ITT: Things you cannot do in any fallout after number 2
Also can some one tell me why my background music isn't playing. I'm running GoG + restoration.
What's the matter, you guys are always complaining how the game is unplayable and you're forced to follow a linear path or else you die?
But you can get power armor in the first 30 minutes in Fallout 4 as well
I did this too Op. I feel guilty of cheating though. Wiped out the Slaver's. Killed 2 instantly and I had to chase the rest because they were running.
actually you can savescum cold all the way to san fran. tagging speech or sneak can help with chris at navarro but you don't even necessarily need that
We're too busy shit posting to have a real thread. Op.
In 3 you could glitch into cathedral for power armor training early.
I haven't had the time to play this game lately so I'm personally still in Arroyo. It literally took me a week of savescumming to clear the Temple and I was pretty excited for finally clearing it, but I've been pretty busy with work lately. Can't wait to actually start the game. I'm currently trying to weed the plants from the shaman's garden. They're really fucking hard to kill, still, but I'm unarmed so I guess it should be expected.
>>318165796
The hell you talking about? You can savescum your way to X01 armor, named plasma rifle, the alien blaster, and a named combat shotty with killing a handful of enemies before you ever talk to Codsworth post vault, and those are only the ones I'm aware of. If you're gonna hate on 4, at least pick something accurate to hate on.

>AG 1
Why the fuck?
>>318165796
>>started a new game, speech, outdoorsman, energy weapons
How does a shitslinging tribal know what Energy weapons is when the retards in his tribe actually think canteens are holy relics?
>>318165796
Making the game easy boring as shit by cheating/exploiting it's mechanics is something you can do in every fallout.
>>318169046
Talk to the guy by the head statue and the guy in the tent to the right of the head. They will train your melee and unarmed by a certain percentage.
>>318169276
Yeah, that's the joke he's making. You found it.
>>318169272
No you can't. Because of level scaling the xo1 doesn't spawn until you are level 30 or something.
>>318169276
Agility is my go-to dump stat in Fallout games. Never liked playing sneaky characters.
>>318169046
You again? I thought this was just some one-and-done bait.
How long are you going to keep this up? I'd actually enjoy seeing you deliberately try to go through the game in the wrongest way possible and shitpost on /v/ about it.
>>318169469
There are several scripted location where you're assured X01. The majority of locations are ones obeying the level list, but it's fully possible to get X01 if you know the scripted locations.
>>318169046
All jokes aside, is playing with <5 agility even playable? I fucked up and went with 9 agility instead of 10, so I have 4 extra ap after I shoot a weapon.
>>318169279
it's just 2nd generation after Vault Dweller.
Also take into account that knowledge in Arroyo likely varries from person to person, as descendants of Vault 13 are minority
>>318169484
agility influences action points not just stealth and it has one of the best combat perks under it
>>318169046
>1 agility
no one can fuck up that hard on purpose
>>318169046
>AG 01
extreme
>>318169484
bait or not,
you need at least 7 or 8 agility (don't do 10 because you can buy permanent upgrade)
you'll have a shitton more opportunity in combat to not fuck up
>>318169685
But that's bullshit, that only makes it weirder because just 2 Generations after the VD everyone's fucking retarded. If other people know better why do they have the brain-damaged elder who doesn't understand anything but dung and dreams brief you on your mission.

>>318169601
I don't believe there are "wrong" ways to play an RPG like this.
Just leveled up. Where should I put my skill points into?
>>318169880
think of it
Vault dwellers arrive and join village, Children are born. Original dwellers die. Now only source of pre-war knowledge are those children, who recieved wisdom of old worls together with wisdom of tribals.
Shit gets confusive at best. Some figure it out, some don't.
It's same as people in New Reno understand (more or less) laser weapons, but only few can properly name them.
>>318170370
Well, never mind. I just noticed how fucking many skill points you get per level in Fallout 2. Maximized my speech and put the rest into repair.
>>318165796
Pretty sure you can do that in all the bethesda games, esp if you include save scumming. Are you just getting caught up in negative shitposting?
>>318170553

>>318169383
>>318168646
Cheating/glitching is not the same as a game designed around freedom.
>>318168412
Level scaling makes it pointless. You're out of a core after the first fight and your weapons are still shit because you need perks to do more damage. You can have le combat shotgun at the beginning and it will do 30 damage or whatever.
>>318169679
Starting with 10 agility is pretty dumb, since you can raise it from 9 to 10 later anyway.
>>318170439
Sorry, but no. Unless every parent magically died before their children reached puberty, that makes fuckall sense. Fuck, there could still be living vault dwellers in that village, or failing that the last would have died only recently.
>>318170835
Savescumming is cheating.
>>318170370
Outdoorsman since you're going to have to avoid everything with 3 action points.
>>318170895
>All these people saying not to bother with AG at 10 or ST higher than 5 because you can upgrade later
That shit doesn't even come in to play until the game is almost over anyway.
>>318171178
>he's not minmaxing everything to break the game
Look at him. Look at him and laugh.
>>318169046
>savescumming to pass the temple
wtf, you just run like hell and convince the guy at the end
>>318171113
It is today when all games are designed to hold your hand and have checkpoints everywhere. Old games were built around save scumming, at any time you can hit a random encounter that can kill you. Are you supposed to restart the game at that point?
>>318170370
>I don't believe there are "wrong" ways to play an RPG like this
Well no, but there's definitely ways to make them unnecessarily hard on yourself.
>>318171178
you can get things pretty early. The raise SPECIAL perk start at level 12 if i'm not mistaken and you can use the implant cards as soon you deliver the vertbird plans.
>>318171428
Loading when you die is not savescumming, stupid. Savescumming is going through encounters or levels that would be almost impossible for you by saving and loading anytime you fuck up.
>>318171395
That's what they said in the thread I posted some weeks ago for help. Turn out I can't outrun the ants and since I needed to be out of combat to pick locks I needed to kill them, and it legitimately took tens of tries every time.
By the way, found my first companion already. Needed $350 to hire him, so I sold my sharpened spear off. Couldn't use it anyway.
I've heard the companions in this game are OP as fuck.
Oh cool an F2 thread. I wanted to do an unarmed build so I made this:
S = 6
P = 6
E = 7
C = 2
I = 8
A = 10
L = 8
Traits:
Gifted
Jinxed
Tag:
Unarmed
Speech
Sneak
I'm not too far in and I've already found sneak useful, helped with stealing the spiked knuckles from the Duntons, but I'm not too far in and I'm worried I fucked up in not choosing lock pick.
>>318171615
And when you fuck up you die. There is no distinction. Because of the random nature of encounters there is always a good chance of instant death in high level areas regardless of your level. Hit an enclave patrol and even in power armor you will most likely die.
>>318170370
>Agility - 1
>expecting to ever be able to hit anything
You're a persistent b8er, I'll give you that.
>>318170817
>raising non-combat skills past 100
>>318171882
There is a big distinction. Savescumming allows you to do anything if you're patient enough, so you bypass the game's difficulty and overcome obstacles simply by playing the RNG game.
>>318171663
No if you run out of the range of the ants which isn't that far, you can hit end combat and they will stop following you.
>>318171943
science and repair have a lot of 125% checks
>>318172069
Doesn't matter since you can just repeat.
>>318172026
There is not, fallout 2 was designed to be savescummed. They even tell you in some of the special encounters to save so that you can scum if you fuck up.
>>318171794
Goddamn, he IS overpowered. He pretty much kills scorpions in one hit. I do like 3 damage once per turn while he does 15 twice per turn.
>>318165796
NV makes it really easy with fast travel. Grab the Goodsprings snowglobe first, then neak up past Deathclaws, hugging the rocks until you're south of Camp McCarren. Go in there, wait for the guard shift change, sneak past them, take the monorail to the strip. Now head on over to Freeside (the robot guards won't care), the Old Mormon Fort, and get the snowglobe there. Turn those both into Mr. House's lady robot, get 4K Caps total, spend them on the Luck implant.
go gamble, buy all your shit you could possibly want from Gun Runners/Silver Rush. fast travel back to Goodsprings
>>318172032
Yeah, but I have three action points.
>>318172032
He only has 3 AP, ants will always catch up with him.

Using the save system is not the same as abusing the save system.

They're not. Probably Sulik and Cassidy are best because they can wear power armor and have good combat skills. Goris is fine for a while too, but I think he becomes outclassed by the late game due to not being able to wear power armor. Vic isn't so bad in a pinch but it's best to leave him when the time comes, and Myron is complete dead weight. Don't think I ever got the best version of Skynet.
>>318172295

>Your shitty character has 3 fucking action points which means you can't even attack with like 80% of the weapons in the fucking game
You can't be this literally fucking retarded. But you also can't be b8ing.
You know after playing some other isometric tactic games like Wasteland 2 and Hard West, I finally realized what I dislike the most about Fallout's combat.
How fucking little your character can move in a given turn. Fuck.

The only thing that increases Agility in Fallout 2 is the Perk, which you probably shouldn't waste on increasing Agility instead of just starting with 10 anyway.
Fallout 1 DOES have the +1 Agility surgery, so it's fine to start with 9 there.
>>318171113
children could have learned about old world tech, but without it on hand, for most those are just stories.
It's like John from Brave New World. He knew that "Cleanliness is next to fordliness", because his mather taught him, but without context it's just chant from civilized world passed on him, because he wasn't more aware of outside world that his fellow tribals
Can I play Fallout 2 in 1920x1080?
>>318172736
>3 fucking action points which means you can't even attack with like 80% of the weapons in the fucking game
I hope you're exaggerating. Well, I heard that Jet gives you AP in this game like in Fallout 3 and NV, so not all is lost. I'm not rerolling after I've gotten this far.
>>318172910
You can if you like squinting.
>>318172910
Yes. Get the high resolution patch.
>>318172982
Please direct me to said patch.
Can I install it through the Steam version?
>>318172939
No anon, I'm not. It takes 4 AP to kick something with your fucking foot. Shooting usually takes like 3 for pistols and 4 to aim.
You can't even fucking AIMED SHOT WITH PISTOLS with 3 fucking AP. Reloading costs 2 AP even.
>>318172704
I popped a rad x, killed off the rads i got before popping them with some radaway, hopped into the hole, got some yellow card and the shit i need, and buggered out. Popped another rad x when i exited the hole and that was that.
I definitely feel like i missed a lot, but im kinda rushing through the game this first run.
>>318172446
You don't have a choice, the bottom half of the map is full of enclave patrols, remnants of the masters army, death claws, aliens and whatever have you. All of these guys can instakill you with a critical at any time regardless of your level.
>>318171428
>Old games were built around save scumming
no, save scumming is literally way to make game easier for yourself, if you can't handle game. If you HAVE to savescum, you're just bad at game.
>>318165796
So, what's your point? Are you trying to show us how broken FO2 was?
>>318173096
Kicking actually takes 3 AP for me. Maybe they scale to your max AP?
Are there any other ways of opening locked doors in this game than lockpicking? Newer Fallouts let you hack some of them, and I don't really want to level lockpicking.
>>318173046
Google it and I don't know.
>>318172726
Vic is good to have, because you don't need spend point on Repair with him in party, he can fondle with machinery instead of you
>>318165796
I did the same.
It appealed to my 14yo spirit of feeling good about cheating. Good times.(Don't miss them though)
>>318171428
>Old games were built around save scumming
So that's what millennials think when they play old games to look cool on the internet?
>find an abandoned gun store
>only rubber boots there
Pretty disappointing
>>318173234
No, Kicking takes 4. You are thinking of Punching.
>>318173234
>I don't really want to level lockpicking
That's pretty dumb, at least from a powergaming point of view.
>>318168567

>>318173460

They are common when you fight high level enemies. Fucking hk p90 burst or minigun burst or super mutant rocket launcher. The aliens and death claws can kill you just by having so much action points, they take out your entire hp before you can move.

>>318173796
if you can't figure out which dialogue option makes people pull out guns, then you're just an idiot.
There's no "glass him" here. Only "risky" dialogue lines are with suicide bomber.

Nigger you're only at Klamath, and no he isn't exaggerating. Explosives can break doors but good luck finding those this early. You should also know that you've wasted a tag on big guns as all require at least 6 AP to fire.

I'd recommend you restart your game, your agility is so low you can't even use any of the actual Big Guns.
>>318173971
>>318174191
You aren't forced to do anything. You can attack the overseer or kill the village elders. The game ends because the game is about saving your people and you killed them.
You can't even kill them in 3, NV and 4.
>>318174376
For improved shitposting, take Here and Now.
>>318173439
Well, they were, and I was playing that shit back when it was relevant. Its mostly a symptom of design in that a bunch of games at the time would kill you with a random number ever now and then, and they didn't really get the concept of auto saving. Players ended up saving every time they thought they did something worth while, which then conditioned them to to save in anticipation of shit hitting the fan.
>>318174527
Too late for that now.
>>318174548
All these perks look like shit so I'm legitimately considering that or Comprehension.
>>318174538
You can kill everything but Children in FONV though, with the exception of Yes-Man who you can kill but won't stay dead.

>The main quest of FO4 is the framework you can roleplay in.
No, not when your son is a main part of the plot and your previous pre-written background is referenced so much. Try again Todd.
>>318174652
Sorry I forgot that you don't follow le bethesda father son gaymance meme in NV.
I wanted to kill those fucking kids at that airplane runway place so bad.
>>318174657
But that's wrong because with the removal of the karma system and your inability to give houses to raiders, you aren't even roleplaying.
You HAVE to be a good guy, who HAS to be nice to people, who HAS to find your shitty fucking son even when there's like 3 times you can just up and replace your son.
>>318174848
Don't forget the part where almost every quest is a dungeon crawl ending in killing things, and you can barely talk your way out of ANYTHING.
>>318174830
>I've been playing this for two weeks now
Because your character is so shit, a basic encounter takes hours to get past. Make a normal character and it will only take an hour or so to get back to wherever you are now.
>>318174848
So, I suppose you also can't role play in FO1 because the chip is the main part of the plot and your goal is reference so much.
Or in any of The witchers games, because everything about you is part of the plot and everything about you is referenced so much.

You're fucking retarded, you just turned level three. I don't think I've ever seen such a shitty character. First you tagged big guns, a skill only useful lategame or if you run to San Francisco, then made your agility so low you can't even use them, and also chose bruiser which is a terrible trait. I don't think I've ever been this russeled right now.

No, because that is not tied in with your character's past. You need to study harder Todd.
>>318169484
Oh, hey! I remember this joke! I was in that one thread where you did the SAME THING.
>>318174574
Not to mention in the era before the ability to quickly and easily download patches, you had to save frequently to protect against buggy games and random crashes.
F2 is one of my favorite games of all time, but it was buggy as fuck in New Reno.
>>318173796
I like how New Vegas trolled you a bit for save scumming.
There's a 1 minute cooldown to play casino games again after a quick load.
Some good items you wanted to steal were gone after a quickload to attempt to steal them again succesfully.
The fucking hacking menu takes longer to take you to the hacking minigame.
(I fucking hate this minigame, holy shit they need to remove this crap)
>>318175127
>Oh Jesus I'm dying.
No need to be rude, it took me a week to clear the Temple and I haven't played a lot this week.
I picked Presence, put some of my points in Repair and started leveling Lockpicking since it seems really useful in this game. No reason to level up big guns at this point since I guess they're pretty rare.
>>318175125
Not that I've seen in the time I've been playing. It's almost like Todd made the game based around Charisma because he's a topgun salesman
>>318169279
The Chosen One may just have a knack for energy weapons without knowing it.
That said, right out of the gate, your character is clearly a lot more worldly-aware than the rest of the tribe. It's possible your character was "chosen" specifically because they're, at least, much more open to learning things about the outside world.
>>318175072
Are you fucking kidding me? Half the time, all the things your pre-determined character has to say in any given 4-way 'choice' are SLIGHTLY different variations of the exact same shit and have the exact same outcome.
Stop kidding yourself.

Also you can fuck over your vault if you want and spend all the time dicking around in the desert until the timer runs out and they die. You literally cannot fail the main plot lines of the games after fallout 2.

No way is wrong as long as you're having fun, butyou very clearly min-maxed your character to be as ineffective in the Temple of Trials as possible. You obviously have at least some working knowledge of the game mechanics.

Well, he's sure as hell more powerful than you, but don't expect him to win the game for you. If you last long enough for him to get some levels under his belt, though, he can definitely help out.
>>318175764
Only FO4 gave you a retarded point buy, every other game has been 40 special points, 47 if you want to use the gifted trait
>>318175843
Lol no problems, Sulik fucking destroyed him.
>>318172532
He doesn't like to play sneaky characters, Anonymous, so why should he generate anyone but the clumsiest human being on the planet?
>>318175764
Take Gifted.

>>318176227
Sulik has a leather jacket, take his armor.
>>318173469
No, actually, I remember this. At some point my character's unarmed attacks were replaced with 3 AP punches and kicks. I think it might be if you meet some requirements of advanced moves, but not all of them.
>>318169046
Holy shit, I remember you when all of /v/ roasted you for blaming the game when you made your character a shit-eating cripple.
Quick, I need an unarmed spec.
>>318176287
But I'm using him as the tank basically so I'm thinking that he should have it
I've played fallout 2 so many times but I've never tried a 1 intelligence playthrough.

>>318176513
Pedophile.
>>318176432
Yeah, but I got over it. It's pretty fun actually, even if I'm not playing the best possible build.
The Rat God actually had a better knife right beside him. This one has some serious damage.
What's the worst way to play Fallout 1 ?
I remember playing with 0 luck and it was hellish.
>>318176158
Go back with him m8
Which build and game does 10 Luck + Jinxed work in? Where your enemies kill themselves critically all the time.
>>318175816
>>318175827
He actually can't use any Firearm in the entire game, as pistols require at least 4 AP to use without Fast Shot or Bonus Rate of Fire. He doesn't have Fast Shot and He can't take Bonus Rate of Fire due to no agility.
He could grab Mutate though to change out Bruiser for Fast shot, giving him +2 AP and making guns take -1 AP to fire. A Good trade indeed.
He could even use a Big Gun then as it would only cost 5 to fire.
>>318177202
2.
But you have to go with Unarmed.
>>318177202
Unarmed.
If you critically fail an unarmed attack, it can't blow up.
>>318177225
And make the game actually playable? Inconceivable!
>>318176629
Found some dynamite, so the guy who said that explosives are hard to find in the beginning of the game seems to have been wrong.
Should I use it with this locked door here?
>>318177562
Forgot pic, the locked door is right next to the container with the dynamite and the crowbar. There were some other locked doors in Klamath as well.
And then I was like yoooooooooooooooo
>>318177562
No, explosives are still rare, it's just they give you one specifically for that door.
>>318177698
Set it for ten seconds and wait next to it, when you use an explosive on a door it converts to a breach charge with no AOE, but has a chance of not going off in which case you'll need to reset it.
>>318177741
Yeah, I jammed the lock trying to lockpick it so I used the dynamite here.
It doesn't look like there's anything behind it, though. I got on the other side and all I found was Nuka-Cola on the ground. Disappointing.
>>318177909
Examine the highway man. Use repair on it
>>318177909

>>318177202
They won't kill themselves 99.99999% of the time, but it's still really fun. Just make sure your unarmed skill and AC are both as high as possible.
Now some kind of a robot attacked me, what the fuck is going on here?
>>318179137
You're going to die with 6 hp.
>>318179137
Sulik started running away (I guess his HP got too low) so I bailed as well. Some kind of a higher level quest?
>>318179240
>Not repairing the robot
Playing FO1 for the first time and it's pretty boring so far. I've just gotten out of vault 15 and tried/failed miserably to rescue Tandi from the raiders, so I'm giving up on that till I'm a higher level. When does the game start getting interesting? So far all the plot and dialogue seems like a simplistic mad max wannabe.
>>318176629
>even if I'm not playing the best possible build.
>even if the ocean has some water in it
>>318179227
Yeah, I don't want waste the stims I found in the rat place yet. I'm looking for a doctor currently.
>>318179295
Can you actually do that? A robot companion would be badass
>>318178712
One handed is really useful and jinxed is fun as fuck and game-changing. What would you like more?
Is sneaking actually viable in 1 and 2? I've never really tried it.
>>318179306
Apparently it never gets better. I'm not sure how it was a success. You just need it to understand the story and references for Fallout 2.
Just bought Fallout 2 off of GOG, I have never played the previous games in the series and have only played 3 and New Vegas.
Anything I should know off the bat when making a character? Seems stats and choices are way more important here, which sounds pretty great.
Found the trader's place and blew up
>>318165796
you have to change the path in some ini file, real simple fix, google it, I found it on gog forums
>>318179306

OBTAIN GOODNESS
>>318179642
I first played the game when I was 12 and never had that problem. If you want to be effective with a weapon class you need to have your related skill high enough. It's common fucking sense.
>>318179538
The Gifted Trait is the best in the game, take it.
Agility and Intelligence are the most important, agility more than intelligence.
>>318179486
sneaking works even when it has a shitty value, if you're in an area with a lot of annoying critters like rats, it helps to be in sneak mode because likely you won't have to fight them all.
>>318178964
>VATS
>Fallout 2
here's a tip friend, aimed attacks to places other than the torso have accuracy penalties, and you need your combat skill above at least 130 to start getting the best use of them.
>>318179921
Do you get anything like bonus damage on sneak attacks or is it mainly for staying hidden?
>>318179923
How the fuck I was supposed to know on my first time?
>>318169046
>Ag 1
>Action Points: 3
Oh lordy, is it even possible to beat the game like this?
Hold the fucking phone, when a companion equips an armor, it changes the model?
I'm currently halfway through FO2, I got Sulik to wear all sorts of things but he is still showing up with his default model.
Not that I'm really complaining, but it's the first time I'm seeing it in some of these screenshots.
>>318179473
How often do enemies actually critically fail?
>>318180059
You can tell by looking at the hit percentage when you bring it up. It fucking says it right there.
>>318180065
I'm doing pretty well so far
Now I'm in the toxic caves looking for the trapper, these geckos are pretty fucking tough though
>>318176629
>even if I'm not playing the best possible build.
Seriously, you are in denial at this point
Restart the game and put 10 in AG, you will be a happier human being.
>>318168327
Yeah we just need to savescum to totally progress! Such freedom! WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW11
>>318179692
Not with Fallout 2. The game fucks with you during the first hour or so. Makes you think "oh, maybe I should tag melee and drop some points in to it so I can actually fight off these ants and scorpions and rats with this fucking spear." Then you don't find any better melee weapons and its small arms far as the eye can see, except you already dumped a bunch of skill points in to Melee and now you're back to Miss Miss Miss with guns until you level up a bit more.
>>318180119
Yeah, it was telling me I had 52% of success, BUT FUCKING KEEP MISSING FOR 9 TIMES IN A FUCKING ROW?
>>318180203
Damn, the golden ones are fucking crazy, I have 14% chance to hit and even Sulik seems to be struggling
>>318171794
You could have just saved the Traper in the toxic caves.
Or did other quests to get sulik fro free.
Also if the game give you the option of paying for sorting thru dialogue if you drop all your cash in the barter screen you still get it but dont pay a dime.
>>318179921
Yes, but it's a perk to deal sneak attack damage from behind.
Another nice thing about sneak even if you don't put many points into or tag it is that you can use it to end combat sometimes when you might not have been able to otherwise because some retarded hillybilly sees you from across the map. Just toggle sneak during combat and hit end combat, it's great for when you're fighting in populated areas.
>>318179538
Gifted trait is must.
High agility is must.
You don't need strengh more than 6.
Tag small guns. Unarmed or melee is also good and viable choice.
Stealing is very useful.
>>318180203
>I'm doing pretty well so far
I mean, hey, you're not dead. That's relatively better.
>>318180095
Well I've only been playing for a couple days but scorpions keep flinging themselves at me and breaking their arms so it seems fairly common.
>>318177202
>>318177253
>>318177330
Unarmed, specifically because the critical fails only trigger on missed attacks (I think it gives every miss a 50% chance of a miss).
Not only does Unarmed start with a high enough bonus that you rarely miss, but you can pick up a late-game perk that drastically increases your AC when unarmed...causing many MORE misses from enemies.
>>318179642
It's almost like the game should have come with some form of documentation that describes the game mechanics and gives general tips and pointers.
>>318180059
It literally fucking tells you your chance to hit, and it's kind of obvious that that chance of hitting a guy in the eye is less than hitting him in his chest.
With the 130% thing, you learn by increasing your combat skill so you're getting 95% change to hit the eyes and aren't shit at stuff.
>>318180292
>I've never taken a statistics class.
>>318177225
He could even trade it out for Gifted. That'll raise his Agility to 2, giving him another AP, so he'll still be able to fire big guns while *also* giving him slightly more flexibility to do other, AP-requiring things.
>>318169484
That works in 3 and after, but in FO1 and 2 Agi influences your action points which are essential.
Unless of course this is bait
>>318180353
Well RIP Sulik
I guess I'll reload and come back to this quest later
>>318180095
Very often, it's like 50% of their misses if I remeber correctly. Thats why you need high AC, namely HtH Evade.
>>318172857
Fallout 2 has the ACE to increase special
>>318180513
Don't be an ass, dude. Doesn't take a genius to figure that .53^9 isn't 0, but it's remarkably low to the point that it's bullshit.

Do yourself a favor. Take all of your money, sell all of your stuff and hitchhike to Vegas.
Then, find a roulette table that's hit red eight times in a row, and put all of your money on black. There's no possible way for it to land on red a ninth time in a row.
>>318180863

>>318181021
Set your gun or give it to Sulik, you can't use it.
>>318180974
That's what this is though. 52% is 52%. They're not lying to you like they do in Pokemon games.
>>318180795
>percentages are bullshit, the game is obviously cheating me
Are you fucking crazy? You're just unlucky dude.
>>318180795
Thing is, every other 9 coin flip combination has the same probability. Each flip is independent, so you have exactly the same chance of flipping 4 hits and 5 misses as 9 misses.
Granted, it's a little off because it's not 50%, but you get the gist.
>>318181021
there will be a man named flick
shoot him and take his shit.
>>318181137
>59%
Fuck I meant 50%, you get what I mean.
>>318179538
Gifted is so useful it's boring. High agility is a great frustration-saver. High Intelligence is necessary to get all of the possible options in a conversation. It will be hard to get Big Guns and Energy Weapons for a long time, so I wouldn't recommend tagging (just) them at the start of the game.
>>318181156
There's a difference between trying to hit something with a knife with 59% rate of succes, and trying to win at the roulette table which is based on luck and there's maybe only 5-15% of succes.
>>318181021
Didn't take long to find Vic and get some work either. Easy XP, talk to some guy, get him to pay his debt.
This game is pretty easy when you don't have to rely on combat
>>318179642
That's crap. I bought the games used with no manuals and finished them just fine. My characters weren't optimal, but I still completed both games.

I found some guy who sells Jet. It increases AP, right? So I should buy all of it?
>>318181626

>>318181328
You do realize that if something has 99% chance of happening it is still possible that it doesn't happen even if you do it 10 times.
>>318181729
Too bad, already bought it all.
Now I have 9 Jets.
>>318181825

>>318165796
>savescum
Lost me there. A game is not good if it incentivizes doing that.
>>318181749
>.01^10
>That ever happening
A reasonable person who knows their shit would realize they're probably getting bad information from the 99% stat and aren't witness a numerological anomaly, which makes perfect sense in the context of Fallout when you know its a buggy mess with rolls and modifiers the player never sees.
>>318182184
You don't need 10 agility but you're going to get your little pucker rammed soon.
>>318181328

>>318182118
>>318182101
okay, it IS a good mechanic to use jet once, get addicted, and suffer penalties for the rest of your game.i'm being sarcasm
>>318182184
And now I got another level
Any idea where I should put my points into? I was thinking of more repair and lockpicking.
>>318182271
Doesn't change the fact that it could happen, even if incredibly unlikely.
>>318182408
Or maybe I should level up my small guns a bit so I can use the 10mm I found?
>>318182408
put it all into traps, trust me
Is there a keyboard command for Attack while in combat? Your basic attack? Having to scroll down and click Punch or Kick then mouse back to click on the enemy is tedious.
>>318182509
You can't use the 10mm, your agility is too low.
Unless you find a way to increase your Action points, you can never use it.
>>318182408
>>318182509
fuck guns nigger, you screwed yourself out of every single one of them
Start putting shit into unarmed.
>>318182367
Yes. It's called choice and consequence. It's literally the basis for roleplaying games.
The entire game tells you that jet is fucked up and is killing communities. There are multiple questlines involving jet and its devastation.
therefore, "I should be able to take jet with no consequences"
Lots of shit has consequences in life, even if you do it just once.
>>318182664
I just bought Jet just for that purpose
>>318168412
Fucking kek
>>318182746
Being addicted to Jet is only going to make your AP count lower.
>>318182746
Well, anyway, I went with repair and lockpicking.
>>318182367
>okay, it IS a good mechanic to use heroin once, get addicted, and suffer penalties for the rest of your life.
Fucking Real Life, who the fuck balanced this shit?!
>>318182746
>getting addicted to jet just to use the second shittiest gun in the game
el oh el
>>318182745
Why should video games be like real life? Give me one good reason.
>>318182856
Couldn't you start with 10 AP, get the -1 agility from the addiction, then get the thing that increases your agility? Then you could use jet all you want and never go below 10 AP.
>>318182408
>>318182746
>an incredibly smart and charming man with the swiftness of a stoned turtle trips over a black cat and stabs himself with a pocket full of 9 jet syringes and dies from the overdose
>guards shrug
also the captcha was 2 days late
>>318182902
Skills can go above 100%, all the way up to 300%.
The best thing is that this guy is legitimately roleplaying even though I think he's just trying to bait /v/
Like, a guy who's so fucking clumsy that he needs to huff jet just so his fucking hands get twitchy enough that he can fire a pistol without dropping it? Fucking gold, man.
If only all shitposting was this great.
>Jet Addiction now comes in phases
>Jew Addiction Phase 2 has your teeth falling out because you're literally a fucking meth addict
>-1 CHA permanent
>>318183001
You don't get -1Agility from Jet, it is a straight -1 Action Point.
Jet is special that way.Once you get the Jet Cure though you can abuse Jet for nearly infinite Action Points in combat
>>318182902
Use all your jet now, you'll get addicted but the effects will be more potent and last longer (more ap for basically the entire game if you take 9)
>>318165796
>savescum
Back in my day we just called it "loading a save when you die" and it was normal.
>>318183260

>>318183260
Don't lie to him anon, he's already trolling. Let him do it on his own.
>>318183331
Possible? Yes. Likely? No.
Coming back when fully armed/armored to kick Metzger's shit in is one of the unbridled joys of F2.
>>318183314
Jet lasts 5 ingame minutes.
>>318180793
Ace is only for like Int/per/Str and Charisma I think?
The Restoration patch does unlock a way to get +1 agi though by sleeping with miss kitty and 1 prostitute in a row in new reno.
Found Vic, I'm on a roll
He won't let me take a look at the radio even though I'm have 100% repair and instead wants me to go look for spare parts for him. Pretty dumb.

I could see the Agility penalty though, because aerosol Cow Shit does wonders for the breath.
>>318183314
Jet has a multiplicative addiction rate, so that while you'll be addicted to it, you will have plenty of time to find more and keep your AP up.
Can't wait for OP to go to Redding and clear the mine.
>>318165796
I'm pretty sure you can savescum in all the other Fallouts after 2.Fucking casual

>>318183990
talk to the guards
>>318183636
What? That's not true at all. Jet lasts 5 minutes, in game time. Not even our time, the time in game. Jet is only good for a round or two in combat.
I know you're just pretending, but still.

>>318182408
>tagged big guns
kek
You will never be able to fire any of them with 1 AG
Crank up your unarmed and punch things, since that is literally all you can do in combat with only 3 AP
By the way, AP is literally the most important stat for combat, and if you want to actually play the game right, get at least 7 and preferably 10.
can you escape the master's underground compound if you use the leader of the children of the cathedral to take you there (after killing the master of course)?
>>318169046
>AG 1
>YOU CAN LITERALLY NOT USE THE KICK ATTACK
i'm actually impressed 3 AP is the lowest.
>>318183990
(I'm rooting for you because winning the game with a 1 AG build would shut up all of the 'muh freedom' shitposters)
Honestly, you're rocking 10 CH, which means you can have five companions. if you get to a point you feel you can't win, you can always come back. I'd recommend going elsewhere and trying to get more companions and let them do the heavy fighting.
>>318184213
Aw fuck, how did I get dragged into this?
Used my first Jet now so I'm not totally useless
>>318177225
he can use BB gun, for what it's worth
>>318184312
If he switches Bruiser for Fast Shot at level 9 he could use Big Guns.
Also works if he switches it for Gifted.
Actual question here.
I'm playing through 1 for the first time after playing 3 and New Vegas, and I'm wondering if I should use Gifted. It seems like it'll make the game too easy. Also, rate the following SPECIAL for a generic shooty character, with Small Guns, First Aid and Repair tagged:
5
7
6
3
6
8
5
How does the argument go?
>you're free to do anything. if you make the wrong choices and can't beat the game, that was a choice, therefore it's a perfect game haha get it because you can fuck up like in real life
>>318184454
>ADDICT
>>318184454
>using jet
You are now addicted for live m8.
PRO TIP: you can kill the ratgod by putting an explosive near one of the wood beams with the restoration project
>>318184643
For your first time? Definitely grab Gifted.
Fast Shot might be worth it too, but that is a personal preference thing. Aimed shots don't really come into play until late game and it means you can fire your weapon twice or three times instead of once early game.
>>318184454
congrats, when that runs our you will have 2 ap.
You will not be able to fight without jet now.
>>318184454
>ADDICT
Enjoy your 2 AP.
>>318184454
Damn, they almost killed Sulik
At least now I get to loot their shit. They didn't drop any armor, sadly, so I'm still naked.
>>318184895
Actually when it runs out he will have 1 or 0 AP, as the side effect when it runs out is -4 AP.
The -1 AP from addiction only happens if he goes more than 2 days without using it.
>>318184895
That's the point. He's crippling his character as best as he can but will still be able to complete the game.
>>318184454
Congratulations, you are now going to be literally useless in a fight if you don't have your fix of jet. You will not actually have enough AP to attack anything,and you can't live your dream of being a porn star, which you totally can with 10 CHA in a certain townyou sad junkie.
But I'm rooting for you, and hope you score a big fucking stash of it. Be sure to pickpocket all the junkies and dealers you can for your fix!

I fucking love it
>>318185396

Oops, I mean Agility.
You need Agility to be a Porn Star. Endurance too, so because those are too low he can't become a Porn Star.

you wont beat the game, your literally dont have enough AP to clear the last area in in the time youll have left.

>>318186109
I asked first, you answer first. You're the one who wants every racing game to be a simulator and for your in-game character to be as ugly as you so you can't get laid.
>>318186242
That's your real life?
Anon, I'm sorry.
>>318185834
With LK like this, he's more likely to die from radiation poisoning from "accidental discharges"
Ayy yo is it viable to play as a total diplomacy/scumbag who uses underlings for any actual combat?
I wanna be the made-man, man. and I need goons for that
I came across some sort of a special encounter when I was trying to go to Klamath to find Vic's radio parts
What's this?
>>318186437
I think you can totally eschew combat skills, yeah. I'm sure there are guides for it.
>>318186242
Why should a game be based on arbitrary rules instead of grounded ones, also nice projecting, have fun being literally unable to beat the game as their is not enough jet in the game to beat the last area with 1 ag and a jet addiction.
>>318186459
Aw fuck, they killed Sulik
This isn't good
>>318186459
Even Kaga knows about what a junked-out fuckup of a "hero" you are OP
jesus christ Kaga is the best hope for the wasteland right now..
>>318182045
I had the most fun with my unarmed run. I didnt even use weapons. just barehanded.
Punching people across the map is fun as hell. Also dat flavor text whenyou insta-kill someone with a blow to the head.
"Slaver was hit in the head for 247 damage, sadly, he is too busy feeling the rush of air on the brain to notice death approaching"
>>318186459
Oh man you are fucked.
>>318186437
Yes but you'll want some agility anyway for dem action points.
How do I into pure melee build no unarmed only melee Fallout 2?
>>318186868
put points into melee
don't put points into unarmed
>>318180220
You need to savescum to cheat and get OP gear if you're so casual you can't actually play the game normally.
>>318186964
Come on anon stats, perks, weapon choices
>>318186459
Damn, I keep encountering them.
They're pretty tough. The main guy runs away after you hit him once but his pals have like 100 HP.
>>318186784
yeah, for sure .don't wanna end up like OP and roll myself some cerebral palsy. thanks

>>318175714
This, please just drop the act OP.
Never played the game before, how is this for an unarmed build?
Should you take skills over 100 points?
Like speech or lockpicking
I finally got past them.
Where's the radio though? I hope it's not behind this door, I don't seem to be able to lockpick it.
>>318187796
No, only combat stats to 150
>>318187837
really? what makes you think that?
>>318187837
Great, now it's jammed.
Where the fuck do I find the radio parts?
>>318187902
Isn't there a computer on the enclave oil rig that requires over 100 science to access?
>>318187929
The Radio is in there. In the unpatched version the door is not locked, you need explosives now. But you can ignore Vic and just head to Vault City, you get the way point from Mom.
>>318187995
Maybe, I dont remember ever leveling science.
>>318187703
>First time playing, don't really know what I'm doing

so hard.
>>318187761
I'd probably trade some points off of CHA for END, but you'll be fine. Remember to always go for the eyes, if you blind enemies they're are effectively done.
Bought myself some leather armor
>>318187761
Drop the strength, Power Armor will make it not worth having more than 6.
I'd drop Heavy handed as well, Unarmed has some great Critical % bonuses.
>>318172963
You can set it to 2x scale.
>>318186675
Do you remember your special/traits you used?
>>318188173
Some people just have learning disabilities. It must be rough.
>>318187761
>>318188187
With Heavy Handed Aimed Shots aren't really worth it, as his criticals are much less effective.

>>318188372
Yeah, heavy handed is pretty terrible. Makes Slayer a lot less potent too so you can't Kenshiro it up.
>>318188372
Ah, good point. I don't know if this is true or not but it seems like whenever you do score a hit on someone or something's eyes it is usually a crit.
>>318187761
lower CH and slighly IN, increase EN.
Unlike 3D Fallouts, here your HP totally depends on EN, because it defines how much HP you gain with level. Base is 2HP, then you get 1 HP for every 2 points of EN

Fallout 2 is by far the best and I love doing that exact same run. Haven't completed it yet. It's been a while b but I remember going south and getting combat armor and wicked weapons in this one really trapped armory. Game is so fun and fallout 4 is just reminding me how much I hate bethesda, fo3, and their complete irreverence for the gem of the series. Now while new Vegas is weird 3d fps Bullshit (unless you get the better 3rd person camera and play isometric with EVE for Classic weapons) the rest of the game does function like fo2 regarding freedom. You can solve problems any way you choose and your char build matters. Fo4 tries to "fix" 3s mistake of holding everything ransom by giving you power armor to start (cheapening it) having no level cap so you can get every perk, always allowing you to "intense training" every level. Removing skills so players track less. Then making every SPECIAL do way less. In fact the game scales SPECIAL back as they increase for diminishing returns so you'll put points evenly. The whole game is more "adventure" genre as you're doing everything, just in different orders and speeds. A great example is how I built my starting SPECIAL for energy weapons. Found out there are no skills, went science perk. Realized I still need gun nut for upgrades to energy weapons, by the time I get that I realize I'm constantly increasing my power armor cores despite always being in it, try b to upgrade it and now have to level armor smith. It's just so boring and not an rpg
>>318188743
Aimed shots have a critical chance bonus equal to the percent chance to hit the targeted part. crits on eyes are usually way more potent, though, especially if you have Better Criticals.
>>318188396
decided. My next run will be retard run
>>318188396
Idiot run is hilarious.
>>318189404
Correction, the critical chance bonus is equal to the hit chance PENALTY. So eyes have a 60% crit chance bonus.
>>318189468
Make sure to take Jinxed with 10 luck and unarmed.
>>318176441
He has over twice as much HP as you. He doesn't need it.
>>318188187
>>318188240
>>318188372
>>318188987
Ta for the advice fellas.
>>318188743
>>318189404
>>318189630
Heavy Handed is a -30 to the critical table though, more than eating up the amazing +20 from better Criticals.
You'll still Crit if you do Aimed shots, but you won't get the cool effects.
>>318187761
You don't want to tag unarmed because two people teach you it at the very start of the game
>>318188293
Str - 5
Agi - 10
Luk - 8
Other stats at your preference. I went low endurance so i had more points for intelligence and perception but anything would work.
Gifted and Small Frame or Jinxed
Power Armor + Another Item = 10 str which is more than enough for the slayer perk.
There is also a +2 increase to luk putting that up to 10.
>>318178928
No, it just sells for a lot.
>>318189886
I'm not disputing that. Crits are way shittier with Heavy-Handed, and you'll never be able to get those sweet instant death crits.
>>318189962
tribals start with higher melee and unarmed right off the bat compared to the vault dweller, I think.
>>318182045
Unarmed was really fun in FO2 for me, especially after I got Slayer.
>>318189962
Tagging it makes it easier to raise in the future though.
>>318190112
true on that, they require over 100 in crit roll. Still, there's not many things you won't devastate with x4 damage + armor bypass
One of the elements missing from FO3 onwards is the idea that SPECIAL is actually a rule in the game world - there are people like Frank Horrigan or Sergeant Doornan who are absurdly overpowered compared to normal humans and it's part of their character - in Fallout 3/4 and even NV most enemies and characters are just sitting on their asses waiting for the Golden Boy MC to do everything.
In NV you can find doctors with <40 Medicine skill
>>318189962
yes, but skills start getting pretty expensive after 125%, even with tag on. Without tag, you will have to pour tons on points
>>318165796
Right in the feels op
FO2 alongside with HMM3 are literally the best videogames ever made.
Bethesda babbies will literally defend FO3, NV and FO4 without having ever played the previous masterpieces.

>>318169046
Oh I love how: str but no end for the melee/unarmed, per but no agi for the guns, OK you're doing a non combat cha build which I can resp--no luck...what the fuck? High int for. ..nothing at all since your skills require missing SPECIAL. AND the low luck again which is essential for skill builds. No weapon despite big guns... 10/10 this joke made me uncomfortable
>>318190139
>>318190241
>>318190601
Not him but there are a ton of ways to increase unarmed without putting any points in yourself.Mainly New San Fran
>>318191149
Yes, but only to around 100%. Plenty if you're doing guns but if you actually want to do unarmed you want it as high as possible.
Free Jet just lying around here.
Still no dynamite or radios though. Mom did tell me where the Vault is though, so I guess Vic can just hang out with the slavers for now.
>>318191149
You're not going to want to wait until you get to San Fran if you're doing an unarmed build, though. Might as well suck it up and put in the points.
>>318175072
Retard of the Thread award.. ROTT medal of honor my friend. May you never realize how dumb you truly are, a shining example for all not to follow.
Found some weird place when heading towards the Vault city
>>318191258
100% is plenty when you add all the perks. Also if youUse certain punching bags after you hit 100% you can raise it further by 5% per punching bag for a total pf 115%. Unless you tagged the skill. Then you only get 4% each punching bag.
based on what you saw of Van Buren, do you think you would have liked it, or did it stray too far?
>>318191703
I would have liked to try it.
Goddamnit
Goddamn watching this FO2 shit makes me want to play Arcanum real bad.
>>>318191448
True, i was more talking about a second run where you know where most things are. Most people dont do a unarmed run on their first playthrough.
>>318191769
Have you tried the tech demo for Van Buren?
>>318191695
Not really. That unarmed blocking perk gives you extra AC for every 12% unarmed which is nice, and if you want to reliably punch people in the eyes you need more than 115% too.
>>318191854
How is Arcanum compared to FO? ive heard the name but never seen it played.
>>318191967
No, only read up on the design documents and plans.
I guess I should go look the demo up.

That is untrue.In fact, with his Speech skill so high, getting that locket will be one of the first obstacles he actually overcomes easily.
>>318191703
I felt the idea of combining Small, Big and Energy weapons into one skill but leaving Melee and Unarmed seperate was a bad idea.
>>318182408
>I was thinking of more repair
>>318192089
I haven;'t played the old Fallout games but it looks like it's pretty similar in quality and style, a little more refined aesthetically, the few voiced characters are all amazing.
It was my favorite RPG as a kid and still is today, think of Fallout 2 with Bloodborne paint, with some magic and elves thrown on top.

You might have to fight your way out if you don't have some way to pass undetected, but yes, you can escape. Nothing seals off the entrance or anything.
>>318193021
Yes, but it is literally made from Cow Shit fumes.
>>318184643
Gifted might not make the game TOO easy, but you certainly don't need it to complete the game. If you see something that looks like it'll be less effective but more FUN, then you probably won't end up kicking yourself if you take it.
Cleared some guy's garden of rats (or well, Sulik did) and almost died. It's getting pretty rough.
Uh oh

>>318193672
You can take 'em.
Great, now I'm crippled as well
>>318187761
This is Fallout 1, not 2, right?
In that case, you want to trade out Heavy Handed for Fast Shot. You need good criticals at the end of the game, and Fallout 1 is the only game in the series where Fast Shot applies to melee attacks. With Fast Shot, you can throw punches for 2 AP so long as you have some kind of knuckles. Later on, you can reduce that to ONE AP per attack, at which point you're basically Kenshiro tier.
I think it's cute how Fallout 4 has sparked this renewed interest in the original Fallout games :333

Don't worry, you'll heal up eventually.

Ya, it's 1. I might restart and do that then, 5 attacks per turn rather than 3 sounds pretty good. These radscorpions take quite a few punches.

If he is using Killap's Restoration Project then he needs an insanely high lockpick skill level, well over 100 maybe in the 200s....don't ask me why
>>318194458
Just remember, the description specifies you attack faster with *weapons*. Just your bare hands won't be effective. Luckily, I think you get free brass knuckles if you tag Unarmed.

I guess it's still not a big gun though
First time playing this game, how am I doing? Didn't notice I was irradiated until I took this screenshot. Just got inside Vault City, Sulik and Slick Vic as companions. Mostly just Sulik.
Another level already?
All these perks still look like shit

>>318191941

>>318196473
Can you even shoot guns with 1 AGI? Don't they require 5 AP to shoot?
>>318196698
1 is objectively a better game than 2 though
>>318196565
You are doing a hell of a lot better than Mr. Slowmo over there, awareness is a pretty good perk since it lets you see enemies health/equipment among other non-combat uses

I can get up to 4 AP with Jet, maybe I'll find another drug to get it up to 5

Thanks, noted.

Swift learner is kind of bad otherwise it's fine. If you don't have problems where you literally can't use guns don't be worried
>>318196675
Can you save your text and images to some sort of let's play archive? I've been lucky enough to see the threads you're in but I want too make sure I see them all. I really enjoy this
>>318196915Use jet twice
>>318197198
Does that actually work? I somehow doubt it

There's no way I have enough attention span to do something like that
I picked ranger since all other perks looked like shit and special encounters sound like fun
>be born in a primitive tribe with no advanced technology
>be able to begin game with knowledge of firearms, computer science and modern medicine

Swift Learner was a bad idea, but there's not a lot of good stuff available at level 3 anyway so you're not out much. You'll be fine.
>>318197198
Damn, it did work. Thanks.

Yes, you can stack up to two doses at a time. Supposedly you can stack up more if you abuse saving and reloading but I've never tried it.

Nice. Yeah the perk was more RP than anything else. Really great game so far.

Not without sucking down a fuckload of jet, but it doesn't matter anyway. He's not putting points into combat skills so the only thing he can do get as many companions as possible and let them do all the fighting.

90% of the time, Doctor is used for setting broken bones. It's not until Fallout 3 that it governed the effectiveness of stimpaks.
The firearms and computer science are strange, though. I often liked to headcanon that the Chosen One fooled around with the Pip-Boy in secret before getting it "officially". This could also explain how they're FAR more worldly out of the gate than their fellow tribals.

I always pick Awareness. Seeing HP values is fucking invaluable.
Is this a good build?
I played a bit with my first character, but it kinda sucked not having 10 agility, could only shoot once.
So I decided to reroll

You'll be fine.
You're basically playing Vanilla Whitebread anyway.
