I have had this on GOG for along time now so i thought i get round to playing it.
Made my character with high intelligence and charisma and not too bad with small arms either. Im pretty glad i did as i managed to talk a guy into helping me kill the radscorpians. im a little stuck now as, i can go visit the bandits. me and my companion kill about 5 of them, but we get overwhelmed. I tried talking to the leader but as soon i tell him im a traveller he attacks.Or i can join them, which i dont want to do. Should i come back a bit later, say after i visit vault 15 or is there something else i can do?

Got a bit further on, ive levelled up a bit, but still not strong enough for the bandits. But it doesnt matter as theres other stuff to do.

Just made some excellent progress.

I managed to get the water parts from a place called necropolis, in exchange i repaired the ghouls filtration pumps. I had a 150 days to repair vault 13 water station, but i must have done alright as i repaired it in 98 days left. I didnt even have to go to the necropolis. I could have saved over an hour and got a caravaner to send the parts over to vault 13 but it didnt sound like a good deal, hope i picked right. Anyway thats enough for tonight, ill play some more tomorrow, next stop brotherhood base.

Ooft, Fallout. It's been about 10 years since I played it but I do remember that you will definitely need some rope and some Rad-X + RadAway for a huge crater that's vital for progression, so grab some and hold on to it forever.

Oh and invest in Energy Weapons too, not much but with each level up put 1/4 of your stat points in it or something, as later on Small Guns are useless especially against the Super Mutants who have Plasma/Rail weapons.

Oh and don't **** with anybody in Power Armor, you can't take it off most of them anyway and this isn't Fallout 3, they will straight up annihilate you with about 1% chance of survival.

You 100% should get Fallout 2 if you enjoy this, the mods for it are awesome, they even got some of the voice actors from the base game to help so they could bring out a massive expansion iirc.

Ok ill start spending some points into energy weapons then.
Yeah im gonna get fallout 2 off gog when i finish this gem. What mods would you recommend for me?
