I just played through Et Tu last week and enjoyed it greatly. I definitely think it’s worth it just for the benefits to companion AI. I also got a special world encounter where
you go through a portal and get teleported to the ToT right after the Chosen One finished it and get talked to by your granddaughter.
was setting up the latest release's ddraw and looking into how the mods are set up - noticed that fo1_classic_worldmap is commented in though it's not actually included in the mods folder, and searching what the deal might be led me to a reddit thread that was also griping over a related matter (something about WorldMapFontPatch fixing the issue)
on the other hand, InventoryAPcosts is included in the mods folder but is not set up in ddraw
edit: yeah, now I see what was meant
enabling GVAR_ENABLE_FO2_WORLDMAP in fo1_settings doesn't actually show location names on the world map unless you enable WorldMapFontPatch in ddraw
Added: Footsteps mod is added as a new mini-mod to the release package. Disabled by default.
Added: Optional "Vault 15 Rework" mini-mod that replaces the V15 entrance maps with a lore friendly blend of the Fo1 and Fo2 version.

Added: Flares will now spawn randomly at some merchants if the merchant restocking feature has been enabled.
Added: Jack from Junktown can now be found as a Khan prisoner if cut-content characters are enabled. He can only be found there if Tandi wasn't kidnapped yet.

Fixed: Keri in the Hub wasn't using the sex-macro for tracking the players sex-level.

Fixed: Starting and ending combat in Hub Downtown would make a hooker go mad.
Fixed: Tag skills item calculation on game start wasn't always working correctly (issues in vanilla Fo1 and with Fixt changes). Replaced complicated calculations with Fo2 is_skill_tagged script command.

Sitting on this update for a while already, decided to release it now else I'm going to sit on it even longer.
Not much to say this time. The footprints mod is in a state now where it isn't just an experiment, so I've decided to put it directly into the release build. Also there's a new optional "Vault 15 Rework" mini-mod, which merges the Fallout 2 V15 style into the original Fo1 style V15 location. It's pretty much just a map replacer and does nothing more than looking slightly different. Keep in mind that Fo2 is set 80 years after the first game, so even though it's in similar style now, it's not a 1:1 Fo2 map recreation (it wouldn't make any sense).
Other than that, lots of fixes, some balance tweaks, and more toggle options in the fo1_settings.ini file so that you have more freedom in deciding what you want to have in your game.
It's advised to start a new game. Actually I'm not sure if old savegames are loading anyways with this update. While at it, best to delete your existing files and do a clean install with this version.
Also, keep in mind that mods-handling has been changed in latest Sfall versions. Check the \mods\mods_order.txt file to enable/disable mods.
Tell them tough, that’s how it is in the fully patched game.
Imo, the default configuration of et tu should as closely match TeamX 1.3.5 patched F1 as possible. Fuck the cry babies, the timer is part of the experience.

An authoritative source claims that 1.1 removed the 500 day limit (not just the mutant invasions that happen along the way) and gave it a 13 year time limit. Have you actually experienced a game over after 500 days with 1.1?
You can waste up to 250 days just to finish the water chip quest. After that it's only 250 days left + maybe less if you were stupid and talked about V13 with everyone + used the CoC healer service. If you keep randomly running over the worldmap to farm encounter for some reason, it's not that impossible to reach. But yeah, everyone who knows the game should be able to finish it in like... I dunno... 200 days max, if you are slow.
And yes, base game has the V13 timer removed as well, so now it's pretty much just the same. If you want it back, you can easily re-enable it in the fo1_settings.ini file.

I'll retort - have you? links are easy, lets go with first-hand experience.
1.1 isn't the most recent official game version either, take a look
FALLOUT Version 1.0 (19 Sep 1997) [US]
FALLOUT Version 1.0 (29 Sep 1997) [US]
FALLOUT Version 1.1 (09 Nov 1999) [US]
FALLOUT Version 1.2 (19 Nov 1997) [UK]
FALLOUT Version 1.2 (1x Mar 1998) [UK/FR/SP]
The UK got the most updated code-base with the 1.2 version, but there was never an official patch released to update the US versions to this. This versioning made modding a game with international fans such a pain in the ass, TeamX released a so-called english 1.2.1 RC patch with the intent of providing a common base-line for modding that takes the most recent official code-base and applies it to all versions - while also enabling kids and other shit that some of the EU versions had censored.
TeamX 1.2.1 RC patch description said:
Primary objective of this patch is to give english speaking users the most complete compilation of the official fixes from the different revisions of the game. Secondary objective is to provide the unified Fallout-modding platform for further development.
If you want to claim there is no 500 day invasion, install it and give it a go. I have a modded 1.3.5 version that isn't suitable for testing.
aside: for those who are just interested in this topic, TeamX continued to patch (not mod) Fallout 1, with their culmination being TeamX's 1.3.5. I think/hope Lexx built upon their work, but as I don't believe sduibek did and et tu used fixt as a base, Lexx would have had to manually merge all their fixes.
What is this about a time limit? Does the game end when you get the water-chip?
There is a time limit in the game for the water-chip. You must recover the water-chip within 150 game days. Most people have found that this is ample time, and there are even ways of increasing the limit. The game does not end when the water-chip is returned. There is another time limit, but there are ways around that as well. That time limit is 500 days (400 days if you use the Hub Water Merchants.) The 1.1 Patch removes the second time limit.
What a noob. Buying water from the water merchants only reduces the timer by 90 days and not 100!
Code:
if (global_var(GVAR_VAULT_13_INVADED_DATE) >= 100) then begin
set_global_var(GVAR_VAULT_13_INVADED_DATE, global_var(GVAR_VAULT_13_INVADED_DATE) - 90);
end

You're the one who made the claim "that’s how it is in the fully patched game" contrary to every other source and apparently without any first-hand knowledge.
