Just wanted to share this good news. Haven't played the mod yet, just heard about it, looks amazing though.
(edit)Alright, here's a breakdown. The mod was developed by a guy named Bear Dude over at NMA. I know the stigma the name NMA can have for people but from what I can tell this guy has been working tirelessly on the unofficial patch that some of you may be aware of or have used in the past. I personally have used the unofficial patch and can tell you after a play-through that the game is quite improved by it. From the looks of things theres no reason to expect less of this.
Here's a snippet from the thread at NMA:

The day of release has finally come. It has taken me about almost 2 years to get this complete and yet I still believe I can find stuff to add. The purpose of this mod is to add back into the game all the content that was originally planned by the Fallout 2 devs. You will find about 6 new locations (some quite large, other smaller) as well as a few new areas to old locations. In addition, almost every town in the game has new content whether it is new characters, quests, or items. Playing this will definitely be a new experience. Completion of this expansion would also not have been possible without several individuals who I thank in the readme of this mod. Big thanks to all of you!

Woops, there it is.
Slightly off-topic: my crusade entails System Shock 1 & 2, Fallout 1 & 2, and Half-Life 1 & 2. Wish me luck folks.
Sorry I haven't slept in 28 hours.
Yeah. On the one hand, another reason to play Fallout 2. On the other, NMA. :?
I didn't notice that. What I'd like better is the ability to punch them and knock them out, but not kill them. The first time one pickpocketed me, I punched him and he fell down. Combat ended right there, and I was able to take my things back. I thought it was supposed to work that way. Next kid that steals from me I end up splattering on the wall.
On the plus side, the bounty hunters that track you out in the wilderness if you're a childkiller are a bonanza of free stuff. I had a Jackhammer by the time I got to Gecko.
Hells yeah! Bring it on, you Enclave bizatches!
Yeah, I would prefer to learn like this rather than get info-dumped on by the Prez at the end of the game.

Things that strike me as very bad ideas.
a.k.a. Ability to skip Chinatown entirely. I guess it's the equivalent of letting Harry take you to Lou. Still strikes me as a bad idea.
Wut?
Things I wonder about:
* Why no peaceful resolution for Frank Horrigan?
* Why a Phazer from the Space Shuttle Special Encounter?
* Why no fix for the Holy Hand Grenade encounter?
Twitter
why not?
