The purpose of this project is to add back into Fallout 2 all the missing content (locations, NPCs, quests, items, etc.) that were pulled or left unfinished in the original game. This expansion attempts to stay true to what made Fallout great and thus the new content to find is not something that felt like it would be cool to see, but rather a reality of what the original developers wanted. Now updated and managed by a new mod maintainer.
Found on GitHub page. Developed by Burner1024.
Visit it more details, elaborate changelog, FAQ, and feedback.
This is the updated unofficial Fallout 2 expansion based on Killap's v2.3.3 work, before the original author disappeared from the face of the Earth. Well known and famous, somehow its updated revision didn't end on ModDb for some reason, but now it's here and it's only going to get better.
Works with Steam/GOG/retail releases of Fallout 2 of any version (it itself includes all the (un)official patches and is cumulative).
To install, launch the installer and point to Fallout 2's (clean) installation directory, select the desired language, and then launch the game as usual.
Starting a new game is obligatory.
But what is new on it?
Mom!!!
Why this weird guy on the Internet implies I can look up the changelog for myself, and the link to it is in the file's description?
lmao
i get an error saying it`s not a valid win32 application. i would guess it`s for 64 bit windows. anybody know how to extract the exe and install manually? UniExtract program maybe? guess i`ll go back to V1.5 for now.
You might be able to unpack the executable installer with 7 Zip program. Or try VMware to try to install it on your computer?
Also, it indeed might be not compatible with 32 bit Windows or Windows emulations, since the executable was compiled with newer versions of installer scripts.
I thought when I went to the file page I could find a readme.
Ok, maybe if I download the file I'll get a readme.
Ok, maybe if I extract the archive I'll get a readme.
Ok, maybe if I run the exe I'll get a readme.
Only after backing up my entire install and then running the installer did I finally got a readme.
This is extremely poor design and I'm amazed that anyone who'd make such an obvious mistake would be competent to create a mod. I hope you step on a lego.
You know that everything about this mod (changelog, installation, and else) is on its GitHub page, right? Or are you at -1 Perception in S.P.E.C.I.A.L.?
"Well known and famous, somehow its updated revision didn't end on ModDb for some reason"
That's because Killap, the person who made the Restoration Patch and only the author made updates to the mod, sadly no longer works here anymore. (Last online was a decade ago.)
