I have Fallout 2 European Version. I have tried to install the unofficial patch 1.04 first (This patch also contains fixes from 1.02 and 1.03 versions), and then the 1.05. And guess what.....it worked!
The NPC's did change their appearance when wearing armor, and so on. But then, the problems began. When I've came to the Den, I coudn't reload my game (If I was at the West Side). And after a while I couldn't even enter the West Side of the Den, the game simply crashed
Well, I actually uninstalled whole my game afterwards, only to install it again, without the unofficial patch. So the patch obviosly isn't that stable afterall
