Any questions? Post them here! (Same one as in GS forums)

Like Tactics? Found a cool mod for another game that reminds you of Fallout? Playing those crappy spin-off console games called "Fallout"? Discuss here.

That spam comment wasn't directed at you. I know it wasn't spam, just saying to all readers to try and keep this topic as spam free as possible. That particular link isn't spam, just evil. It links to the old forums, if we were in the arena I would butcher you, but I have to behave here.

Ok answers:

1) In the robot installation levels, to work the terminals.

2) Probably Energy weapons or Small Guns, it's down to personal preference.

3) Personal preference, mine were:

Myself (Leader/explosives expert/assaulter)
Farsight (Sniper)
Stich (Medic/assaulter)
Trevor (Grenades expert)
Kevin (Mechanic/assaulter)
Jo (Driver/Heavy Weapons expert)

4) Again, personal preference but I would say that Energy is better overall and more ammo is avaliable.

energy definitely is better since there is little resistance to it.
Mutants cant wear Telsa armor so they would be downright defenseless if you were to assault them with laser/plasma. EMP is the prime tool to counter robots with. Its is my experience that Big guns tend to do far too little damage against the robot's plated armor.
Imo energy beats all

Lynxer makes a good point about energy weapons, based on that the best tags skills (for my way of playing) are:

Small guns (The first kind of weapons that are any good)

Energy weapons (They rock)

Gambling (To get free items)

Babs has 150%++ on Steal skill,yet, when I try to steal money, usually when more than 1000, I get busted. But when I try to rob barnaky of his Avenger, I get away...something is definitely wrong here, rite?

Its because money isn't wieghtless like in FO and FO2. It has a wieght of 0.1 or something like that when it comes to stealing so try to steal money in small amounts.

Yeah, stealing has become weight based. So heavier items are harder to steal that more valuble. Makes sence actually, a gem is easier to steal that a chunk of Platinum.

0.1 Thats right. In the unpatched versions it was 0, so stealing was easy. Now it's 0.1, to prevent it.

Yes, game over. If you manage to survive the reinforements, then when you exit the base, you get game over.

I would of liked ot be able to slaughter the BOS (you sick bastard, Stainless) and defect over to the raiders....alas, you can't.

Good idea for a map (I hope Max-Violence will read this) it should be! A fugative ex-BOS member on the run from the BOS troops persuing him until he can find better weapons to take them out with.

My silly FOT question:

I recently bought it. It has a 4-disk case, but only 3 CD's. Am I missing one?
I'm not insane, I'm just misunderstood. Unless I misunderstood the meaning of "insane".
