Olympus 2207, which is a total conversion for Fallout 2, updated yesterday with an English localization. Here's some juice on what we've been missing not speaking Russian:

• Choose a skin color instead of a gender. This affects possible ways of solving some quests.
• The S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system is modified. Changes include: rebalancing the influence of characteristics and skills on gameplay, the skill “Gambling” is replaced by “Casanova” – the ability to convince women, the perk “Sexual Attraction” is replaced by “Mechanical Memory” – automatic growth of skills depending on their use. (The rights to the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. role system belong to their owners.)
• Three stages in the life of the main character: age 7, age 17, age 20. The first two stages are tutorial and can be skipped.
• Crafting system.
• Build weapons from parts using workbenches. Keep in mind that there is no wear and tear of equipment in the game.
• Mini-game for hacking electronic panels. Way to go if your electronics hacking skill is too low, or if you want to gain additional experience.
• Simulation of the life of the NPC.
• No “Main Quest”. You choose your own goal in the game! Do you want to become the tyrant of Radius, or do you want to improve the lives of everyone in it? The choice is yours!

Stages of life can be a fairly interesting thing in a game, though I'm not sure there's much "stage of life" difference between 17 and 20. At least, not as dramatic as the difference between 7 and 17.

Thanks, FEDSMOKER!
