Tandi questions...

Greetings all,

I got a couple of characters maybe a third of the way through FO2, when I decided, for several reasons, that I wanted to play through the original at least once before I finished off the sequel.

My FO character is currently clvl 8, and just finished all the quests in Hub.

My main question right now is, is it possible to get Tandi to change her weapon? I gave her a standard knife and a couple of pistols right after rescuing her, and she started using the knife, and won't give it up. I'd like her to at least switch to a combat knife, if I can't get her to pick up a pistol... :p

But since I can't talk to her, to tell her to use her 'best' weapon, and can't steal her old knife, since it doesn't show up in her inventory, I'm baffled how to get her to upgrade. If I'd known you couldn't get her to switch, I would have only given her a pistol at first (probably a 14 mm, which I had at the time - though little ammo for it, then).

Do most people try to keep Tandi with them for most of the game, or do they just take her back to Shady Sands? It seems that with only 35 HP, she's going to be real hard to keep alive in any serious battles, and in this case, if she's only using a standard knife, she's going to do hardly any damage before much longer. And, since I can't talk to her, I can't temporarily detach her for a particular battle, either.

I'm thinking maybe I should just let her go home before much longer. Do you get much XP or a reward when you return her to S.S.?

Comments?

RE: Tandi questions...

The only time when you can do something about her weapon is when a) you steal her knife the first time she joins you or b) you wait untill she puts it away and steal it then. Otherwise you can't change it.

I just drop her off at Shady. The exp. is just a minor factor. She sucks in combat and it's the appropriate thing to do. If you want the good ending for the town.

Hi, JR,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

"If you want the good ending for the town."

Ah, I didn't know about that. Makes sense, and even more reason to return her one of these days. I left some stuff cached at the Raider base (I killed them all, & there was more stuff than I & my NPCs could handle - or so I thought; I've found out the real NPC's can carry more than I realized), so maybe when I go back to retrieve that stuff, I'll drop her off at Shady Sands.

Thanks again.
