Bloody mess trait

[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Jun-27-02 AT 12:55PM (GMT)[p]I was looking at a recent guide by Per in which it stated (Quote Unquote
Bloody Mess: Fun to begin with (for instance, start up a game and beat up Klint), but doesn't do anything in game terms, and gets tiresome. You'll see those animations anyway and it will feel more like a reward (!) without this trait.
I disagree entirely with this statement. I think that you get more of a glowing feeling inside as you see your opponent's chest torn out, exposing ribs, (regardless of what you hit them with and where, {there is also a head decapitation clip i think}) or when a mutants stomach bursts, leaving him to slowly sink into the ground. I also like to think that you are leaving him thoroughly, thoroughly dead.
I don't mean to offend Per, in fact I congratulate him for what I consider to be an excellent walkthrough, with far more info than any others I've read (and believe you me, I've read a hell of alot), it's just this point I differ with him on.
I would welcome anyone else's views on this...
 
RE: Bloody mess trait

It's totally useless, as well, it's a purely eastetic trait (well, apart from the ending in FO1).

And I agree with his comment. I enjoy the blowing-to-chunks action much more when I only see it once in a while then all the time...

Shot a normal shot BOOM head blows up (or whatever), I get this nice feeling "whoah I iced him good", where if it hapenned all the time, the feeling would be less fullfilling...
 
RE: Bloody mess trait

It is a good trait for one reason, it does not adversely effect you. However it does not benifit you either, but it is a "safe" trait.
 
RE: Bloody mess trait

In the late game you seem to have "bloody mess" anyway. Walk around with better criticals and sniper/slayer. My critical rate is 25% without sniper yet, so i see it alot anyway :)
 
RE: Bloody mess trait

Bloody Mess is helpful for Melee characters in which when you kill the guy he doesnt go flying off the screen, you just blow a hole in his side and he falls to the ground.

i usually always get bloody mess, just because i have no other perk to choose besides gifted.
 
RE: Bloody mess trait

What about Finesse? That trait is tied for the best IMO. Well maybe not for melee cause of slayer, but still.
 
RE: Bloody mess trait

Actually I think the small frame trait is quite good. You lose a bit of carrying capacity, but then you have big NPCs that do most of your carrying for you. YOu gain agility. I think this is a decent trade off.
