pros: Good with one-handed weapons, high small guns skill, not too bad
with unarmed weapons
Cons: Armor not too great, two-handed weapons pose a problem, he
uses spiked knuckles instead of a gun (if you give the former to
him), gets burst-happy (like all NPC's)
- Tandi
-----
Hit points 35
Armor: None
Starting weapon: Knife
What she can use: Knives and Pistols
Usefulness: Low
How to get her: After you rescue Tandi from the Raiders, don't return her.
Signature feature: Probably running away...haven't used her as an NPC
Deadly with: Possibly a Ripper
Extra info: She can't really talk with you. Also, if you return her to
Shady Sands, she won't join you.
* Pros: Okay at best with 14mm Pistol or Ripper
Cons: Low hit points, no armor, and if she's dead there isn't a way to
finish the Shady Sands quest.
- Tycho
-----
Hit points: 60
Armor: Leather Armor
Starting weapon: Shotgun
What he can use: Small guns and spears, prefers rifles and shotguns
Usefulness: Very High
How to get him: Wait unti the evening and enter the Skum Pitt. Talk to
him and ask him to join you. You can only recruit him
if you agree to help Killian "clean up" Junktown (accept
the quest to kill Gizmo).
Deadly with: Combat Shotgun or Sniper Rifle
Extra info: He can increase your outdoorsman skill.
* Pros: High small guns skill, can use virtually any small arms, decent
uarmed/melee choices, has the best armor out of any NPC
Cons: Like other NPC's, he gets burst-happy
- Dogmeat
-------
Hit points: 50
Armor: none
Starting weapon: unarmed (teeth)
What he can use: Teeth
Usefulness: High
How to get him: He's at Junktown, just like Tycho. He's messing with this
man named Phil. Feed him with an iguana-on-a-stick or
walk around him with a Leather Jacket on.
Deadly with: Teeth (what else?)
Extra info: He can't use items (he's a dog!), and for that matter, can't
talk to you. He's very loyal, however.
* Pros: Lots of action points and high critical chance
Cons: He won't leave you until he's dead, and he soaks up damage like
a sponge (literally)
- Katja
------
Hit points: 39
Armor: Leather Jacket
Starting weapon: throwing knife
What she can use: Throwing Knives, all one-handed pistols (like Ian)
Usefulness: Medium-High
How to get her: Go to the Followers' Library in the Boneyard and talk to
her. Tell her that you don't plan on staying at the
Boneyards and she'll join you.
Deadly with: 14mm Pistol (I've heard she gets good criticals with that
weapon.)
Extra info: She can pick locks. This comes in handy in the endgame,
especially in the first floor of the Cathedral (if you find
Morpheus and his mutant guards too much to bear).
* Pros: Can lockpick doors, okay with 14mm Pistol
Cons: Can't use SMG's well (unlike what she says), fewer hit points
than other NPC's, weak armor
CRITTERS

FEV creatures & Ghouls
----------------------
This is the direct result of what happens when a normal human is injected
with the forced evolutionary virus. Extremely big and strong, Super Mutants
make a formidable opponent. They are typically seen with floaters and
centaurs, two creatures that the FEV can also spawn. (At least I think so...)
Tim Cain stated that ghouls were victims of radiation poisioning, not victims
of the FEV virus on an IGN post. It turned out that the ghouls were former
inhabitants of Vault 12 (where Necropolis is at). Vault 12's doors never
functioned, therefore Ghouls are victims of radiation poisoning. Many thanks
go to Eric Wills (lord_xeen@hotmail.com) and Tim Cain for contributing to
this.
NOTE: I have found evidence that supports both approaches to how ghouls
were formed: Either speak with Talius at the Boneyards or see what
happened to the inhabitants of Vault 12.
The FEV was designed at the place now known as the Glow with hopes of
creating a super soldier. The virus makes the humans stronger, but lowers
intelligence and in its current state, makes them sterile.
- Super Mutant
- 40-140 hit points, 250-500 xp
- Weapon: any big gun or large energy weapon (or unarmed)
- Armor: green - very lightly armored
black - somewhat armored (miniguns/SMG's don't work
that well against them)
- Ghoul
- 12-100 hit points
- Weapon: same as humans, except they cannot use big guns or
large energy weapons.
- Armor: none
- Glowing Ghouls
- 36-60 hit points
- Weapon: same as humans, but I've only seen unarmed so far
- Armor: none
- Special: They can radiate you!
If you use the geiger counter, you'll see about
5 to 10 rems. (Estimate here)
- Floaters
- 50-75 hit points
- Weapon: Some weird appendage that I have no knowledge of
(it's reasonably powerful and can knock you over)
- Armor: thick skin (like master)
- Special: I'm not sure, but they can poison you.
- Centaurs
- 94-130 hit points
- Weapon: Teeth, virtually the same knocking-over capabilities of its
"floating" bretheren
- Armor: thick skin, but not as thick as Floater skin
- Special: Same as floaters (I think)
You'll only see Centaurs and Floaters in random encounters or
in the first level of the Cathedral.
ROBOTS
------
Robots - in a post nuclear game. They are either found in the Glow
or in the two mutant bases. Pulse grenades do the best job, but
plasma grenades and energy weapons should also do the job.
- Sentry Robots (tan)
- 40 hit points, 175 xp
- Weapon: Unarmed
- Armor: Steel
- Floating Eye Robots (red)
- 60 hit points, 275 xp
- Weapon: Unarmed
- Armor: Steel
- Sentry Robots (black) / Robobrains
- 80 hit points, 300 xp
- Weapon: Rifles or Shotguns
- Armor: Strong Steel
- Mr. Handy
- 113 hit points, 400 xp
- Weapon: Minigun
- Armor: Strong Steel
CREATURES OF THE WASTES
-----------------------
Creatures that wander around the wasteland, and don't fit under a
particular classification.
- Deathclaw
- 225 hit points, 1000 xp
- Weapon: claws
- Armor: thick skin (don't be fooled - very strong)
- Special: none. Nope, it cannot blind you, etc.
Deathclaws are very strong and deadly creatures. Fighting one by
itself isn't too hard with decent small guns skill, but fighting
many is difficult. If you give Ian the .223 Pistol and Tycho the
Sniper Rifle, then the two make an excellent Deathclaw-killing
squadron. They (deathclaws) have an insane amount of action points,
so watch out!
- Mantis (found outside)
- 20 or 30 hit points,
- Weapon: appendages
- Armor: exoskeleton
- Special: only found in random encounters
- Dogs
- 14 hit points
- Weapon: teeth
- Armor: fur
RANDOM ENCOUNTERS
-----------------
These can be good or bad. Generally, good encounters can be identified
with a cross, while bad encounters can be indentified with a lightning
icon. Good encounters can be found with high luck and perception.
Good Encounters (most in Desert)
- Talking Cows: I don't know what this means. Ignore the message about
something going wrong. I think it is a possible reference
to Mad Cow disease or something.
- UK Police Box: Go to it, and the box disappears, and a motion sensor
appears. Desert only. Reference to the popular 1970's
'Dr. Who' show in England.
- Bob's Used Cars: Inside his shack, thhere are two guns. In a crate to
the left is the Red Ryder LE BB gun and in the footlocker
there is a standard Red Ryder BB gun as well as 100 BB
pellets.
- Footprint: Has a Stealth Boy on the ccorpse on the footprint. Occurs in
the desert. Possible reference to Godzilla.
- Overturned truck: Contains a box withh loads of money.
- Bob's Used Cars: If you pick the lockked door and open it, you'll find
both the Red Ryder BB and LE BB guns.
- Aliens: You can find the alien blasteer along with a portrait of Elvis
in the ship. Reference to the 1947 Roswell incident.
- Patrick the Celt: You don't need highh luck for this one. He'll give you
directions to places. You can ask him to sing a song
to you in Gaelic, and your Charisma will increase by
one. Identified with the lightning icon and he is found
in the mountains.
Bad Encounters (can occur anywhere)
- Random critters, from rats to deathcllaws
- Raiders and Thugs attacking you
- Raiders and Thugs attacking peasants or each other
- Dehydration (Don't worry if it says yyou lost health points. There isn't
a health point statistic in the game.)
- Rough terrain (only in mountains)
- Nausea (happens when radiation is in your system)
- Town guards (if traveling close to ciity)
- Caravans
- Dead traveller (sometimes accompaniedd with critters). Usually, the
corpse has some items in it.
- Caravan guard, deathclaw ate his caraavan. At least he'll give you his
equipment, so it isn't too bad. Good for a scare, though.
- Fisherman and his son (only at coastaal areas)
BUGS PRESENT IN VERSION 1.1
---------------------------
Even with the patched release, Fallout contains several bugs. Here is a list
of a few of them (included are workarounds, if necessary):
- You can barter and steal over your maaximum weight limit. It's corrected
in Fallout 2.
- Irwin's quest takes about 14 days. Buut on the Pip-Boy, it will only
subtract two days until the deadline for the Vault to run out of
water.
- Using Power Armor and drugs can get yyou perks that you were not entitled
to getting.
- If you offered to scout out the northhern area for Maxson, destroyed the
Military base, told Maxson that the (imploded) base is crawling with
mutants and were asked to go to the Elder meeting, this causes an endless
conversation. After you enter the Elder meeting room, the elder on the
bottom left will continue to congratulate you.
Workaround: Right after the elder finishes talking, hit 'A' to go into
combat mode and run away. This works. Alt-Tabbing during
the conversation seems to make the problem go away.
- There are some Brotherhood of Steel aand Shady Sands ending irregularities.
Sometimes it seems quite strange when the Brotherhood takes over NCR
when Shady Sands gets taken over by mutants (and doesn't start NCR).
- It's possible to gain two Luck from CChuck, the fortuneteller in Adytum
if you choose the right conversation path.
- One of the FAQ readers told me that tthe bridge guard wouldn't move after
you've told him even with version 1.1. The only workaround is to kill the
Gun Runners and then take care of the Regulators by yourself (without the
Blades assisting you). I personally haven't had this problem myself.
FALLOUT TECHNICAL MANUAL
========================
This section of the guide covers patch versions, bugs, system requirements,
and information for setting up Fallout on Linux/UNIX OS's and Windows NT
and its derivative OS's.
OFFICIAL FALLOUT RELEASES (GAME VERSIONS)
------------------------------------------
- Version 1.0: Initial North American rrelease. (Fallout 'Gold')
- Version 1.1: Updated North American rrelease. Corrects lots of bugs
and removes the time limit.
- Version 1.2: European release. I thinnk it fixed some more bugs in
version 1.1 (probably new ones were made in the process).
Children are removed in the game, and possibly the violence
and language filters are toned down.
PATCH INFO
----------
First of all, do NOT patch version 1.2!
Several speech bugs fixed.
Radiation increasing your stats has been fixed.
Once you return the water chip, there is no requirement for you to complete
the quest to kill the Master and the blow up the Military Base in a
certain amount of time. (Without the patch, it is 500 days if you didn't
take the water caravan or 400 days with.) However, there is a 13 year
time limit in the game engine.
The NPC duplicating bug has been fixed.
Increases the stability of the game.
Increases save/load times.
However, some bugs aren't fixed. The Stealth Boy can turn into a motion
sensor if you turn it on and save in combat...hasn't occured to me. It
could happen with Fallout v.1.0. Here are some bugs in Fallout v.1.1.
- You can barter and steal over your maaximum weight limit. It's corrected
in Fallout 2.
- Irwin's quest takes about 14 days. Buut on the Pip-Boy, it will only
subtract two days until the deadline for the Vault to run out of
water.
- Using Power Armor and drugs can get yyou perks that you were not entitled
to getting.
- If you offered to scout out the northhern area for Maxson, destroyed the
Military base, told Maxson that the (imploded) base is crawling with
mutants and were asked to go to the Elder meeting, this causes an endless
conversation. After you enter the Elder meeting room, the elder on the
bottom left will continue to congratulate you.
Workaround: Right after the elder finishes talking, hit 'A' to go into
combat mode and run away. This works. Alt-Tabbing during
the conversation seems to make the problem go away.
- There are some Brotherhood of Steel aand Shady Sands ending irregularities.
Sometimes it seems quite strange when the Brotherhood takes over NCR
when Shady Sands gets taken over by mutants (and doesn't start NCR).
- It's possible to gain two Luck from CChuck, the fortuneteller in Adytum
if you choose the right conversation path.
- One of the FAQ readers told me that tthe bridge guard wouldn't move after
you've told him even with version 1.1. The only workaround is to kill the
Gun Runners and then take care of the Regulators by yourself (without the
Blades assisting you). I personally haven't had this problem myself.
- There's no way to finish the Spy in tthe Followers quest. The quest was
removed from the game sometime during the development of Fallout. The
patch won't fix the issue.
- Whenever you fight the Master he summmons Nightkin to come and attack you.
You can save the game and load it, and then the Nightkin will be gone.
CHEAP TRICKS
------------
For starters, the easiest one is to swindle the shopkeepers in the game.
For example, you can sell a stimpack to a shopkeeper for $100 and buy
it back for $80! Repeat until you have enough money or are just tired.
Works on all versions.
You can use drugs and get perks that you normally aren't entitled to
getting. This is good for obtaining slayer and sniper. Power Armor
also should get you perks.
Every time you go in the Deathclaw cavern, you'll get 800 experience.
You can leave and ask Slappy to take you there again, and you'll also
get the experience! Works on version 1.0 only.
You can take the Gifted Trait and then use the Mutate! perk to change
Gifted into another |
