Fallout: great game after bad first impression

[Excidium II]

I don't get it

 

[AArmanFV]

It's loaded, mods? I don'r remember the rules.

 

[octavius]

May be loaded vs not loaded.
Mods: only the TeamX patches and NPC mod.

 

[octavius]

Holy shit, that 14mm pistol makes one hell of a noise!

 

[Sentinel]

If you dealed before with the mutant base.

Alternatively you can end the game by siding with the mutants.

 

[AArmanFV]

Yes, but I consider it like a fail ending (like a death but with another secuence)

 

[octavius]

Nervously I handed Katja an SMG, but I've noticed she uses single shots instead of the dreaded burst mode.
Is there a difference between Katja and Ian, or is it due to the TeamX mods?

 

[AArmanFV]

I think she is not skilled in those weapons, and I don't even bothered with her.

She says she's skilled with SMGs, but she doesn't mention other firearms.

Followers in FO1 cannot change their armor so they die easily in late stages of the game. I would not bother with them if you are past Boneyard.

She says she's skilled with SMGs, but she doesn't mention other firearms.

I see, maybe I confused with someone else. "Viewing wiki": Only says big weapons and energy, the other is melee. She was he leader?, when I went to the followers I recruted a "nobody" girl that said she only was good with throwing weapons and don't remember wat else.

Anyway, don't bother with that.

Katja is not a leader, and is the one I recruited. You are probably thinking of Nicole, who says violence is not the answer, yet has an impressive weapons collection in the library.

 

[AArmanFV]

Okay then, when I recruited her she wasn't so useful.

Okay then, when I recruited her she wasn't so useful.

That's what I too found out, which is why I gave her an SGM to hopefully make her more useful.
But the SMG does little damage in single shot mode, so I gave her a 14mm Pistol instead, since apparantly it sorts under the same companion skill as an SMG.

Doesn't it look like an SMG on the sprite? I think what limits which weapons characters can use is mainly whether they bothered making sprites holding it or not.

Why do you use companions in Fallout at all?
At first playthrough i though i can use them as pack mules but then i had to kill Ian because he refused to return my stuff

Why not? They cost nothing. If they die they die.

Nah, combat is not that bad men, c'mon. Sorta off-topic:

Spoiler

I was not able to finish this game, i tried like three times, after 5/6h i get bored as fuck men this ambiance makes me nauseous. those colors are so boring. I know this sounds retarded but i just don't like it for no real reason and yeah i really wanted to like this game. I think this and F2 are the only games from codex top 20 i couldn't stomach. Anyway, l'm going to give it another try today.

 

[Excidium II]

I love the colors. I love the grafics of Fallout in general.

 

[Haplo]

I struggle to find something I don't love about this game

Well, inventory management, I suppose.

 

[octavius]

I hate the companions and allies getting in my way, and the stupid combat AI (running up to point blank using up all the APs for example).
Inventory management is pretty bad too. Why the hell can't the newest items be on top of the list so you don't have to scroll down to the bottom every time you change items?
Apart from that I think Fallout is great, and one of very few CRPGs where you can actually role play a character in a meaningful way.

 

[octavius]

So how far can you with high Perception, high Small Arms skill and a Sniper Rifle?

Having Small Frame and average Strength means I can't use the heaviest weapons. But generally I can take on Super Mutants as long as they don't get too close with Flamers or Mini Guns. Thankfully there were lots of cannon fodder in The Cathedral, and I haven't met any with Rocket Launchers yet.
Both my bitches died in The Cathedral, so now it's just Ian, Tycho and two Follower Scouts left as I'm about to take the elevator down to Lou Tenant.

 

[Excidium II]

^ You don't have PA yet?

 

[AArmanFV]

You can basically still finish the game, I don't know if you met the master yet, but there are like 3 solutions to finish that job, and the mutant base it's even easier.

 

[octavius]

Second level of the vault under the Cathedral got rather hairy, so I retreated. But I learnt the excact locaction of the Mutant Base. So I'll head for The Glow to qualify for some Power Armour before mutilating mure mutants.
