I think Shifter changes it so it does the same damage to people but applies it differently to prevent the whole busting down doors thing.

Yeah, it changes it from 1x100 damage to 5x20 damage.

It was one of the official patches that did that, not Shifter. Although Shifter might have changed it some more, I can't remember.

Busting down a door with a lightsaber-esque lightsword made of superstrong nanobots makes a whole lot more sense than doing it with a sniper rifle. I don't think it's a bug that you can Jedi-Kool-Aid Man through a wooden door. It's awesome.

Fuckin' right.

Didn't the Dragon's Tooth only become an instakill lightsaber after a patch gave it several times more damage? I think I remember there was a period where people were choosing the Chinese sword over the Dragon's Tooth because they thought its faster swing rate was more important than the moderate difference in damage.

Just finished all of France and I'm a bit disappointed overall. The cathedral area is much smaller and has less routes than I thought it did. However, with some grenade climbing, I managed to gib two snipers with one LAW rocket with one of them screaming "Son of a..." right before the rocket detonated and used a mastered Sawed-Off Shotgun with the Targeting aug as a sniper rifle to pick off enemies from the rooftops like I was in a modern Assassin's Creed. Gibbing poor Gunther before he started walking with a LAW was neat as well.

Probably the best part of all of France was exploring Beth and Morgan's homes. There's a lot of cool stuff hidden in them and I liked their music a lot more than I did in the past.

Apparently, a maniac that climbs buildings with live grenades, uses the LAW as a close-quarters weapon, takes riot cops on international trips, uses a dead MJ12 Commando to pay for entrance to a club, kills every solider and cop he could find, vandalizes Morgan Everett's home, blows himself up in his brother's apartment with five TNT boxes and a LAM in his bro's greatest time of need, somehow enters Vandenberg's maintenance tunnels by throwing random props into the tunnel entrance, and managed to make Walton Simons talk to him after Simons was gibbed with four LAMs and a napalm barrel as soon as he spawned is preferable to a billionaire with a god complex. Page must be a godawful host for Helios.

gently caress that. Even crazy JC knows that ascending to godhood is more fun than just blowing up Area 51. As a god, you can blow up whatever you like without repercussions and you can use your powers to dictate new laws, like requiring everyone to climb up a building with grenades at least once a year, create a new sport around grenade surfing, and giving free weekly shipments of UC-made LAWs to everyone. :colbert:

I'm majorly stuck on the Nameless Mod if anyone knows it well enough to help.

I've just got to Goat City and the head Goat guy says he'll have missions for me soon, so I presume this'll allow me to access more of the city as it's pretty locked down. I've talked to the preacher and been made a Goat (sigh) so I'm looking for the head Goat so get more missions and I cannot find him anywhere. I've searched the city about five times and he's nowhere to be found. Where's he hiding?

e: Typical, as I post, I find him but he says nothing useful, everything in the game seems to be locked down, pretty well stuck at this point.

I wish you could use spare combat knives as throwing knives since there's only like 7 of those in the entire game.

You should use biomod instead of shifter anyway, for the balance changes it makes to augmentations.
