Combat and Weaponry (was:Unarmed in F3)

I

I eat Burst for breakfast

First time out of the vault
I loved fighting unarmed in F1 and F2, but it was kinda sad that all the punches and kicks had one animation...

I'm looking forward to zooming and aactually see when my character uses a Piercing Strike into the eyes of his enemies for 40-something damage. Also, being able to see the crippled limbs of your opponents is going to be nice. Having the Slayer perk is going to awaken the sadist within us all *evil grin*, or is it just me? :o
 
Ditto. Fallout 2 was a bit off with all the Kung Fu(*) in it.
Unarmed combat should be more like random Western brawling, not East-Asian combat sports.

If you want Kung Fu(*), go watch Karate Kid or something.


(*) here used as synonym for East-Asian combat sports in general, not neccessarily Kung-Fu in particular
 
Ah okay fair enough... I didn't mean kung fu, I just mean more varied attack animations. Heavens forbid if they put in wire fu bullet time martial arts... But I would like to see some jabs and uppercuts, brawling, but more varied than one punch and one kick...

That seems reasonable then.
 
more types of fighting style would be cool , and new melee weapons and such , few old goodi swords and that loot , so not every melee encounter has a Sledgehammer and bat`s +poles+++ if you get the idea , some new animations to fighting would be great tho, and harder ways to learn that stuff :P
 
Praise the Lead Pipe!

But I think *swords* would be overdiong it a little bit. Makeshift clubs, yes, but swords?
 
I would say swords would be ok, but it would be made of say, scrap metal and such. Jagged along the edge for that nice sharp bite. I dont expect many katanas to have survived the Fall.
 
yea , that sounds more correct. or maybe some of the Shi dudes down in SanFransico has a Katana :P but i would`t expect to see any. More or less i would love to have more Melee weapons or other throwing items
 
Careful with the Katana issue. It's quite unpopular in some circles (Although I wouldn't be surprised to see a single Katana that could be a keepsake brought home from the Second World War by some American marine only to be found in the Wasteland ;) )
 
okey heh, alright that i will (never mentioned Katana Ever :roll: :P) but why is it so unpouplar? one singel katana would`t change the world but if you got 200 of them it would`t be so fun at all.
 
I'd more like to see an overwelming amount of enemies with good guns, and that ammo is scarse in the wasteland. Which would make for more sneak around "missions" then the usual bang-bang shoot'em all missions.

I also did like JES idea about HTH combat combinations, having to hit one and one punch can get dull.

More non leathal weapons would be nice to, the cattleprod should stun the enemy for a little time or some other gun. etc...
 
Stomping on enemies that lie down, and different animations for attacking someone in the back would also be nice... I'd like to see maybe one blade in F3, but other than that GO SLEDGEHAMMERS AND PIPES! :o

Agreed, I'd also like to see weapons jam more often, I only got jammed weapons when having the "jinxed" -trait.. I know it's extremely annoying to have your weapon jam *just* when you need it :twisted: but wouldn't it be just logical after a global nuclear war?
 
haha , the weapon jam thing sound awesome, it would add a great deal of difficulty.
but hey , guys .. wouldn`t it be more fun if you had less ammo , enemys had less ammo ? it would have changed many types of tactics other than just pick em down one by one . this is what i do in my fallout campagin i hosting for few friends of mine i give then less ammo so they go all like clastruphopic(dont know if i spelled it correctly:P) and they think of all other things when they encounter a enemy.
 
It probably wouldnt work besides it doesant fit the story structure too well because your near enough to old towns/cities/army bases
which would have pikein loads of ammo. 1 gun every 10 people in america right. Also its unlightly that any of the bullets would have
decayed up to 200 years as all they are are really are chemicals encased in a thick protective metal layer. Only plastic cartridged buckshot hn needler would really decay. Never forget that the gun was one of the first and and simplest of the industrial revolution inventions, a non fancy pistol could survive years. Also to add an extra comment yes it would be good to jam more often it would open up a whole new structure so a sniper/medic would be good at both but not super powerful. Also only a good idea to limit some ammo types.
 
Speak English to me Orthrand, I thought the country spawned the fucking language, and so far no one seems to be using it.

Argh! Punctuation!

And there's a spell checker, for Jesus' sake!
