>>13734371

Yeah I thought the system was in the older games, this combat is pretty boring so far. Is it better in 2?

>>13734935

I have no words.

>>13734972

Nevermind I'm retarded, apparently VATS is called targeted attack and I shouldn't have taken fast shot.

>>13734303

A chinese post apocalypse would have you hunting down radioactive dogs to eat.

Know that it's a shallow low-content game with bad controls and bad mechanics that doesn't live up to the hype.

>>13734935

It's mildly better in 2. For once thing, ammo type actually does something in 2. You can also do a bit more with unarmed combat. Still a bag of shit though.

>>13735154

>>13735157

You can stop trying, Todd.

>>13735030

Sweet christ. A plus trolling, I got to admit.

>>13735154

You shut your whore mouth.

>>13735157

Ammo type means exactly jack and shit in both Fallout 1 and 2 beyond "works" and "is shit" unless you mod it due to a bug. Just don't use AP, ever.

>>13735162

>Tictacs at top

>POS above NV

no

>>13735185

NV is trash

Tactics is a masterpiece.

>>13735162

Wrong.

1 > 2 > Jagged Alliance 2 > Tactics >>> NV >>>>> BoS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3=4

>>13735191

You are objectively wrong about NV

Tactics is fun, but not a masterpiece

>>13735204

Getting warmer.

>>13735210

Nah it's pretty spot on. Tactics was a better game than NV, unless of course you meant 2 > 1

>>13735233

I don't really see a difference in gameplay between 1 & 2, but the meme writing sets 2 lower for me tbh. Also I set NV pretty low and it is better than BoS which isn't saying much.

New Vegas >*

>>13734303

That would be SMT lad

>>13735223

1 is better than 2 for most non-mechanical reasons. 2 is mechanically superior, but filled with some silly shit that needn't be there and New Reno was sort of silly as well.

>tactics is better than NV

NV's story, worldbuilding and so on are objectively better than Tactics, even with the non-fleshed-out Legion. Tactics has the advantages of being properly isometric and having decent mechanics (pinched shamelessly from JA2) but is SHIT storywise. I consider them to be in a dead heat overall (Tactics had a ton of shitty perks too, whereas the amount of objectively shit perks in NV is honestly fairly low). Calling POS better than NV is just absurd, though. FOBOS was absolutely wretched.

>>13735233

>dismissing NV as oblivion with guns 2

Shoo shoo NMA goblin

>>13734269

Invest in sniper rifle, and aim for the eyes in VATS, works well. Also make sure your intelligence is above 5 or you are retarded and people cant understand you. It locks you out of quests.

>>13735295

If you're going to shine the troll on at least be funny and recommend he dumpstat intelligence and pump endurance and charisma.

>>13734269

Skip 2, it's the Bordermemes of Fallout

>it's a "HURR BETHESDAGAMESRBADBECUZISAYSOS EREREREREREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" poster

Nevermind, bordermemes would be right up your alley.

>>13735318

We know it's you Todd, you fucking manlet

>>13735289

A reskinned JA2 is still much better than NV. Going from turn based to an aRPG is downright retarded even if "MUH STOWY" is better. Granted, if Obsidian had more time they'd probably go back to the old Fallout formula but you can thank Bethesda for that.

>>13735295

Rerolling now, I think I'll do this instead. Is high charisma worth it?

>>13735185

Not trolling, whats this ammo type bug and should I fix it?

>>13735347

Charisma in FO1 is USELESS, just go high int high speech, new speech options are given by INT not Charisma, as it should have been.

Also, another strike against Tactics - if you actually play it like a proper BoS chapter (no fucking ghouls, muties or deathclaws) and keep Barnaky happy it's considered the evil route. Also also Barnaky is a bad guy for some reason because fuck you. Also also also FUCKING TALKING HAIRY DEATHCLAWS WHY.

>>13735347

>Not trolling, whats this ammo type bug and should I fix it?

Yeah, no, you broke Hanlon's Razor within 3 posts, you aren't fooling me. The AP bug never got fixed because fixing it fucked with ALL ammo for some damn reason and honestly the best shit doesn't need AP ammo.

>>13735371

CHA is the optimal dumpstat in both FO1 and FO2 (unless you really want a posse in FO2 or have very low STR and need Sulik/etc along to packmule shit for you).

>>13735347

I don't like you.

>whats this ammo type bug and should I fix it?

Different ammo types do jack shit. Just play it as is on your first run. If you had fun and want to play the game again, then apply some patches.

I wonder if we'll ever get a fallout game again were we can play as a ghoul, not counting mods of course.

>>13735570

Yes. Wouldn't use it for your first time through the game, but it's nice (one of the few good things to come out of NMA).

>>13735582

Last time I tried it I think it crashed the game? Some dialog with Myron was bugged anyway. But yeah, it does from what I remember. Restoration project is a must-have and it's a great mod, first playthrough or not. It adds depth and new stuff.

This is almost up there with the pedo RP autist who drank from the toilets in Little Lamplight for "character development".

>Besides, hes a good chemist for jet on the road.

I generally just parked him somewhere convenient and occasionally used him to make super stimpaks. He's pretty awful in every other way.

>Marcus

Marcus is sort of bro-tier but he's really terrible for a number of reasons.

>>13735668

>>13735670

Christ now I wish I had saved the caps. Some guy RPed a pedophile in FO3, followed the Megaton kids around like a creeper, got to LL and fixated on the one little girl, got to the toilets in LL and drank himself into rad poisoning death because it was RP. Someone must have the screencaps of that, it gets posted from time to time. I'll look around a bit.

>>13735685

I vaguely remember something like that but I wish I had caps of this.

Consider the following: Take Fallout 3 and replace every instance of the name "Enclave" with "(Midwestern) Brotherhood of Steel". Turn the Lyon's Pride into their own thing, too, because fuck that. Is Fallout 3 now vaguely interesting?

Note the "Enclave" power armor in Fallout 3 being really strongly modeled after the Midwestern Brotherhood of Steel power armor from Fallout Tactics, too.

>>13735709

Try harder, I can still make out the letters in my original pic.

>>13735714

Except it doesn't make any sense now, anon. Which would make it fit right into FO3, now that I think about it.

where's that mod list for fallout 3?

>>13735719

>Enclave

>Bad guys

>>13735723

I don't give a shit for the Enclave, they all died at Navarro and the Oil Rig, the end.

Fuck you FO3 for bringing them back from the dead

>>13735722

nv i mean

>>13735719

Throw out the intended reading of Fallout 3, as well. Who says the nation expending their greatest military assets and personnel to civilise the nightmare land that DC has become are the bad guys?

>>13735718

kek

>>13735718

It's gotta make more sense than the Fallout 3 we have. Except… where's Washington DC? Oh, fuck, that's a big issue of geography.

>>13735754

How about this, DC is a wasteland since it was bombed to shit, groups of violent tribesmen and mutants are pushed to the old DC wasteland due to the advancement of the Midwestern BOS, DC becomes a battleground for all the several tribes, some more peaceful than others.

The player can pick either tribe or join the BOS in wiping out all the tribes or just assimilating them to expand the BOS.

That's just how I would see it.

>>13735735

That's because fags save them, post them on kikebook, save them, post them elsewhere and repeat it for like 10 iterations until jpgs become unreadable and pixelated to shit due to constant recompression.

>>13735767

No, it fucked up the dialog with him and sometimes caused crashes last time I played, some year or more ago, but I think that got patched already. The fag forgot to put brackets somewhere so it fucked with Myron's dialogue. Go check on the forums, they are actually a strangely active community for a 18 year old game.

>>13735767

I said ALMOST. (Turning tricks for Mynon to get your Jet fix is nearly as nasty. Nearly.)

>You're the anon who doesn't use buffs in combat aren't you?

I just don't need them. The only really crazy-good chem is probably Psycho and the addiction/withdrawal symptoms for it suck hard. Mentats are useful OUT of combat at times, but the only time Buffout's worth a damn is when you're trying to force doors and shit (and you don't have the implants/power armors yet).

>>13735986

You don't even need to minmax in FO2, but I have rarely had a problem that I needed chems to fix. ESPECIALLY if I pick Gifted.

Dumping Strength is generally not a great idea. I usually start it at 5. Does fine, you get the implant and power armor by the time you really need more strength on hand in a more permanent fashion. Small Frame will nick your carrying capacity a bit if you pick it, so don't dump strength and pick Small Frame.

Agility should absolutely never ever be dumped. I baseline at 8 minimum, that's if I go both Small Frame and Gifted which take it to 10. If you don't want to use the incredibly broken Gifted, start at 9, pick Small Frame anyway.

Luck can be dumped but it results in bad times (or hilariously bad times if you took Jinxed). I don't dump luck because I like the Sniper perk. Go 8 to start if at all possible, get the +2 luck Zeta scan from the one Hubologist, and take Sniper at 24. Have fun faceraping everything with Gauss Pistol/Rifle.

Intelligence you only dump if you really want to play a stupid character. Otherwise, start as high as possible. 9 Intelligence is not irrational if you can get the statpoints for it by dumping/choosing Gifted.

Perception is kind of nice, but not critical. Starting value of anywhere from 5 to 7 is fine.

Endurance I usually go anywhere between 1 and 4. HP is alright and all but being able to murder shit in the first few turns is better. Usually if you're in a situation where you need gobs of HP something has already gone really wrong/you're under-armored/both. That said, 1 Endurance to start makes for a really challenging run through early game, so use discretion.

Charisma is the prime dumpstat. I never take it higher than 6 AFTER Gifted and the blue memory module and the mirrored shades. Dump it completely if you want to just solo. Barely matters. Keep in mind that the kickass combat implants slash your charisma score a bit if you max them (worthwhile trade, IMO).

>>13736182

Oh, keep in mind the Gain Foo perks. Don't use them for EVERYTHING, but a few are worth it, depending on your situation/build.

Worthwhile perks are Awareness (there aren't many other decent perks at that level), Better Criticals (makes shit blow up REAL good), Sniper (Slayer if melee, Slayer's ridiculous and you don't need uber luck with Slayer), and a handful of others I can't remember off the top of my head. Crits are godly in FO2 especially, having a good crit rate when you snag the .44 Mag revolver turns you into an angel of death, and when you get Gauss weapons later you can oneshot shit a lot of the time with Sniper and good LK.

As for combat tactics, targeted shots are your friend. Eyeshots are great for crits. Deathclaws you shoot in the legs first, because their AI is dumb and if you cripple their legs they try and run (which they've suddenly become really bad at). Most robots/machines become completely helpless if you shoot their sensors.

>>13736277

>Diplomat character

Lockpick is a better tag than Doctor, honestly. Lockpick is stupidly useful. But Small Guns and Speech are solid picks. CH is excessive even for a diplo character, but you do you, it can still get through the entire game without much of an issue I wager.

>>13736277 (noice)

Like >>13736285 said, skills like lockpicking and sneak are far more useful than doctor (with a Doctor Skill of 60-80%, you can get successful heals almost every time). Also, Inteligence is very important because apart from defining how many skill points you get every level, it also gets you access to more dialog options.

>>13736307

>You're supposed to minmax within the confines of your build

wat does this mean

I've run a number of different builds and the hands-down most ridiculously good but still-fun one was the posse gifted gunslinger. It's impressively difficult to make an unplayable build in FO2, really.

Anyway, traits to stay away from:

Bruiser is so bad. So, so bad. You do not want to sacrifice action points.

Heavy Handed is something you only do if you dumped luck. Maybe. It's really crap otherwise.

All the others are either conditional/for RP purposes/fun or actually good.

if you really want just utter fucking cheese roll a high LK unarmed Gifted Jinxed character and watch enemies literally kill themselves. It's funny for a gimmick playthrough.

>>13736333

See having a gimmick or a special skill is better, like a gifted gunslinger, but how you were explaining it before was just

>these are all the best skills to get and be unstoppable

Which is dale, sanitized and stale. The best builds find a way to make themselves OP within the confines of their inception.

>gifted jinxed

I've done the jinxed playthrough which was fun as fuck i'll admit. I've still never actually played a proper retard playthrough tho.

>>13735395

>>13736687

Wasteland 2 is… flawed. If you can snag it for cheap, go ahead I guess, but I just was not having anywhere near as much fun with it as I had with old Fallouts and the first Wasteland. YMMV.

>>13735347

If you're serious about getting into this game, and you're not just trolling, then get used to failing a few times. It's not a shooter with "RPG elements." It's an RPG. If you're not used to the genre you are going to fail A LOT until you learn.

>>13735347

Don't forget to save in multiple slots.

>>13738180

Oh god this. Yes. Also, unless you want to do an Iron Man run save before you travel between major locations. Some random encounters (and some special encounters, depending) can absolutely fucking ruin your day.

>>13734303

Well Near A Tomato was actually decent post apocalyptic game. It was one of few times we actually saw post apo world that didn't get its shit together. Pretty much of instead of struggling to survive a struggle for a reason to keep surviving.

Besides that:

Dark Souls and pretty much every other Souls game.

Tokyo Jungle is what you want for your answer.

SMT was already said but still there is that.

God Eater and Code Vein?

Problem is Japs and other Mongoloids like to throw apocalypse like Western media like to use ancient civilizations. One giant plot device for them to do stuff that is essentially magic. Sometimes developed nicely but more often nothing interesting is done with it.

>>13740318

>>13739738

Same question.

>>13735181

lol, what is with this insistence that criticism for the original isometric shitheaps must come from modern Fallout fans? You understand the original games being bad doesn't preclude the FPSs from being shit too, right?

>>13734269

Is there a reason the Fallout 3 logo is on the NV box art?

>>13740019

fallout 4 is a bioshock game written by bioware that got rebranded fallout mid development cycle

>>13741187

lol what is with this insistence that games which are liked by people who like a certain genre must be bad because children have gotten older and pretend to be fans? You understand that games don't just get worse because you like the little noises Mario makes when he jumps, right?

>>13741233

So what you're saying is it's some autists desperate futile attempt to omit and butcher reality in favour of their own opinion of what they think of as canon.

Face reality, FO3 exists and it's not NV, sadly for all you FO1 and 2 blowjobbers it's better known and more playable than both the earlier iterations too.

>>13741285

I'll just nb that with: All Fallout games are retarded.

>>13741233

You paint me as retarded Wojack but:

>NV is the only one worthy of even being considered a PREDECESSOR to the originals

That would mean it was set before the originals.

>>13741230

So is Fallout 3 though

>>13735343

You forgot to take that POS Fallout 3 out of the Main seires dumbass.

>inb4 muh new vegas

Shit wasn't much better than 3 and just because it was made by a bunch of the original guys doesn't mean it was good - just look at Raven Software, no one is defending their crappy CoD games because they made awesome shit like Black Crypt, Heretic, Solider of Fortune back in the day, so fuck off with the Obsidian meme.

>>13742932

His own conversations say as such. When he talks about "playing at war"

They were already raping and enslaving long before he arrived, he was just more effective at it, hence why he's top dog.

>>13742952

>Take over a ranger station, the supposed best of their soldiers, and take one of the women for fun

>Burn Novac to show you can be anywhere in the mojave

Frankly, the only possible successes ncr has is due to intervention, like the bomb that we stop at mcarran, otherwise it'd work and boom. But it also shows the perfectly placed spy network.

Then there are the fiends harrying the ncr and even raping their snipers, who admit to working for legion.

The only way the NCR one the first time is because graham is an idiot, the ncr blew up a city to win and they still barely won, after blowing up an entire city and having a superior commander in the battle eg: hanlin

>Muh legion is isis

You tried. Poorly, but you tried.

By your logic, you can't shit on someone for being the best at twerking.

>>13743017

Hardly. Using horrific acts in order to stabilize and get rid of horrific acts is an entirely different premise.

>>13743045

The plan to save civilization is to use the total war tactics of savages to unify a balkanized region, along with creating single culture. Tribals have no objective, no goal, and commit monstrous acts without reasoning. Equating that to a unified states army is moronic. You cannot think past your own initial emotions.

Myron looks like Reviewbrah

People comparing the legion to isis always leave me confused to say the least

The enclave is still the most powerful and populated faction, even after losing ravenrock.

I believe we deal only with the presidential division, both in fo2 and fo3. There is absolutely no way for the enclave to be reduced to an oil rig and a refueling station by the time of fo2.

If you say that is silly for the presidental division to be relocated on the other coast, i agree. But to say the enclave should be dead, that's just retarded.

>>13743895

People with a similar problem to (you) >>13742790 and him >>13741233 wore 'Spoiler Alert: Hilary Wins' t-shirts.

I played FO3 more than NV and I've played NV through twice. That some fags are so precious about this series concerning anything past FO2 is lolworthy, the whole series is fucking stupid and shoddily made, the complaints people level at 3 are hilariously weak as nearly all of them apply to NV and NV has many of its own problems to boot.

The first 2 are relics and not very good ones but I understand the aggro from having a series dragged up/bastardised by a group they don't like. However what would make the whining a tad more justifiable is if those people actually played any of the earlier games when they were relevant and wasn't a load of retroactive: "Looky at me I'm such an oldfag cos I pirated them off GOG last year" that we actually see.

I mean fuck, you complain about FO3 when FO4 exists? When does it stop mattering to you? When do you realise your precious canon is meaningless in the face of IPs changing hands?

.308 JSP and .45-70 JFP mostly because they're the ur-endgame-ammo types more or less. Also, how does +P 9mm handload stack up versus the other common pistol calibers? (I really like Maria.)

>>13745302

SWC for 45-70, I mean. Fuck me.

>>13745302

>>13745309

Wait a sec I thought +P was the 9mm handload, not JHP. Fuck it's been a while.

Don't you have a Call of Duty to be opening Lootboxes in?

>Tale of Two Wastelands

God damn that mod is an abortion. Never take a smart story and mash it into a stupid story, the contrast between the two locations makes Fallout 3 look worse and drags down New Vegas. I guess at least it makes some people see how shit 3 is by comparison.

You are fucking retarded, full stop. You need to stop posting.

Anyone fall for the kickstarter meme for A.T.O.M. RPG?

(Shilling site goes here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/atomrpg/atom-rpg)

>>13745357

Have my game set up like that, except the enemies can actually fuck me up pretty bad. Pretty fun for the 30 minutes it will run before crashing.

>>13745383

I only use Tales Of Two Wastelands so I can play the DLC like the Pit, I always use the NV start, and take off for the Fallout 3 DLC at the end, It's kind of satisfying.

>>13735223

Tactics had brain-dead dialogue options. Exactly like Ford Model T paint options.

>>13748263

Your special stats are garbage. Should have had a couple 9s or 10s and luck down to 1. At least, in my opinion. Luck is a useless dump stat and perception is of the most important combat skills. Doctor is a nice thought for a tag skill, but I prefer a more utilitarian skill like lockpick, science, even sneak isn't a bad choice.

>>13748263

Also, you don't know the true beauty of having ten agility. Shoot twice in one turn? Yes please.

>>13748483

>At least, in my opinion. Luck is a useless dump stat and perception is of the most important combat skills.

Luck is a useless dump stat until you want to actually crit something which you need to do in order to do serious damage in mid-late game. Or get some spending money from gambling tables. Or avoid the exploding brahmin encounter which will fucking murder you. Or not get absolutely fucked by the Pariah encounter.

Luck is an extremely shaky choice for dump. I'd dump Endurance before Luck, Charisma before both.

>Also, you don't know the true beauty of having ten agility. Shoot twice in one turn? Yes please.

10 Agility is nice but you hardly need to nuke Luck to do it, nor should you. As for shooting twice, that's nowhere near as important in early game as you seem to think, and by mid to late game you'll have secured BRoF and Action Boy. Early to early-mid shoot and scoot is perfectly viable against melee opponents, and against ranged opponents the bonus AC you get from shooting and applying the leftover AP to AC is amazingly helpful.

>>13748483

I wasn't going for perfectly optimized stats, I went in blind with the idea of playing a more passive character.

>>13735204

>JA2 in this list

That's… not even remotely the same thing as the average fallout game.

Sure, Fallout 4 needed more finishing, but was better than fallout 1 and 2, 3 and new vegans in terms of gameplay

>>13735466

>>13735486

Far Cry 2 is the closest thing you're gonna get, and it's a fairly flawed game.

>>13748731

You need to keep Endurance at least at 4 for a certain perk with extra hp, and some charisma grants you additional pack mule companions. Because they serve only a little more use than that.

I greatly appreciate your uppity dismissive attitude.

>>13752579

I just decided to explore and went south. I went the correct way the second time.

>>13748263

In your first playthrough if you are going in blind you are probably going to lose because of shitty building. It's just part of the game if you feel underpowered it's because you did something wrong.

>people who like FO3

lmao

>>13752817

Made it to NCR and did the quest for the area involving Vault 15.

The only issue I have is if a group of enemies surrounds and targets me as long as enemies focus on my team mates I win the encounter.

After completing the quest I now have 12k caps and plan to either get into Westin's Ranch, or start looking for the other part for the car then go town to town and buy up Stimpacks with all the extra weapons I have.

>>13750623

4 EN is optimal and Lifegiver is nice but it's really not that difficult to get away with dumping EN once you've got decent armor. That said, even 1 CH gives you a single follower, which is fine unless you're an incorrigible packrat. Sulik is also absolutely brutal when you put a Sharpened Spear in his hands. Like, goddamn he will fucking wreck shit. When you get the Super Sledge he's an absolute god of melee (but he does really well with the .223 pistol if you're so inclined). That all having been said, take Gifted and Small Frame and you don't have to dump ANYTHING.

>>13751535

Melee is very viable. Unarmed is harder. For melee, you want to do Honest Hearts DLC as soon as you think you can handle it.

>>13752522

Mistakes you probably made:

1. You seem to think %50 is bad. That's actually decent for the start of the game. Learn to shoot and scoot - rats have shitty AP and it's pretty easy to make them waste them if you move strategically. Even in that cave.

2. You should go to the nearest town you see, which is Shady Sands. You wasted a ton of time fucking off directly to Junktown.

3. You can get the Overseer to give you more supplies, believe it or not.

4. Run from random encounters like that, early on. They aren't worth it. You should be able to outrun early radscorpions if you have as much agility as you say you do.

5. Use First Aid instead of blowing stimpaks. Even if your First Aid skill is low, just use it over and over again until you can't anymore. First Aid is fine for rat bites.

>>13753251

>For melee, you want to do Honest Hearts DLC as soon as you think you can handle it.

For the War Club?

>>13753461

AKA The Slayer of Gods. Upgraded, the War Club is absolutely absurd. Upgraded and with all the relevant perks and a bit of chem help it's BROKEN and will destroy absolutely everything.

Honorable mentions to the Thermal Lance, Super Sledge, Ripper and the upgraded Baseball Bat for early work. Melee is spoiled for good choices in NV, really.

>>13753483

Ah, so I assume this would be a Heavy Handed build. I remember loving the War Club, but I generally don't base builds around the DLC weapons because they're a PITA to obtain. I guess I'll make a Heavy Handed build and throw crits out the window this time, although it'll suck to miss out on all the free money from the casinos.

I absolutely love the sound the Baseball Bat makes when it connects. Most satisfying sound in NV.

>>13753989

That happens occasionally, it's a known bug IIRC. I know I was able to kill the Slaver's Guild once without killing the slaves but I don't remember if that was with or without the killap restoration patch. Pretty sure there's a Ranger quest where you can whack the Slaver's Guild later on anyway without issue

>>13754108

It ended up that not all the slaves attacked, just a few house niggas.

I hope this car was worth while, I trekked all over the place till I got that Wrench. My goal is finish up any small quests in the starting areas, Klamath, Gecko, Vault City maybe Redding, to try and get a few levels.

Dont know why people give Fallout 2 a bad rap, been throughly enjoying my playthrough.

>>13753989

Fallout 1 or 2 were always filled with small Monty python references or other movie/tv show jokes. If i remember correctly there were even MORE planned but they were cut out of the game due to time or just because they were unfinished.

You have the jsawyer installed. You should understand why it makes perfect sense for you to be assblasted by a flock of deathclaws.

>>13744398

underrated post

>>13755794

When did I say it's unfair? The whole point of my testing was to see which out of Melee and Unarmed performed better in clearing out Dead Wind cavern, and Melee proved to be far superior thanks to the Mauler special attack. Besides, JSawyer has little to do with this; if anything, it's BLEED's increase of limb and head damage multipliers that makes them harder to survive against.

>>13761371

>"Also why the fuck does Vic run away from EVERY fucking encounter ? Its absolutely frustrating, I gave him a Sniper, good armor and he still runs. Also, I cant stand when companions just dont attack, for what ever reason and just stand in place the WHOLE fight."

If you replay the game eventually, you can use the "Sfall" mod/script to give you control over your teammates in combat. This makes you incredibly overpowered, but you can enjoy it for a while

>>13761371

Vic runs away because he is genetically inferior.

>>13761371

Protip:

pistols and shots to the eyes kill anything and ignores armour.

Any way to get my companions into the Oil Rig without setting the whole base after me ?

I have managed to get and clear the third floor, both times though I lost one companion that I dont want to lose namely Sulik and Cassidy, the other two stupid shit Vic and Brainbot I could care less about.

Combat wise we can handle the Enclave, its just the AI making dumb decision that gets them killed, ie running into a fucking machine gun turret. Both Sulik and Cassidy both have power armor as well.

I wonder if dumping Vic (no power armor) and Brainbot would allow us to pass into the base undetected. Also, its weird but I swear the Power Armor set I gave to Cassidy is bugged sometimes, its like he gets hit for full damage.
