Ardent's Fallout 2 Mod

<strong>[ Mod -> Preview ]</strong> - More info on <a href="http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Ardent's Fallout 2 Mod">Mod: Ardent's Fallout 2 Mod</a>

<p>First saw this one when <strong>Briosafreak</strong> posted the gallery on Facebook, and it looks like the promising Fallout mod out there at the moment if only because there's an actual playable demo. It's called <strong>Ardent's Fallout 2 Mod</strong>, and <a href="http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewto ... >here's</a> the scoop:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em><span>Hello, everybody!

The time has come to announce the mod I have been working on for almost a year now. Since I'm doing it mostly solo, it's called simply <span style="font-weight: bold;">Ardent's Fallout 2 Mod</span>.

It is a total conversion mod, so it contains a new storyline, new NPCs, new towns, etc. The action takes place a few years after the events of Fallout 2 in the today's states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho.

You start out as a bartender in a bar called "Vault 13" (hence the outfit), in a boring little town of Duston. Soon enough you're sent on a special mission which will unleash a whole series of events. As is the theme of the majority of Fallout games, the plot will revolve around the basic resources that every human being needs.

I did my best to recapture the feeling of the original games. Thus, the quests offer multiple solutions for different types of characters, the NPCs react to your actions and the decisions you make have consequences which open and close certain doors. Since it's a Fallout 2 mod, there are also pop-culture references and dark humour.
There are also some new elements. I put more stress on unarmed and melee fighting. I intend to reintroduce the food system (but it's not in the demo). I also introduced a new character path - the scientist. You can now solve most quests using scientific skills such as science, repair, doctor, etc.

Check out some screenshots <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/46034292@N ... 8122/show/" target="_blank">here</a>.

You can also play a <span style="font-weight: bold;">demo of the mod</span>, which is available <a href="http://www.filefactory.com/file/a155996 ... 2_2009.zip" target="_blank">here</a>. Absolutely read the readme for credits, installation instructions and other notices!

The demo is only a <span style="font-weight: bold;">demo</span>, so take it easy with some things, such as the worldmap, the cutscenes, etc. Only three locations are completed for this build. The dumb path is not available yet, so don't play a dumb character. To cut a long story short, this is still work in progress. </span></em></p>
