What are Deathclaws, anyway? I mean I've played both games to completion so I know what they look like and all, but where did they come from? I swear I remember them being mutated chickens or something. Also I don't see what's wrong with talking Deathclaws, even in FO1 they are recognised as being extremely intelligent. Edit: Never mind, I looked it up. Apparently they're "Jackson's Chameleon".

Cream-of-Plenty posted:I seem to recall Vic being pretty competent with a hunting rifle. It caters to his pondering slowness, but gives him a little more reach and power than a 10mm pistol. That being said, if you're running into random encounters where hostiles outnumber you 2 to 1, it might behoove you to flee. Also, having a decent outdoorsman skill can help avoiding random encounters altogether. If you want to cheat random encounters, spam "a" (start combat) as soon as you see the lightning bolt. If you're the first one to open combat, it'll end as soon as your first turn ends (as long as your NPC buddies don't shoot anyone, I think). It's conceivably possible to start spamming "a" again so that when combat ends, you start it again and get another turn. Note that you can only use this to run away, if you attack someone they'll "notice" you and the game will start giving them their turns.

Fag Boy Jim posted:e: it's worth noting that Finesse becomes useless if you pick up Sniper, but a) i don't tend to level that high anyway, and b) you can always Mutate it out for Fast Shot just beforehand. Wouldn't Fast Shot make Sniper worthless, though? Edit: OK, I thought Sniper was "aimed shots always crit" for some reason. HoldYourFire fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Aug 12, 2011 |

And he tells you the janitor's not due for an hour, so you rest for one hour right in front of him.

Regretting installing the Fallout 2 Restoration Patch a little bit, now. What the gently caress is this Kaga poo poo? He has like a thousand hit points. Two 40+ critical hits to the eyes with a hunting rifle didn't do poo poo.

Lets gently caress Bro posted:I found this by accident. I think you need to get Myron in your party and threaten to kick him out. He'll tell you about a building overgrown with carnivorous plants and the EPA will appear on your map. You can kick him out right after he tells you about it and still go there (because gently caress that sleazy little twerp). I killed him ages ago  Edit: Not that it matters because I save obsessively and I already had Adv. Power Armour and Gauss Rifle by then. Edit2: And I've already found two Red Dwarf references in the EPA. HoldYourFire fucked around with this message at 15:18 on Oct 2, 2011 |

I was thinking about a "Non-sequence break" speedrun of Fallout 2. I tested it as well. Tag Speech, Small Guns, Lockpick. 1) Go to Klamath, get location for The Den. 2) Go to the Den, get Lara's mission to find out what's in the church. Optionally bluff your way in for 700xp, or just talk to Joey the punk for the location of New Reno. 3) Go to New Reno but stop when you get to Redding. 4) You should have arrived on whatever day the NCR caravan leaves, take it. 5) Do the Vault 15 quest by talking your way past everyone. 6) Go to Vault 13, steal the GECK and NavCom parts, talk to Goris for location of military base. 7) Outside Military Base, grab Survey Map to San Fran, go there 8) Talk to Matt and do Navarro. Use the central computer then requisition the tanker FOB. 9) Rescue Badger's girlfriend using a combat shotgun or something (this is ideally your first combat) and ask him to steal fuel. 10) Talk your way onto the Shi Submarine if you have that mod installed. 11) Do the Enclave.

Whether you should prefer Action Boy or Bonus Rate of Fire really depends on circumstances. Let's say you have 9 AP and it currently costs you 4AP to fire your gun. Obviously you would prefer BRoF because it increases your potential shots per turn from two to three. If you think about it, AB is increasing your "effective time" by 11%, whereas BRoF is increasing it by 25%. But this only applies to time you spend shooting. If you only fire once per turn no matter what, then the two would be equivalent because you'd gain 1AP in either case. I think Action Boy gives you one extra AP per level (of the perk, obviously not character level or that would be ludicrously broken), but in Fallout 1 it might be two, I'm not sure. Actually I think you just get access to the perk earlier in Fallout 1. I should think BBs would be available in The Hub, have you tried the "Guns" shop (run by Beth??)

khwarezm posted:I'm in a bind. I've reached the military base in Fallout 1, but these yellow force fields are causing me real problems, on level three it seems as though the terminals to turn off the field near the elevator that brings me down to level 4 is behind the forcefield, so I cant actually reach it to turn off the field and move on! What should I do? Apparently there's a computer on Level 1 called Forcefield control. If you use a radio on it and pass a repair check, you can use the same radio to disable the emitters. Or you can use repair skill or explosives to turn them off.

White Phosphorus posted:Does anybody have any experience with the restoration patch in FO2? I'm playing it now and for the life of me I cannot find any Gauss rifles. I'm already doing the san fran quests, and I have 0. Did the patch gently caress around with their availability? I seem to remember that in vanila FO2 I had a rifle for me cassidy and robobrain by this point. I'm pretty sure this has happened to me as well. I was in and out of San Fran for literal months waiting for the thing to appear, but no dice.

Ingram posted:Which quest? I don't mind spoilers. Half using a guide anyway... According to the Nearly Ultimate Fallout Guide: quote:[In Downtown Hub] Irwin standing in a building at the bottom of the map wants you to clear out the raiders infesting his farm. He'll only ask you if you're level 5 or higher; unless you bring a couple of NPCs you should probably be level 9 or so. Once you agree, you're teleported to the farm. Beware that once you leave this place you can never come back, so don't save here unless you're confident you can take out the raiders. Kill them all, pick up 2 Stimpaks and 1 Metal Armor from the floor, then return to Irwin to collect a reward of one .223 Pistol! You also get 500 xp though it doesn't show in the message window.
