Fallout Fallout: Last Hope- A new Fallout 2 mod that just came out

[Nm6k]

Just noticed while digging though NMM that a new TC mod for Fallout 2 came out a few months ago. Have not played it yet so I can't speak to it's quality https://www.nma-fallout.com/resources/last-hope-mod.146/

It's old but it had a new patch a couple of months ago. However it still needs bug fixing, at least that's the impression I get.

 

[NecroLord]

Looks interesting.
Probably best to wait for a patch or two to come in though.

There's a let's play on YouTube done by Quantum Apprentice, for people wondering how the mod is like (it's an older version that was removed by the creator, tho. So a 100% accurate showcase, it is not).

If you play it, you may want to report any bugs found during your playthrough, so that Forgotten Knight can squash them.

Is the mod any good?
Is it on par with the likes of Nevada?

There-

I didn't sink my teeth into this videogame, so for the sake of fairness I'll refrain from posting a verdict for Fallout: Last Hope.
I feel such a post would be invalidated by this fact, as I didn't play enough of it.

That's without competition the worst tutorial sequence in any Fallout game or mod I've seen yet.

Actually worse than the Temple of Trials?

 

[blessed king of longing]

i've played this, it sucked. figuring out what to do for quests was very boring/difficult and you're stuck way too long in the same location. skip this one.

The temple of trials takes somewhere between 2 and 5 minutes.


Is this actually playable without gamebreaking bugs?

Right off the bat you are forced into an unarmed boss fight that progresses into a melee fight. No speech or steal check or anything else. You get 1 healing powder. The other rooms have about as many unnecessary radscorps and ants as the temple.

Damn.
The mod maker really didn't think this through, did he?

There are two kinds of temple of trials players:
1) Omg this 7 minute dungeon is too long,
2) I disarmed every single trap, killed all the ants and scorpions, and used medicine/doctor on myself to reach level 3 before returning to Arroyo.

Stuff like this should be on the front page regardless. But alas, it is reserved for mainstream garbage, Obsidian, and games which aren't even RPGs.

With low Unarmed/Melee it takes way too long to kill every one of the critters...
I take the middle road, trying to kill the ants/scorpions that get in my way, but avoiding the ones that are not in my way.

3)The whole temple took 3 minutes because I ran away from everything.

I played it for a few hours today since I was doomed about sonora not working.


It's bad, like really really bad. Won't bother going back to it, I would legitimately rather play fallout 3 again.

What's the worst thing about it?

They added some weird field of view mechanic where you can't see anyone inside rooms or buildings or around corners. It's weird. There's also a shitty hunger and thirst mechanic but I'm not sure if it even does anything I wasn't able to drink the water I had.

That's mod stuff but everything else seems poorly designed.

How is that hunger and thirst mechanic even implemented in the first place?
I would imagine you lose endurance and other attributes if you are severely dehidrated and hungry, right? That's how I would implement it, at least.

I lost an action point when I became thirsty, but like I said I had a few water flasks in my inventory and wasn't able to drink or use them.

Guess it needs some patches first, then.

Yes.

It being at the front page will make more people try it.

Then people could report the bugs they found and their suggestions

Then modmaker could use this input to fix/improve the mod

We don't have influence on major developers, but in such projects we can play a sizeable role

Um what? IIRC if you do every trap, kill all enemies and use first aid/doctor on yourself until exhausted you'll get ~1300XP in total. +600XP for bypassing the dude at the end, not nearly enough to reach level 3. The best you can do is level up before fighting the dude. Please say you were exaggerating because if not I've been playing this game wrong for the last 20 years.

Field of view sounds good though.
