The beauty of this game is that it doesn’t require an insane hardware configuration.
All you need is a decent Core Duo CPU from 2013, 512 MB of RAM, 800x600 resolution screen and
most importantly a modern SSD to eliminate loading times.
That’s it. Almost any computer meets such requirements these days.
- no shooting weapons / only unarmed
- Sulik as an inventory mule
- hard game/combat difficulty

The game is very buggy due to its complexity and the very many things you can do in it, so save often.
Make it a habit to create a backup save after entering new location and before taking important actions or engaging in conversation,
as the game may crash. Doing so you will save yourself from unneeded headaches.
Note that the original patch, v1.02, has a lot more bugs, so installing the [Restoration Project Update]
is essential
to greatly improving the overall game experience.
DO I MENTION TO SAVE OFTEN?
Here is a list of miscellaneous patches that I used during my playthrough:
- [SFALL ENGINE] ► heavily modernized Fallout engine
- [SFALL CONFIGURATOR] ► GUI frontend tool to customize sFALL engine
- [ENHANCED INVENTORY] ► modernize your inventory experience
- [CONVENIENT TWEAKS] ► subtle, but very handy quality of life features
- [LOSSLESS MUSIC] ► soundtrack by [Mark Morgan] in lossless quality
- [ORIGINAL] ► the most comprehensive Fallout 2 guide on the web
- [RESTORATION] ► guide to extended content added in the Restoration Project
- [FALLOUT PERKS] ► very useful info considering Fallout perk system
