Filters retards

Filtering journos Ben Shapiro style

It was a section of the game you were supposed to play through

a retarded tutorial

Filter Feeder.

Making my quit this piece of shit in 15 minutes.

Tutorial to filter brainlets

Tutorial, although i don't get why people hate it so much, you can complete it in 2 minutes if you sneak past the ants

Nigger filter.

to punish players if they didn't invest in melee, unarmed, or throwing

Someone pre war.

Those graphics are gorgeous.

Can you play these games with input character movement? I fucking HATE point and click to move controls

I didn't finish. I died to a shitty ant and didn't even try anymore because I could tell the game is outdated garbage for boomers.

Go with unarmed, it will help you out in reno and SF. As soon as you get sulik give him the sharpened spear until you get the sledge hammer and he'll be knocking everything smaller than a super mutant on its ass every turn.

If you had high enough speech or charisma you could literally just tell the dude not to fight you

god

>I shouldn't die to enemies in a game
What sort of pussy logic is this?

>I died to a shitty ant
Dude just punch it LMAO.

>miss
>miss

mongoloid game

i have only heard people complain about it here. Granted, I haven't talked to a lot of people who have even played FO2, but nobody I have talked to in person even mentioned the temple.

It's just a tutorial. I don't get what pisses people off about it.

I think you can use arrow keys, but since you're on hexes its easier to just use the mouse.
If you have a pirated copy, or an electronic version from GOG you'll want to download the keyboard shortcut card just to streamline everything.

Why the fuck did you play Fallout 2 and not Fallout 1?

>"This game is shit because i say so and this other one is better because i say so"
Ok, serious question

What the fuck happened to this site that everyone is incapable of using the words "I don't like it"

It's not just the Temple of Trials, the whole Arroyo section is a boring tutorial honestly, it gets you a level if you play your cards right. You can actually sneak past the ants and steal the key under a minute or two

>can't into stats and tags

it must hurt being this retarded

Use spear, or kick. The two ants in the beggining are easily one or two shot
If you don't have good melee you should have good sneak and you could just sneak past them.

If you have an endurance of at least 5 you basically can't die.

>sneak
I doubt anyone's Sneak is high enough to do that
Just running by them is enough (but slow because you have to wait for everyone's turn :))

sneak works a lot of the time even if you don't tag it, more people should know this

Just metagame. Everything has action points. If you punch the ant ONCE and use the rest of your AP to run away, then the ant burns up all of its points moving to your position, and doesn't have enough points left to attack.
Since it has no ranged attack you've become effectively invulnerable. You'll miss a lot, and run around in circles, but you'll get to the final chamber without taking more than a few points of damage, exactly enough to heal back with first aid and doctor skills, giving you enough EXP to level up inside the temple.

this I snuck out of the mob bosses room after I fucked his daughter and I had bad sneak. Just stayed near the walls
took like 3 tries though before I realized to stay next to the walls

You can not tag skill and if you are at least 3-4 squares away from the ants they literally can't see you and you can end combat, i've done it plenty of times

Most people turn on "always run" as soon as they know they can, and so sneak becomes useless unless you're a smart enough dude to use "shift" to toggle walk, or get the perk in case you wanted to waste a perk. for RP purposes.

SpoonyOne filter.

The areas outside of this aren't any better in the beginning honestly. The first part of Fallout 2 is a slog that is best skipped or done by doing the bare minimum to complete quests. If you play like a completionist you're going to be spending god knows how long killing geckos and rats.

the ants are the easiest thing in the game to sneak by, I think they might be blind or close to it. You definitely do not need to tag sneak to sneak by them. Even if they do detect you, you can run and if you are far enough you can just end the combat and they go back to being retarded and blind.

I level up outdoorsman so i can at least get to Vault City without much of a hassle

I think the problem is you don't get a real gun until the den, you can get the pipe rifle in vic's if you can pick the lock, but that thing is a piece of shit. At least in the original you start out with the 10mm pistol.
If you play a female character named "buffy" there is an easter egg in the den where you get a free submachine gun, leather armor, and some chemicals, which is useful early on (and since then its become tradition to play as buffy in every FO game since).
Also if you can get down to redding early there is a hunting rifle and double barrel shotgun in the sheriffs office.

Best early gun in my opinion is the .44 magnum. It fucks up the golden geckos and regular geckos without wasting too much ammo. Going to the Den and killing Flick to loot his corpse of goodies like the 44 is a family tradition.

To enforce a tutorial on the player. This was Interplay's decision for some reason. Also it serves to filter bad builds and people who don't know what the hell to do.

all you need to do for fallout 2's shit early game is tag melee or unarmed

>Liking Oblivion with guns and no magic
Shittier your taste can't go further with something like that.

>it serves to filter bad builds
I don't know about that since this thread shows you can get through it with just about any build.
If you're playing a high intelligence speech character you can run past all the ants and scorpions and talk your way out of the fight at the end.
All it really does is frustrate newer players.

>All it really does is frustrate newer players.
New players should play FO1 first.

Yeah well nigger, wake me up when this is a perfect world.

I beat the temple when I was ~10 years old and didn't understand english. If you have problems with it you are legit low iq.

Flick is a useful vendor in the early game though, you've just got to deal with those little kids in front of all the shops.
My favorite was using an editor to change your throwing stat to 300 and crippling their limbs and blinding them from across the map with rocks.
You won't kill them, and you're far enough away they won't go agro on your (even if they do just leave town for a few days) they will regenerate their health, but not restore their limbs or eyes, which means they have a huge negative towards their chance to pickpocket. You avoid pissing off the town and getting the child killer in your karma.

>that feeling when I completely missed fallout on gog
I still have the games but now I need to dig them up whenever I want to install them.

But that was the game my friend gifted for my birthday and I don't want ask him for more

Killing Flick is no big deal, you can still use Tubbs in the same town as a vendor. Killing Flick gives you such a huge leg up, I do it every single time no matter what. Sometimes I even kill the New Reno Arms guy, depends on how I'm feeling. It's some real greaseball shit.

They got it back.
