Violence Level [None, Minimal, Normal, Maximum
Blood]
This preference controls what happens when a
character is killed in the game. On Maximum Blood,
you will see the most violent, gruesome deaths
possible. Normal shows most of the deaths, but
doesn’t show a couple of the really bloody ones.
Minimal shows characters falling over in a pool of
blood. None just shows the characters falling
over.
Since there is no practical difference in the
game (except that it is a little more difficult to
tell dead characters from unconscious characters
with the None setting), you can set it to whatever
setting you like.
Notice that Maximum Blood is the default
setting, and Normal is not. That should be a scary
indicator of what the development team considers
normal...
Text Delay [Slider: Slow -> Normal -> Faster]
This preference controls how long floating text
and dialogue screen messages are displayed. Slow
speed text messages are displayed for twice as long
as normal. Faster speed messages are only
displayed for half the normal amount of time.
Language Filter [On, Off]
There is some naughty language in Fallout 2.
When the Language Filter is used, this text will
appear as “&^!@!” instead of the more normal
“!@&^@%!”. Hmm. This manual is using a language
filter. The setting of this preference is left to
the user.
Running [Normal, Always]
If set to Always, your character will run
instead of walk when you left-click with the
movement cursor, and you must shift-click to make
the character walk. Normal is the default setting,
where left-click is walk and shift-click is run.
