No idea if this belongs in the GOG thread, but it's related to GOG. I own Fallout 2(multiple times, actually.) I have no idea where my physical copies are, lost long ago. I have both a Steam and a GOG copy. But here's the rub: they both aren't the exact files that were contained on the disks. I can tell because they contain shit like the highres patch, sfall, etc.,

Where would could I obtain an exact copy of what was on the FO2 disk + the last official patch released?
Again, not piracy because I own the game, I just want a version that hasn't been tampered with...

This is the top-level directory of a fresh GOG FO2 install:

I could rip my discs, but then I'd have to plug in a disc reader lol

For the occasion of the Bethesda Publisher Sale, we asked a couple of our teammates at GOG about their favourite games from this publisher, and why they loved those titles, or what made them special to them. Below, you can read the second entry (first one is here), from our QA Tester, Rostyslav Chystoserdov.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion happened to be the first TES game I’ve ever played and completely fell in love with. It came out when I was in sixth grade, had a potato PC, and no internet. Unsurprisingly, my PC couldn’t handle the game and it ran extremely badly, but a good friend of mine came to the rescue and found some tips on the Web on how to lower the graphics even below the available settings.


After tweaking the configuration parameters we managed to make the game playable and the result was “stunning”: the game had no trees, grass, shadows, or other visual effects (such as fire) and all dungeons were bright as day, but it still managed to blow my mind. A fascinating story, a spectacular setting, numerous well-written side quests, and one of the best soundtracks I’ve ever heard in any game to this day – that clearly was love at first sight.


It goes without saying that I spent a tremendous amount of time in Oblivion and highly recommend everyone to do the same thing, especially if their rig is better than my good old potato PC from 2006. Oh, and make sure to hear of the High Elves.
