Its pretty hard to kill Metzger's gang that early on. It's pretty satisfying when you finally do, though. Also, if you really need caps you could just become a slaver yourself (don't do this).

So I've also been inspired to play though Fallout 2 for the first time. I skimmed the last few pages to make sure that I'm going in mostly blind, but spoilers aside, what are some must-have patches/mods for the game?

There's a lot of dudes with guns from what I recall. At that point all you've really fought are Geckos. Also they have armor while you might not have anything yet.

Does the restoration patch add quality content. Because I almost feel like replaying fallout 2 but I also already think it's massively bloated.

After hundreds of hours of gameplay with no non-writing-related issues, I installed a Windows update the other day and now Fallout 4 suddenly runs at an unplayable framerate. Every other game is totally fine, it's just Fallout 4, no matter which save I load or what mods I disable. Even the main menu runs at about 4 FPS. Anyone else had this weird poo poo happen?

I played FNV before the first two games, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that my Benny execution method works just as well against Metzger in F2; seduce, then execute in bed. Granted this causes a huge firefight when you leave his room, but the door acts as a pretty good chokepoint and you have some decent weapons if you did the other Den quest to help that one mercenary group kill everyone during a party. I'm kinda curious what a full-on slaver playthrough looks like but I kinda assume it just locks you out of like 80% of quests.

Lt. Danger posted:Like several other RPG developers, Avellone has posted on RPGCodex - largely because they've done interviews with him and he likes to follow up, and also because it's the biggest community website focusing on CRPGs. RPGCodex is also a toxic hellpit full of racists and ironic turbo-libertarians, largely because it's the biggest community website focusing on CRPGs. I actually took it fine, if you look back at my posts about it in the Pillars thread I was confused about why people were down on Avellone until the RPGCodex stuff. And there's a significant difference between occasionally doing interviews with the staff of RPGCodex and surrounding yourself with a Nazi circlejerk and poo poo talking your former colleagues with a group of people openly speculating whether their Jewish ancestry made them more likely to have screwed you over.

Becoming a slaver turns you hostile to the NCR and traveling around that region of the map can be tricky as you run the risk of getting ambushed by Ranger random encounters. Most of the rest of the wasteland doesn't really change beyond what normally happens when you have an Evil reputation. Unless you're specifically trying to play an unrepentant dick there's not much point in joining. Pickpocketing then murdering everyone in the guild is much more lucrative, especially early on if you can manage it. You can get some random quests to go on slave runs but they quickly stop being worth the effort - they're kind of like really early Radiant Quests, come to think of it.

No, there is a RPG solution - everyone knows lockpick skill lets you open locked doors, but most people probably don't know using it on closed but unlocked doors locks them. So you can lock the inner and outer doors and not have to deal with all the slavers, just couple at a time.

Was McDonough only replaced by a synthetic after he was elected? I'm just curious how long he's been under cover considering synths don't seem to age. Unless he was only recently replaced you'd think someone would notice.

Given that we know cannibals will happily eat synths thanks to Far Harbor, thus making them pretty drat human, one assumes the meat would age normally

Aging is a symptom of a self limiter inherent in many/most natural life forms on Earth, though. One would think that those eggheads would correct that in their perfect human replicas.

Considering how over the top the cannibal animation is, I'm disappointed they didn't lean into it with lines about the races/characters you eat. Like mentioning a synth tasting like tofurkey, or complaining that Kellog has more metal than meat. Sort of like the silly persuasion lines the pacification perk has. "Hey, buzz buzz"

I haven't been through all of the restored content but whats restored is a drop in the bucket compared to vanilla FO2. The EPA is like a second Sierra Army Depot (as far as I could tell from scale.) Other than that its individual quests and characters in the usual places.

I used this when fighting the Bishops (after sleeping with the daughter of course). Locked the door to Dad's office, trapping him and the mooks inside, then shooting them through the windows. I popped off a shot per round and moved back between windows and they couldn't target me.

Kid Synth Shaun is said to never really grow up by institute scientists. Would he just remain the same size while his skin eventually sloughs off? I'm playing Far Harbor and while Dima is pretty cool I think it was a mistake to start toying with the "am I a synth?" theory now despite it never coming up in the main game. It's like how the extended cut of mass effect 3 toyed with the indoctrination theory to court controversy even though there was no intention of that being the case. In both games it just muddles the writing to try and be mysterious but just ends up vague and unconvincing. Also considering how big a part Nick and Dima play in far harbor you'd think they'd have taken more time to voice coach the VA to sound like Nick again. He's way off.

If they had just reused the Talon mercenary company people would've accused them of being lazy, so they changed the name and the logo and literally nothing else  Not that it's a terrible idea to have a vaguely hostile rival merc group pop up here and there, mind you (its not like you can join the Regulators in F1 or the Khans or the Enclave in F2) but the way they used them as basically raiders with better guns was pretty slapdash.

The Gunners are just dumb. Unless someone has hired them to just murder everything that moves in the Commonwealth, they're literally just reskinned raiders. At least the Talons being after you made since cause someone in theory hired them because you were a goody two shoes. Seriously, just slap a contract on the odd dead gunner and I like them 100% more, otherwise they should have just been another side faction you could do quests with. Choose them or the Minutemen

I wouldn't have been that satisfied with "they're a part of Talon" either imo. Their reason for being hostile was because a shadowy Chaotic Evil guy wanted the wastes to stay lawless. They've kind of already failed in the commonwealth there.

As I recall the gunners do serve as evil mercs, there's a few hired gunners escorting some of the vendors and all. Other than that they did just mostly seem like "more disciplined, better armed" raiders.

A tale of two wastelands with a no-limit companion mod. Grab all companions from both Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Are there any mods that populate the Legion Fort more? Additional wastelands spawns? Take your army and just go full slaughter on them.

Viva Miriya posted:lmao gently caress. some cut content was meant to be cut lmao It's arguable whether a lot of the cut content in the Restoration Mod counts as "cut", anyway. IIRC a lot of its additions was more or less completely designed by the modders based on interviews and design documents. Dunno if Kaga counts, though. That's not to detract from the mod, by the way, if anything it makes it more impressive.

But gently caress Kaga is what I'm saying. How do I kill this prick with my current setup because I'm so done with this nerd. Right now small guns is up to 60% and I have a .44 magnum revolver for myself, a 10mm smg for sujik (or whatever you call him), and vic has a pistol but I'm sure I'll get him a rifle at some point. We all have leather armor and i'm always in desperate need for stimpacks or healing powder.
