Musopticon? Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 A few days back I had an urge to hit the wastes once again and this time do it with an unarmed fighter build/scientist dope. So far the game's been fun. I boxed in Reno and hit Prizefighter, saved Modoc and Gecko and I'm nearing Vault 15, after I just get that Power Fist from Francis in Broken Hills. Good times, good times. :D Anyway, on my previous play times, I've always headed to vault 13 the shortest way, maybe after doing some stuff on the starter towns like Klamath and Den, without really bothering to explore. I always figured, with the Shaman taking contact from time to time, that Arroyo would eventually die, if I didn't make haste. But this time; I had to look up some stuff from Gamefaqs(mainly where to find a super tool kit, still haven't found one as Smitty didn't have one in Den) and I found out that the game doesn't have a time limit. What the heck? Could I just take my time clearing towns from quests and enemy masses and then go to the vault on like level 42? Do the Shaman messages just stop? I've had one already. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden.

213374U Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Yeah, the messages just stop. You can't prevent your townsfolks from being snatched by the Enclave no matter how fast you find the GECK, so when a certain time passes, it's assumed the Enclave has raided your village, instead of it being triggered by your finding the thing. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

GhostofAnakin Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I did that too my first play through. I figured that stupid shaman talking to me and telling me to hurry up was a sign that I should go through quickly, but then I found out it didn't matter how fast I did things. So after that I basically did all the other areas before even bothering with the main quest. I didn't like the shaman anyway. He deserved to die for not giving me more roots for free.

Pidesco Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Actually, once I played Fallout 2 with an unarmed character for the first time, I've never been able to replay the game with an armed character again. It's awesome. At first it makes things a bit harder, but once you get enough levels you are absolutely invincible. Get all the action points perks, as you'll be running all over the place.

Kaftan Barlast Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I found out that the game doesn't have a time limit. What the heck? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They removed the second "invisible" time limit from Fallout 1 aswell because the Fallout series are the kind of games that you play and play and play.

Gabrielle Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I always take my time playing through everything in F2. I take my time with F1 even, when the time counts down to mere days when the waterchip will fail, than I'll go to the water merchants and ask them to send a shipment of water to the vault.
