You can heal a lot if I recall correctly.

 

It's been a while, but I seem to recall that I played a Doctor my first character

It's good for healing rapidly, as well as treating serious ailments like broken bones and whatnot. Unfortunately I find people usually just end up reloading the game when this happens, so there's actually little point

I never did :D

 

Well except when my character got tagged with a critical and the poor character's head exploded

 

But that was a non-optional kinda thing.

I used to be pretty bad for it.

 

 

"WTF?? My arm is broken and now my aim sucks? Screw that!"

 

"OMG my ear was bitten off, and now my Charisma sucks? Screw that!"

 

 

Since I've stopped though, I find games more exciting as they tend to be more unique on replays, and certainly more challenging.

So, I don't really need it, with the odd 15 books of First Aid(the skill's 81 without spending any points) and 75 stimpacks.

Reloads definately kill the gameplay experience

Not unless you want the boosts.

 

Of course there is a "Trick" you can do if you're the exploiting type.

 

Boost one skill to about 115 the hard way (1 point at a time) then Tag it with a perk... it'll jump to about 150-175... you can THEN (at the same time) reduce the skill back to it's base value of 115 and use the skill points for... other things

I don't tend to reload in crpgs.

 

In action games I try to reach finess and perfection, but crpgs are an...experience. I don't really know why. I just try to play without loading much at all.

Ooh, that's quite a trick.

 

Too bad I'm not up for that kind of stuff. :D

The only time I ever reload is when something happens I can't fix normally... like the time poor Imoen turned into meaty chunks due to a backstab at that undrground place in BG 1

I thought that that tagging didn't work quite like that, as it doubles your "points" in those skills, but after you reach certain values it starts costing more skill points to improve them.

 

 

How the heck did you reduce your skills anyways?

It does double and when you reduce it back down you get a massive number of points

 

You can't reduce them normally.. but when you tag the skill in the level up screen the skill will go "green" like any skill you dump points into... since the perk effectively dumps skillpoints into it.

 

Thus the skill is like any other skill you've dumped points into... until you exit the level up screen you can... remove them and add them somewhere else

Cheater!

Only after the first playthru

 

After I beat a game it's fair game

Fair enough.

 

A policy I often employ too....though depending on the game it might not be until after a couple of playthroughs.

The only time I ever broke this policy was with Morrowind... but in that case I just installed a few mods to improve the graphics. No gameplay features were modified, except from Bethesda made addons.

There are two types of people in this world....those with loaded guns.  And those that dig.

Classic.

LOL

 

Sorry, it reminded me of Minsc being Dire Charmed and he attacked me, turning my character into chunks. That's what happens when you give your npcs powerful weapons.

I have to admit that the last FO2 character I played was a female Big Guns sniper who had 10 in all stats. No, I didn't use a hex-editor to cheat, I just exploited a bug in the game, which does let you reach 10 in all stats if you plan your strategy right. Some stats need to be very low from the beginning, however, so before exploing the bug, the game is difficult indeed.

 

Favorite line from FO2?

 

"Wow! I feel as if I've passed some arbitrary experience value and gained more power!"

That line says all I hate about level-based RPGs so well

Miss "I don't cheat" hmm?

I don't cheat

 

I play a game the way it's meant to be played the first playthru.

 

I may exploit on my second +

 

I never use cheat codes or console commands.

Cheating is cheating even "exploits".

Sorry, but no. Once I beat a game I can do whatever I want with it

 

And exploits are in game effects the devs weren't capable of fixing

Afraid not.
