THE BEST Mods for Fallout 1 & 2 | Ultimate Modding Guide

[@slothjohnson4724]

Hi Kelphelp, I'm the author of the talking heads mod. Thank you very much for your kind words and mentioning the project on your review :)

[@Kelphelp]

I should be thanking you for your hard work and talents really bringing up the quality of Fallout 2 to something so much more. Thanks so much for all your work!

[@jerphill420]

Its seriously a W mod. I really appreciate you making it

[@drkzebo9988]

I use that mod very good work bro 🎉🎉🎉

[@stevedowning3892]

Very impressive. I had no idea that mod existed

[@staple_boi]

Just wanna say that your mod is fucking sick I love the models gets me so much more immersed

[@mclovin9210]

What I would highly recommend is FO2tweaks. It adds much needed quality of life improvements. Like enhanced highlighting, being able to access the map anywhere, and opening unlocked doors automatically. It also lets you fix the issue of companion leveling. Since they only have a chance to level while in your party, companions you can only pick up later in the game, will always suck a bit compared to Sulik. My favorite is the ability to limit knockback on melee weapons. Making melee characters much more viable, because you don't have to waste all your action points running after enemies sliding all over the map. Everything is optional and customizable. So yeah, Restoration Project + FO2tweaks is my preferred Fallout 2 experience. Small comment on the video: Fallout 2 vanilla does have a few talking heads. Just not a lot of them.

[@Kelphelp]

Appreciate the info! Thanks!

[@motterbe]

Hi! 👋 I was curious what your advice would be for a first playthrough of FO2 regarding mods. I don't have a lot of time for games and have a long list I'd like to play, so it might be my *only* playthrough as well. I'm thinking Talking Heads for sure, but I've seen various opinions on the Restoration Project vs just the Unofficial Patch Updated. If it matters I am not planning on stealing from people as I want to try to limit how much I reload from saves. I'm interested in like one longer, slower, careful playthrough. I'm excited for this game because so many people love it but only get one *first* playthrough. Any input would be appreciated, Thanks!

[@Kelphelp]

Hello there! Well I'll be quite honest my first playthrough was with these mods and had a wonderful time. I tried to curate mods that are a step above the vanilla.but never in any way deviating from the developers methods and play styles. It restored content that was missing all the while refining the gameplay. For me I have no reason to go back on FO2 without mods. And I just finished it completely. Wonderful game

[@motterbe]

@@Kelphelp Thanks! I'll post a comment after my playthrough :)

[@the1ucidone]

This is a wonderful tutorial video for modding Fallout 1 and 2. I never even knew there were mods for these games but it makes sense since the fanbase is so passionate. Thank you Kelphelp as always my dude.

[@Kelphelp]

I'm glad you loved it and found it interesting man. I'm still going through 2 but Jesus christ the story telling is incredible, and mods just make it much easier to play. Thanks for watching again man and Happy Turkey day!

[@MikaelHolmlund-i8w]

The people who don’t like Fallout 1 & 2 for any reason are just plain WRONG! 😆

[@Kelphelp]

Wouldn't go as far as to say that. Fallout 1 and 2's menu management and inventory are painfully archaic and even with some time to adjust its annanoyance. Looking beyond that prevents a very deep snd rich story line unparalleled to most Fallout games. But people are right to say the management is crap. It spoiled like milk these days

[@arshiaaghaei]

2:12 The Et Tu mod for FO1 isn't really buggy/outdated and can be a great experience for everyone. 3:05 Restoration Project is outdated, using Restoration Project Updated is recommended.

[@Ornal64]

I would love to see Fallout 1 and 2 remake

[@Kelphelp]

There's actually a mod in development that tries to remake all of Fallout 1 in the 4 engine. Really exciting to see it come together!

[@kissaninja9700]

@@Kelphelpthe very thought of remaking those games makes me feel sick. They will turn it into a first person shooter gallery. The first person view ruins every possible mechanic the old games have.

[@pedrofromrio645]

I highly recommend Fallout Fixt for Fallout 1. From my experience, it heavily improves the many bugs in the game, and although it can crash a lot, it is offset by save scumming. Honestly, if you don’t want Fallout Fixt, I would recommend downloading an ending patch and call it a day. All that matters is to make sure the endings don’t bug out. In the original, the endings for the Followers and the Hub are broken so make sure to get a patch for that.

[@Kelphelp]

That's pretty much why I didn't Include Fixt. It has so many crashes and bugs it's not worth it for people.

[@NephritduGrey]

For the armor mod, besides Lenny (and Marcus as well as the Dogs and Goris xD) the human NPC's could equip armor already in vanilla (iirc) just the mod enables the visuals to reflect the change in armor which is sweet. Also Fallout 2 Vanilla did have talking heads but as there's tons of NPC's which don't have one it gets noticed more and pulls a bit back the immersion, so the mod gives a lot of NPC's a talking head. Also also Fallout 1 and 2 are quite superior to Fallout 3 and 4 as to play Fallout in 3D felt weird initially if one comes from the Fallout 1 and 2 age of gamer. Same reason if they would do a remake I just hope they keep to isometric.

[@Kelphelp]

I wouldn't say they are better but very different titles. 1 and 2 focus in story and well developed characters, however the gameplay has not aged well and is pretty archaic. Inventory management is such a mess. 3 and New Vegas really make the experience better, and NV is the best combo of old and new mechanics. It's my personal favorite but does a great job respecting the lore that made 1 and 2 incredible.

[@NephritduGrey]

@@Kelphelp Hm, the turn based gameplay still works though, my only gripe would be the NPC's getting in the way of doorways etc. but Fallout 2 allows pushing them out of the way. For inventory management, well Bethesda games aren't exactly shiny examples of that because they have to account for the subpar Console market with their limitations (unlike the really good and visual one in Morrowind). That said Fallout 2 at least also has mods to give the same mechanics (the different "folders") as the Bethesda one so it's more manageable. Overall I'd agree with Fallout New Vegas as the best of both worlds (so far) to experience Fallout, well maybe with some/many mods to elevate it's graphics and QoL improvements.

[@YiddishDancingClown]

If you haven't played Wasteland 2, I highly recommend it. It's basically isometric Fallout 3.

[@TheFaithfulVegan]

[@Kelphelp]

I'll check em out too!

[@atreides6031]

Fallout 1in2 is such a great mod though. It adds so many QoL features and fixes so many bugs that calling it buggy feels a bit ironic to me. Highly recommended

[@Kelphelp]

What QoL features have been added? Very curious to know

[@Wiktorino1984]

I used Fallout 1in2 and got bugs in world encounters special they are coming too often, caravans in bandit fights not works. Its sad for me I rly wanted Fallout 1 in 2 experience.

[@Kelphelp]

Yea same tbh, but the amount of bugs in that didn't warrant a mention so I left it out for that reason

[@lowned4453]

a update for modlist at this video is a mod "Talking Heads Actually Talk", which adds voices for talking heads, this mod it's still on development, but is amazing

[@Kelphelp]

I'm very sure I mentioned that in the video

[@Thenonsocial]

FYI for anyone new here. Use RPU 30 (Restoration mod updated) not 29. High quality audio (not lossless) is included in RPU, High resolution textures is also included in addition to NPC Armor and Hero apperance. You only need to install RPU 30 and then the lossless audio + talking heads if you want them. PS: Et Tu for Fallout 1 works great, mui recommendo.

[@oneandy2]

I prefer the isometric view, honestly. I thought Fallout: Tactics was the best of the series in functionality (not story!)

[@Kelphelp]

Since it is the last iteration of the isometric titles it makes sense that the mechanics are the most refined, however they are still archaic to a certain degree. Adore the titles like crazy man

[@AnulaibazIV]

Recommends against FIXT. Yeah...this video is a moot-point.

Congratulations, you are the first person out of 20k+ to mention this. If it works for you cool man, it didn't work for my needs or the video, so I left it out.

[@PulledPurk]

@@Kelphelp Yes, just like you said. It's full of tips on how to use it, but not where to put it. It's probably so basic they don't mention it. I found a forum post that says to "place downloaded .gcd file into a new folder in the installation directory" but the mod I downloaded doesn't have a ".gcd file".

@@Kelphelp these are where they store settings and savedgames users documents users documents my games users Saved Games users appdata local users appdata locallow users appdata roaming users all users users public documents there is no way i can keep track of any of many games, finding each game's settings is so tiring if they use these directories other than their installed directories, i consider the games are garbage when i install or reinstall windows OS, i just copy old users dir(maybe from win 8.1 or XP or Win10) over new users dir and then the newly installed OS gets broken, then i reinstall windows OS with soft-reset this time without overwriting registries. this whole process was too risky, but worked so far i didnt find hidden corruptions

[@Kelphelp]

That's ...a really weird method of writing off games I still don't understand how a simple directory change can still be garbage. Whether in My Documents or in the install itself I wouldn't say it's trash either. If anything it shouldn't change much, and worst case scenario you can keep track of file paths by just using Notepad to copy them to find em if you forget. As for messing with the registeries, it is s different story but that essentially is a computer refresh, transferring directories and Local Windows App Data into another version of Windows. Its something I personally do daily and works without issue

[@abcdef2069]

@@Kelphelp because i cant keep track of all games, halo 2 uses 4 different users directories to save games and settings, are you sure if you can keep track of all your games? when you change OS or reinstall it?... ok maybe weird but to me, user interface is most important. i also severely write off console games pretending to be pc games, example resident evil 4, many like it, but to me, it takes 15 ~ 20 seconds to aim a zombie when you have only 0.1 seconds to deal with it, console's menu toggling is unacceptable in pc, using a pulldown menu for changing weapons or ammo or items or battle gears is unacceptable, when you have 1 2 3 4 5 .... or F1 F2 F3 ..... in pc... Local Windows App Data.... i did copy about 80%.. but settings and savedgames were spread all over the places, i couldnt keep track of last 20% so.. i decided to copy all at the end, which means possibly wrong files were also copied over to the new users, it is not like tens of games, if few100s all over the users directories, i start to bark.

If they remade Fallout 2 into Fallout Tactics engine or some 3D isometric engine with remade & added talking heads, optional co-op, and perhaps optional matrix style continuous turn-based bullet time combat system where more agile characters would move a bit faster yet at the same time as opponents but you can stop bullet time at any moment to think about tactics and give orders to your companions without rush, I would happily buy it again. While I appreciate the modding community and their effort to make Fallout 2 into 3D FPS RPG in the Fallout 4 engine, the game was just not made for it from the start, not to mention that the AI of companions and opponents in 3D games tends to be rather awful even in small numbers. Realistically, a well-made Fallout 2 remake would still likely sell over one million copies even if made only for PC and could be done within one year including high-quality video sequences.

[@Kelphelp]

First off thank you so much for the super chat it's extremely appreciated man!! I would love to see 2 with Tactics mechanics on how thr game runs, while I haven't played much of Tactics would love to see those improvements.

Fixt also fixes many bugs and broken quests and restores some cut content .. stuff like that. Including .. a timer for the mutants taking over this or that town :) Go on .. let them conquer just a few towns for the gunfighting :) This invasion calendar was originally intended, but was cut because it made the game "too hard" .. but youre hardcore you can handle it Im sure ..

there's 2 ways of making fallout better. 1) uninstall fallout3/nv/4/76 2) install fallout and fallout 2 or watch the series

[@WilliamScavengerFish]

Yes, the fallout games (the real fallout games) aren't for everyone, and that's a good thing. Tailoring a game to the lowest common denominator doesn't mean the game is going to be good. Tetris work, and that was truly accessible to anyone. That is one of the exceptions.
