Ok then, to start I have only played Fallout 2 from start to finish about 3 or 4 times, I have not explored the whole map and have used only one character, therefore I will have missed many quests and many options throughout the game. I advise you to use two or three different characters, this way you are able to experience different thing.

Now on with the show. Firstly I used a character made by  Christian Golumbovici  . He designed this character with stats that are like this;            
ST:  6
PE:  7
EN:  5
CH:  6
IN:  9
AG:  8
LK:  6

    I used this character for all my games and I found it to be quite a good one. Traits and tag skills are a personal preference so I will not say anything about either of them.

Temple of Trials
Now your standing out side this big huge Temple, and you ask yourself, what do you do now?(Well I did)
First off I would suggest looking at you stats and check out what skill is higer, you melee or your unarmed skill. If it is your unarmed just go inside, otherwise, pull out your spear from your inventory and head towards the exit grid. Inside the first think you'll notice is that it's dark, but not dark enough to see two giant damn ants.These are quite dangerous at this stage so what I suggest doing is walking slowly up to them so it goes into combat mode. Than when they walk up to you you kick/punch/stab them with whatever weapon, then walk away four hexes, this way they use up all their Action Points (AP) chasing you.

This procces will take a while but it will save your precious hit points, do the same with the scorpions. On the scorpions that you kill, you can pick up their tails, search them and take them all, also search all the pots and chests around the place, hopefully you will get out minus a few hit points and without being poisined or anything.The only problems that you encounter in the temple are a few minor things. In the 2nd or 3rd srceen, you will come across a short hallway leading into a open room then into another hallway, becareful, this room is traped. Walk slowly through hex by hex, every now and then you will see a small flat stone pop up on he ground, DON'T STAND ON THESE, standing on enough of these is harzardous to your health, but if you do stand on them, don't worry it won't hurt...much. Also if one of these things goes of, try and pick up th sharpened pole, they come in handy to throw at ants and scorpions while you in hear, and they are re-usable. As you goe further on you will come to a hole in the floor, something like a sewer. Go around this and walk upto the pot against the wall, search the pot. It hold some plastic explosives, these you need against the next door. The next door when you come to it looks like a solid steel one with no handle. Put the explosives into your item slot and use them, set the timer for about 30 seconds, then drop it and run! This should put a hole in the door, but be carefull, under the pile of rubble there is another trap. As you go through this door there is more scorpions and ants to attempt to kill
you. Now at the end of this screen they're will be a villager standing guard, when you go up to him he will talk to you, and challenge you to a fight. At this point you can say no to go and heal Do this as much as you can, then walk back as close as you can to talk to him, fight him, if you win, he will open the door behing him, go and collect your stuff from the chest out side and leave through the next exit grid.
