Dummies guide to Fallout 2

Joe Martin plays through classic RPG Fallout 2 with a character of the lowest possible intelligence: "Confidently, I lead Al out of his village, ignoring the hurled insults by the useless NPCs and staying focused on my destination; Klamath. The nearby town is the first stop everyone makes in Fallout 2 and I know it's where I can learn the valuable Gecko Skinning skill and recruit my first follow. Except I can't." — Is "min-minning" a thing?
