>slow walkspeed I set "Always run" flag in ingame options >switching between command / clicking mods constantly Numerical keys for skills, item usage doesn't happen often so it isn't an issue. >slow combat Speed Enemy/Player movement scrolling bar in ingame options. >non instant worldmap movement I use imagination to "see" how my guy has hardships navigating the world. >difficulty stemming from knowledge based trial and error in stead of strategy and or tactics Can I do this? Yes? I do this. No? I come back later. Hard random/fixed encounters? Level outdoorsman/throw plasma grenades. Made a stupid mistake? Reload. Nothing else ever bothered me. >what am I missing? Crashes. Play fan-patched/expanded version.

It's all bullshit and you are mentally handicapped zoomer. Here's some real criticism: >No control over the rest of the party >No stealth (no, it really doesn't work, I mean it) >Illusory playthrough for non- Arnie characters >The game offers you several ways to access the two critical locations, only to force you to become an unstoppable killing machine with turbo plasma rifle and powered armor As for the combat, it was broken. Turn based combat was wasted for the most simple, braindead formula of shoot - get shot - use stimpack. The combat in Fallout Tactics was bad, but it was still 100 times better done than Fallout. The mechanics of aimed attacks was completely broken- the enemy gets crippled ONLY if you manage to get a critical hit, and even then it's a probability. So I hit the enemy in arm 10 times, but I can't get him crippled because no critical hit. What's the point? The game was released in the same year as Jagged Alliance 2 and Deus Ex, for fuck sake. Then, all enemies are bullet sponges and all firearms deal laughably small damage. I made once a mod where guns were worth less than junk, ammo was heavy and expensive, while firearm damage was DEADLY. The game suddenly turned into an unholy mix of Dark Souls and slaughterhouse, unfair and frustrating but way more fun than the OG.

Didn't feel slow to me, which for example BG1 does, the pace is comfortable. It's addictive to explore the screens, scavenge and harvest the enemies.

the game isnt that long so the tedium isnt a big deal.

Anon02/14/26, 12:02No.3927625

I don't care what this game says, war most certainly does change. War is constantly changing, and those who cannot keep up will loseGod what a stupid quote. And I hate that people worship it like it's something deep

>"Reasons and means may change but the end result is always conflict" >eeeeeeeeerm did you have drone warfare back then when you said that????

Set it to the highest speed and also use SFall to make it even faster when necessary.

Anon02/20/26, 06:58No.3931994

I use sfall and play at 500% speed

It's old as shit dingus, we'll be coming up on 30 years shortly. Old games lacked QOL shit we've come to expect.

I enjoy the tedium. OP, you have ADHD, get some help you spastic and learn to enjoy going slow.

Anon02/24/26, 03:06No.3934079

The demo was so much slower. I'm glad it wasn't like that at release. It was kind of like they meant it to be a realistic/hardcore recreation of the real worrld but in a game, so people kind of moved at "normal" speed, which is slow as fuck when playing the game. But yeah, people might not get the same experience as I did, playing with my 486, that I wasn't quite sure was just a piece of crap and thats why it was running so slow, or the game was bad, but I was young at the time and there weren't very many PC games to act as a benchmark of quality, so you kind of just accepted what you got when it came to dos+ games.

>>non instant worldmap movement Why would you want to miss the random encounters and special encounters anyway

Anon03/04/26, 00:50No.3938722

>slow walkspeed I press the speed multiplier button that I mapped in my ddraw.ini to not have this problem. idk OP this might be a skill issue

Anon03/05/26, 13:38No.3939489

So apparently the rate of random world encounters is tied to your framerate. On my 165hz monitor the game is literally unplayable, as soon as I click anywhere on the world map I get a random encounter. How the FUCK do I fix this. Capping my framerate doesn't seem to work, the game is too old and shit

This games pacing is one of its strongest aspect. If you're being filtered by that, im afraid you have crippling retardation. Thankfully Bethesda made Fallout 3 for people like you, FAGGOT.

>SFall Fixes a lot of things from the hardware limitations. It's the only mod you really need, but Fallout Fixit is what you should consider. Then just customize which mods get installed.

Anon03/09/26, 21:37No.3941602

Fallout seems jank until you play an even older RPG like Pool of Radiance where you have to use number keys to scroll through menus and the enter key isn't used to confirm selections. You'll be begging for simple convenience of just being able to click on things again.
