Just a heads up, ‘Good Old Games’ doesn’t actually exist anymore, it’s just ‘gog.com’ now.

Anyway, downloading it now, hope this is a good game.

@2 I think it’s a lot worse than that. You need a brain.

I have the Fallout Collection on disc, had a bit of trouble getting it to run properly, should really go back to it.

Is the gog version fully patched up etc?

@5 I’m not sure what they’re running, but I had Fallout 2 installed and fully patched within minutes.

It also had a guide for the first one.

The GOG community is a lot like Steam, and you can always count on the relevant stickies being in place with games like these.

You could probably just install off those discs (I got that collection too) and then patch it up. But it’s free, so I guess it would actually be faster to sign up at GOG.

There is a site called “Not Mutants Allowed”, or just nma. Here you can get unoficial patches, hotfixes and general improvments to the game.
