The military base was a huge pain in the ass for me on my first playthrough.I walk in there, thinking I'm a huge badass after just gotten my power armor, and then combat initiates:
BAM!, a super mutant with a rocket launcher scored a critical hit on me with Ian standing right next to me, and blew both of us right the fuck up.I walk in there again after having been more prepared, and after what seemed like an extremely harsh fight working my way through the first and second levels of the Military Base, I somehow got stuck because of those damned force fields.Ok third time, I decide to go to the BOS base to see if I can dig around for anything to help me in the military base. I find out that they can send BOS Paladins to help you at the Military Base. Great. So I head to the military base, the BOS pally's are there with me. Lets do this. I walk into the base, and... I'm the only one coming in. I leave and reenter several times, they still aren't coming in. I go outside to find them, and they are just running around like idiots, with floating texts like "Lets do this!" (or something like that) when I try to talk to them. I thought it was a bug (well the fact that they never left when we hit the door was, thus I was confused because they never told me they were leaving, they just kept saying "Lets Do This" but wouldn't enter the goddamn base), but it turns out the assholes just kill the mutants outside the base, and then realizing there will be a ton more the pat you on the back and say "well, we got a uh... secret mission. So we gotta get back to the base, bye! Kick some ass for me!". Finally I found out you could use the radios to open the gates, but there have to be certain circumstances.Anyways that whole place was a huge bitch on my first playthrough. Master was EZ. I just walked in there with robes, convinced him to kill himself, and the Unity acolytes were even kind enough to escort me back outside after the master set the bomb to go off!
But Lou pissed me off. I would fire rocket after rocket at that bastard, 30 dmg, 25 dmg, 40 dmg. With a Big Guns skill of 110 too no less. When I actually did score a hit of 50 or more or a critical, a little smile would come to my face. So I would get him down to like 40 hp. Alright, this next shot is going to kill this bastard, then I can focus on his damn guards.
Then I see this:
Code:
• Lieutenant Uses Stimpak
• Lieutenant Uses Stimpak
• Lieutenant Uses Stimpak
• Mutant Guard Scores Critical Hit of 140 Damage, Killing Damen
FUCK!!!
