Plot-Spoilerless Fallout Gameplay Discussion

Sigh... There have been multiple nude mods for it since about the begining of the month. The first mods you always see are boobies, and "hey look, I made a gun that does 6000 damage!"

Heh. The front page of tessmage.com has images of his "work".  The first stage of his Fallout 3 mod is an anti-hotlink image for his own site.

I have sneak attack, sniper and mysterious stranger if hidden the initial headshot kills everything but Super Mutant Brutes.

That is cool but I am not sure I would find that fun. Of course, I could just put the sniper rifle away when I wanted to do it up close and personal.

I had one mysterious stranger visit at l20. It's pretty crap but maybe that's because I usually kill my target while in VATS.

[Yegolev]

I don't usually have much trouble taking down things in VATS, either, so I passed on Mysterious Stranger.  Basically it is a chance of an insta-kill?

[lac]

While I don't have a statistically approved amount of data on this subject, it appears to be a guy in a trencoat and a hat that insta-kills your target with his .44 magnum as you exit VATS.

[Yegolev]

as you exit VATS.

Oh, well, that's silly.  Could work if I had a non-combat character, but that also is silly.

Actually I usually lay a few mines get in close and shoot the heads of as many enemies as possible with the hunting rifle and then back off with the shotgun it's quite fun though I'm sure there are more fun ways of playing the game.

It should be noted the mysterious stranger also plays a funny James Bond-y musical cue when he shows up and kills stuff. I find it pretty entertaining, personally.

[Sky]

NPC AI really fucks with the ambush/minefield style of gameplay.

[Amarr HM]

Yeh mysterious stranger randomly turns up and kills off a target with cool music, I don't think he was really worth it though sometimes he misses if there's something in the way or he's too close, the odd time he's taken the heat off me.

[Lantyssa]

I agree Sky.  Artificial Common Sense needs to be worked on.  The chick in power armor bristling with energy weapons is probably the one who should be in front, not the wonder twins sporting the latest in tattered rags wielding lead pipes and steak knives.
