LostStraw Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 The real important question here is, how did you get a screenshot that came out? Mine always looks screwed up. The only fast thing I have turned on is running. Walking is too slow. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Using print screen gave me some black jarbled mess. I started pressing random keys (I think it was one of the F# keys) and some screenshots popped up in the main Fallout directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Raven Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Yeah that's what I got. I'll try the F keys next time. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Raven Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Just wait until they are grouped together and use an area effect weapon. Mini gun or the rocket launcher. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini gun or the rocket launcher. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was never a big guns man. I'd either have power armor and an energy weapon (if it was late in the game) or use some psycho and a shotgun. In fact, I'd say the slaughters at the slaves guild, the cathedral and the huboligist's bunker are some of the funner parts of the games, for me. Falllout combat does work for PnP. I got a hex mat yesterday and ran my PCS through some dynamic special encounters. It's a seamless transition. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

Judge Hades Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I always like shooting the alien blaster into people's groin, though super sledging Morpheus in the groin was quite relaxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atreides Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 The groin shots were fun the first hour, but what I found really useful was shots to the legs. That seriously made super tough battles beatable for me. I'd hobble these melee creatures then keep running out of melee range and keep shooting at them. Spreading beauty with my katana.

I'd hobble these melee creatures then keep running out of melee range and keep shooting at them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> With a weapon you could only find AFTER you completed Fallout 2 you had a very high chance of insta-gibbing people with burst-mode, even if you did only a fraction of their health in damage. Worked especially well on Super Mutants. But a aimed shot to the eyes, blinding them, worked wonders for me. Not only did you score a major critical hit, you could sometimes just outright kill them in one shot and still have enough AP's over to move away or pick off another target. Bugs? Klingon Software does not have 'Bugs'. It has FEATURES and they are too sophisticated for a Romulan pig like you to understand! HK-47: "Recitation: First, weapon selection is critical. If I see one more idiot attacking a Jedi with a blaster pistol, then I'll kill them myself." HK-47: "Answer: Select grenades, sonic screamers, cluster rockets and plasma charges. Mines are also effective, since many Jedi will run to meet you in hand to hand combat. Silly Jedi." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorian Drake Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 (edited) I like good turn based combat. But that's not what this thread is about. This thread isn't about me not playing Fallout, a game I love, either. This game is about how goshawful Fallout's combat was. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I love its combat! Was very Good, and had nice feats to improve the action points! Edited September 24, 2006 by jorian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 (edited) They need another great game with cool critical shots like Fallout. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd be happy with a game that has texted-out criticals again "Molerat is critically hit in the head for 211 points of damage. The sound it makes is not unlike a bag full of soup hitting concrete." I played a bit of NCR today, that part where the crazy guy blows himself up, and I realized how well they did the multiple-solution deal. You can a. talk him out of killing himself b. kill him c. let him explode and then fix the computer or d. let him explode and let the girl fix the computer. It seems to me like most RPGs are content to only let you do A and B, or in Oblivion's case, B. Edited September 24, 2006 by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

Judge Hades Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 It is too bad that Fallout 3, if Bethesda follows the model of their last game, will be real time. It will making called shots like that impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
