Preferences
These preferences control aspects of the game. All
the preferences here can be adjusted by you, the
player. In this way, you are given a chance to
modify the game to your
liking.
All of the preferences
below have two or more
settings. One of the
settings will be the
default setting, which is
set back at the Fallout
factory by well-trained
professionals. Don’t
worry, however, they won’t
get upset if you decide to deviate from the norm
and change the default setting.
The options are listed in the brackets following
the name of the preference. The underlined option
is the factory-set default option.
Game Difficultly [Easy, Normal, Hard]
This preference controls the overall difficultly
of reaction and other non-combat related rolls.
Negative reaction modifiers are halved, and all
non-combat rolls are made with a +20% bonus if set
to Easy. If set to Hard, all negative reaction
rolls are increased by 25%, and all non-combat
skills are reduced by 10%.
You can adjust this preference at anytime during
the game. There is no penalty or reward for using
any of the settings.
Combat Difficulty [Wimpy, Normal, Rough]
Controls the difficulty of combat. On Wimpy
level, all opponents have a negative modifier to
hit you, do less damage and take fewer targeted
shots. On the Rough setting, they will hit you
more often, do more damage and tend to take more
targeted shots.
