Fallout Fallout: Sonora - new Fallout mod from the Fallout: Nevada team

[Sratopotator]

Yeah, 960 x 540 (for 16:9) and 960 x 600 (16:10) is certainly the way to go with Fallout and its mods.

 

[Cpt. Dallas]

you must save all of the villagers. The last of them - your dad - is slaving away in Two Suns (Tucson).

I bum rushed down there and found him, just to check, but have nowhere the level or equipment to get him out.
Doing Rangers, V27 and Casa Grande and hope the clock doesn't run out.

Spoiler

I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to nuke the cult.

 

[Cpt. Dallas]

I found some additional untranslated sections, unfortunately in the main quest during the Villa council, but it's possible to click through the 'error' choices.

The quest timer is fairly limiting. Normally the vehicle would fix this, but short of dumping every spare point into steal, I'm not seeing a good way to get it without agroing the entire bandit base.

BTW, has anyone completed the greenhouse quest without destroying it? WTF do you use the pesticide on?

Edit: It's nothing in the greenhouse, as expected, but the water tank in the agave field.

 

[Cpt. Dallas]

Even with translation by Google, this is some quality Fallout. At the very least, it's more in character and lacks some of the weirdness of the other 3 mods (1.5, Nevada, Olympus).

Worst case scenario (translation lead doing it alone)- before 2024



Edit: Also some recent info about Sonora update which includes Dayglow

I'll ask here. If i am to play one of 1.5 or Nevada, which one i should pick? What's the Codex Consensus(tm) on them?

Skip 1.5, the writing is childish and the conclusion is retarded.

Spoiler

WE WUZ GHOULZ!! AND SHIT

Nevada writing is a bit messy and has pacing issues but it's ignorable, the rest of the game is better than F2 at times.

 

[Feyd Rautha]

Fallout: Nevada is superb.

 

[Alphons]

Skip 1.5, the writing is childish and the conclusion is retarded.

It's still worth playing in my opinion.

It's only slightly longer than 1 and has an amazing amount of C&C. Has actually difficult encounters, some of the most interactive companions, a bunch of fun new items (my favourite grenade launchers) and some of the most memorable quests.

Also saying that the conclusion is retarded, when the Nevada has literally

Spoiler

a regenerating wizard with an army of clones that's part of yet another secret cabal in the pre-war government that uses a steady supply of clones from Vault 8 and mind transfer to live forever.

 

[Cpt. Dallas]

A partially fleshed out wiki:
https://fallout-sonora.fandom.com/ru/wiki/Fallout:_Sonora_Wiki

I finished the game at level 20. I ended up getting the final 'timer warning' long after freeing the last of the villagers and doing later Villa and other miscellaneous quests, to no effect. I don't know if at any point the timer ends the game for you, say if you ignore the rescue missions. The game ends when you destroy one of two dominant factions, ally with the other, and report back. I haven't tried destroying both.

It's definitely worth a play, but since they are still adding content/locations it may pay off to wait longer for an official translation.

If you're going to play rifles (and there are no usable 'big' guns that I found in this version) make sure to take a STR of 6. Energy can get by with a 4, even with the OP plasma rifle, and it's viable as there is a starter energy pistol in the first town out. You will need the points for everything, so take Fast Learner and Educated.

Edit: You can wipe out both BOS and Rangers and it's the best ending for your home town.

As I mentioned the story is ignorable in Nevada because there's so much to do in it, and the worst crime it commits is pulling the amnesia card for the opener - really cheap gimmick, if you're a writer, do not do this ever.

There are no hard combats in Nevada. Most enemies come at you with light weapons and little to no armor. In Resurrection however there are quite a few challenging encounters.

But that's also the story in Resurrection?

You wake up with amnesia, ghouls/ guy in purple robe and his henchmen in combat armour want to kill you for some reason, but you don't find out why before the end.

I'd argue story is more forced in Nevada as you're forced to track Jay Kukish, while Resurrection lets you go wherever you want.

Then 1.5 is even worse than I remember, it was so forgettable

 

[Cpt. Dallas]

If there's a 'downside' to Sonora is that they took all the settings and themes from the first two games and scrambled them like refrigerator poetry magnets, and then sprinkled Mexican hot sauce on it with a side of refried beans and pico.

There's a ship, but the BOS is on it. There is a mutated scientist and an experiment gone wrong. Slavers. Cannibals. A mine. Ghouls running a reactor for you to repair. You can blow up an oil platform or the religious cult sitting over a vault with a nuke. etc, etc.

I think 1.5 writing is tighter, the mainquest of Fallout of Nevada is kinda messy, especially at the end.

I think the big issue with 1.5's main quest is that the MQ is practically all in the last town.

Update from Black Designer himself

https://www.nuclear-city.com/index.php/topic/977-fallout-sonora-новости-обсуждение/page-34

It's no longer a secret that the addition is about Daylight (San Diego and its environs). A large location with 10 districts, and almost all of them have 3 levels. Of these 10, 2 + about 25% of the events remained. But everything is going very slowly and hard.

Plus there'll be a new update for Sonora with some fixes, new visual effects, previously cut quest and new events happening after achieving certain endings.

Most likely, next week we will post update 1.10 (and the add-on will be separate). For now, you can read the list of changes.

Spoiler

Any news on English version?

 

[Alphons]

Actually yes- they're on "advanced stage" of translation, more than half is done and some of the idle team members started revising and correcting files translated at the beginning.

No concrete dates.

From the changelog on Discord it looks like they're currently revising 1st town after the starting village (Garage City).

Who's doing the translation? Can't find anything on devs' pages.

Last post in this thread should have a Discord invite that still works.

Fan effort like Nevada and Olympus translations.

Thanks for the link, I'll see if I can help them come July

If anyone's interested I have decided to test Google Translator and translated the Sonora Bible and compendium of cut content for Nevada.
Read the Nevada entirely, but only the first location of Sonora to avoid spoilers and it's an alright translation.

Fallout: Sonora v1.10 (without sfall, hrp, etc.) from mail.ru.

Update 1.10 is available on the website.

I'll post it later. Until you see how it works.



Found bugs were fixed, graphics improved and supplemented, the detective quest on the Platform was completed, the level with the hangar in Tucson was completed, a new video with the ship explosion was made, centipedes were spitting on the world map, and other minor changes.



And this is probably the last patch.
