ToxicSlurpee posted:Very high end unarmed strikes actually let you just blast through armor. If you have high enough attributes (AGI and STR), enough skill (over 130% or so), and are high enough level (in the teens) you get access to insane attacks. Piercing Kick, according to the wiki, has +12 armor penetration and a +50% crit chance. Aside from that Slayer makes every melee attack automatically crit. Good enough crits just plain ignore armor anyway. not to mention damage is completly irrelevant in Fallout 2, as the real money is in the instant kill criticals you get when your crit roll goes above 100 You punch the enclave soldier in the groin for 0 damage. The enclave grunt dies.

I miss being able to target the head and groin. They should have brought that back for NV, but I guess it was probably a limitation of the engine. Also Bethesda being pussy-footed about it.

Oh no! On my first JSawyer playthrough I've been doing my normal thing of stealing literally everything and ignoring karma because it's bugged and killing a couple of ghouls will make you a saint, but JSawyer fixes the karma! Now I'm Evil and I don't know how to become good again. Killing ghouls doesn't work, I killed some Fiends and didn't get any good karma messages. I never thought I'd miss the Fallout 3 beggar you can give infinite water to. I've managed to go from Very Evil to Evil, I think by fixing up Bitter Springs and declining a reward; hopefully there are enough quests that give good karma that I'll be able to go to Old World Blues or talk to Cass without hearing all about my Evil Ways. It's kind of fun to have a meta quest where I've got to prove to the world that I'm a good person.

Worst case scenario, make industrial amounts of healing powder and bring them to Daniel in Zion, 400 will make your karma skyrocket from -1000 to 1000.

Just continue being the klepto murderhobo that you are and deal with it. Or just use the console. Edit: isn't there a karma reset perk as well?

You can put your karma to 0 at lvl 50 but I don't think JSawyer mod has it.

Hedgehog Pie posted:I have warmed to Dead Money a little more. The characters are fun and I like how you're encouraged to interact with them (though sometimes I've found I need to repeat dialogue options to get what I want). The concept is cool. I don't mind the gameplay, though I don't think it's entirely suited sometimes (obviously you might say) and I think there's a little too much to juggle (got to run through that poisonous mist, oops you got bear trap'd and lol you just blew up). Still don't know if I'm up for the challenges because re-combing areas sounds like a pain, though otherwise I do appreciate that it's trying to do something different by slowing you down. Just be happy knowing that for all the hard work and frustration (the last puzzle in particular) the payoff is one of the most thrilling and satisfying ones in any of the DLCs or the main game itself.

Referring to the finale of Dead Money here: Has anyone tried grabbing all of the gold bars and just chaining together a bunch of Turbos to slow-walk all the way to safety? I don't know where you'd get all that Turbo without console commands, but it sounds like it'd be hilarious.

re:that spoiler. you can't. When overweighted you can't jump and you need to jump during that final countdown. OTOH there are about 2 methods to get all the loot out, my favorite involving a corpse of a certain someone.

The gold is so overvalued that without mods to change the vendor cap amounts (or a cheat vendor), there's basically no way to actually sell the gold bars for their full cap value. You'd have to exchange each bar for items from the merchant until you've cleaned out their inventory. On the plus side, you can take all the poo poo back to the Sink or Sierra Madre bunker or the Lucky 38 or whatever you use as your home and store it so you never need to buy anything else ever again.

Take them into Lonesome Road, the commissary machines have 6000 caps and vast stores of ammo, and they fill back up with money instantly if you exit out and then open them again.

getting out with all of them is easy if you have max stealth. And if you have the underground hideout mod there's a little shelf were you can store all of them

Dead Money is about letting go of the past and of the obsessions that drive us. You can argue that greed is an obsession, but the casino chips do a good enough job of giving the player 100,000+ caps (30k in Jsawyer) anyways, what's the gold bars matter except as a giant "gently caress you"? What I'm saying is take your hamfisted moral lesson and shove it, Obsidian.

The gold bars are a masterstroke. The fact that they come up every few pages is pretty good evidence that they worked.

I had 90,000 caps before I went the casino and left with like 30,000 pre-war moneys. My response to the gold was "meh, whatever."

Can the Auto-Docs in Dead Money cure addiction? I've got a high intelligence player and I'm trying to dumb him down in order to get Dog's spiel for the The Whole Sad Story challenge. But I don't want him to be an idiot for the rest of the playthrough, since I also want to be smart around Christine.

2house2fly posted:Much like Samwise, whose humble nature defied the One Ring's attempts to possess him, your virtue stands within the story as an example that the other characters might follow, if they can but find the will. Except for Dean, who is dead. Even though Dean is the one who instigated the whole thing based on some stupid poo poo, I can't bring myself to kill him. Everyone in my post-apocalyptic utopia deserves another chance...and to let go.
