Insofar as the speed loaded .44, I noticed that Miria (I'm using the Miria for Real Mod) will engage a secondary target, but not with the desert eagle. Maybe it's something with the weapon aside from the AP totals? I had wanted to give a speed loader pistol to Cassidy, as he seems to be a...

One of the persistent gripes that I've had with the FO series is the total lack of fire control that you have over your NPCs. I mean, there is the combat control screen, which moves in the right direction but does not allow for absolute control. There should be a mandatory choice of never...

I'm certainly not advocating having a newsstand on every corner, LOL... Just another way to gently bump up some of the other skills, like the special issue of Cat Paw for the laser weapons. If it's done judiciously, I think it would complement and enrich the game. Maybe 120 may be too high of a...

Not really. It is almost impossible to get to SF at the beginning of the game; as the wastes would easily claim you. Even after getting your first pistol and a few bullets, it would still be nearly impossible to get there. And once there, you really won't have enough money to buy anything...

Don't think you can learn fighting skills from reading? LOL, I guess you've never seen Kung Fu magazine

Ah, thanks for the Chemistry clarification. As for the reading gained skills, all I'm saying is that there can be much more done, even if the max scores were kept at 90's. However, I'm of the opinion that reading more books should give more points in a distribution pattern like the skill...

One of the things that I've found puzzling over the course of the game was the "CHEMISTRY" journals (they look rather like the SCIENCE texts) that one finds in SF. I'm not sure, but I think they were supposed to have been for some sort of quest (the hub scientist maybe?) but don't remember for...

So... does the thread explode, or what? :shock:

I agree with your assessment, that the economics in all probability, wasn't the top of the agenda with the original plans for the game. However, to just have one entire tier of game economics all of a sudden stop functioning seems more of a bug than developer planned obsolescence. It smells more...

I for one would be happy if some one could just fix the death of the merchants' barter mechanics. Once the game progresses to a certain point, all the merchants become useless. They no longer have any new inventory, and only display what you had given them from your last previous trade. I'm...

You're right in that it would be an exciting addition. However, then it wouldn't be fallout2 according to the developers intent. Granted, this "developer's intent" thing can be so much excess baggage, IMHO, but since the writer and coder for the RP (Killap) seems to be of a philosophy that we...

Well, you know, the end game of eating is... So, will there be a lot more toilet facilities in the game world? What about merchants, will they start selling toilet tissue too, LOL... Will you take hits if you can't poop? What about explosive diarrhea? Where can we get an antidiarrheal?

The merchants is the Achilles Heel to the whole food chain idea. Eventually, the world will run out of food and everyone will starve, as the merchants reach a stage where they stop being functional as a point of commerce and become a point of storage instead. While ammunition can still be gotten...

I'm sure that if "the developers" wanted a fuel replenishment system for the player, they would have put one in. They probably didn't for good reason. It's already bad enough carrying ammo.

One of the things that I've noticed in FO2 in general is that the random encounters tend to become rather predictable over time. That is, you can expect five or six or some creature, or two sets of some creatures that are fighting each other, then you. The random cave creatures always seem to be...

Totally tangential question about how some of the experience points for successful combat are rewarded; I noticed that on many occasions, the text will say something along the lines of "for defeating your enemies without taking a scratch you earn x number of XP..." (words to that effect). My...

What's really laughable is that, if one carefully looks at the graphics of those in game "nudie" posters, the reality of it is, that they're barely discernible and only suggestive. They rely primarily on our previous learned experience of what "nude" posters would look like and trigger an...

Selective attention; certain insignificant things may bother us while the glaring tend to be ignored, LOL... Yeah, I thing you're right about the book and FO Tactics thing; I used to play that heavily and must have confused one with the other. As for Miria, it's a shame. A useless joke can...

Is there a way to truly go over to the dark side, and work for the Enclave? That is, can a character ever contact the Enclave and work as a free agent in helping them subjugate town and town? Talk about Negative Karma, LOL...

Is there a listing somewhere of what the max HP's are, for all NPC's in the RP. That is, they seem to level up, but I can't seem to get a sense of by what degrees. Another thing, I seem to recall that in the original FO2, you could place the various education books and magazines into an...
