If you were a fan of the original Fallout series, you already know Mark Morgan, one of the most unique composers of the 90s. His soundtrack for Fallout 1/2 has already status of a classic masterpiece in the game OST genre.
Today I would like to introduce you to [Andrew Lahiff]
. He makes exceptionally good space ambient tracks that sometimes resemble the atmosphere of Fallout.
Just listen to these tracks:
So you want to do a deep dive into the best RPG game of all time and don’t know how do it in a right way in 2023? You’ve come to the right place, coz unlisted slacker knows precisely what you need to do in the first place.
Here is a breakdown list of what you need to do to run Fallout 2 buttery smooth:
grab original [Fallout 2]
distribution from GOG [latest version 2.
► QUICK LIST ON WHY I THINK SO:
made in golden time of game industry [late 90s] TOTALLY NON-LINEAR INSANE REPLAYABILITY immersive post-apocalyptic setting and overall vibe impressive concoction of RPG and quest genres best soundtrack in game industry, thanks to incredibly perceptive [Mark Morgan]
► HOW ABOUT SOME CONS?
Franchise is pretty buggy due to it’s complexity. But we already have [FIXT]
mod for [Fallout 1]
and [RPU]
for [Fallout 2]
.
Is an ambitious project to replicate Fallout 1 world using Fallout 4 engine. Currently game in it’s early stage of development, but location of Shady Sands was already showcased to the public.
Developers intend to redo original voice-over because of copyright trademarks. Moreover they are trying to copy voice aesthetics as close as possible to original Fallout 1. Also you can already preview multiple soundtracks created by [Radiofloyd]
.
As for me, I really like what they are doing, despite the fact that I’m not fond of Fallout 3/4.

There are three main configuration files, which are controlling Fallout engine.
ddraw.ini ◄ main configuration file f2_res.ini ◄ settings for high resolution patch fallout2.cfg ◄ classic settings file from 90s [preserved for compatibility almost depricated for now] Here i’ll mention the most important setttings, which can come in handy for almost every Fallout player out there. Provided tweaks will be useful not only for essential [Fallout 2 Restoration Project]

My favorite game of all times. Thanks to it I’ve learn English [to some kind of degree] and even was almost expelled from university. What a neat memories. I was totally obsessed with deep “in game” atmosphere. Cyberpunk post-apocalyptic stuff, you know what I’m saying and those incredible ambient from master [Mark Morgan]
. Can firmly confirm that modern series of this franchise don’t provide such immersion. As for backdrop music, Mark Morgan in Fallout ½ set quality bar to unreachable level.
