lead in movie is nice , love the mother's voice , oooh, nice n sexy !! Her name MUST be Helga ))
Thanks the compliment on my walkthrough! :wave:
I really loved this game, and this was my first walkthrough in about 8 years since I used to do the online ones for Prima Publishing. I really wanted to do a similar walkthrough for 7.62, but since the english version is coming out later this year and I don't know any russains I guess I'm waiting for the official release! lol

Seems the crashing varies somewhat in frequency, no idea what is causing it although it does seem like it crashes more the longer I play at a time so could have something to do with overheating or something like although that would be the first time ever this has happend to me in any game. But thanks for the help lads.
Oh and my credit info is ************** and ****** :silly:

you knew RR crashes, or, rathe, 1.13's map loading/ inventory generating code crashes
restart from new, you'll see quite a few things that you haven't seen in the first playthrough...

played for a few hours yesterday , things to do today , so may not be at it again till later , but no problems so far , in comparison to fallout ( which it's trying to be)it lacks the humour and depth of gameplay , but definitely superior in visuals , combat a bit rushed , compared to JA. Seems to be a lot of 'crap' lying around to pick up and trader prices a bit confusing . Using the walkthrough by David Finn , and have to say thanks , it's helping enormously !

To be it seems like a game who could've been great but was rushed out the door, hoping the modders will fill in the dots. When you've got a system that allows so many item combos, it's plain stupid not to use it to generate weapon improvements, at least to the extent of JA2. They got hunting, skinning and cooking implemented, yet the value of food is nil. It's heavy and you're better off using medicines. There could've been so many things added to bring a "wild" feeling to the game... and almost none was.
You get too many items too quick, due to the fact that there is no intermediary action between sectors. You are basically beamed out from hotspot to hotspot and you're done with the game faster than you've started.
And I agree about the combat system. That's a major minus. I don't have a clue who was the smartass who decided they don't need to aim the weapons. But he was an idiot and makes the game retarded.
Fall is a lot of potential squandered, as I said. At the first look it has an open source code and a great map editor so it's seemingly very moddable too. Yet only a handfull of mods came out... so logic tells me there are deep problems within.
I might be wrong, but life told me that when everything looks too good to be true, it's not good at all.

Need someone who can do the scripting part for a JA2 mod on this.
Been playing with the editor and came up with an Omerta map based on the "railway station" hight map ,only reversed...even experimented with adding textures.
I think it's doable to have Omerta, Drassen, Alma, etc, as locations, especially that every ja2 graphic has at least an equivalent in this game. And managed to insert a ja2 strategic map flipped vertically.Putting Miguel&co, plus some JA2 chars in this and their english speech, like for example a Fox-Wolf-Grizzly-Linx-Ice team shouldn't be too much of a hassle.
But in spite of the modding documentation and actually visiting my location, I'm not figuring something right and my head hurts too bad to do any more figuring.
