Trivia contest

[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Feb-03-02 AT 04:34PM (GMT)[p]In anticipation of my walkthrough, here's a collection of trivia questions that I dare say are a little trickier than usual. Anyone who can answer all of them correctly is indeed a Fallout 2 savant!

If you want to keep from spoiling the challenge for everyone else you can mail me your answers (pel@zeta.telenordia.se). If you do, I'll post your names later when I give the correct answers. I suppose no one can be stopped from posting their answers openly, but as I said it might spoil the fun. Do what thou wilt, an ye harm none.

1. Name four people in the game who carry Pocket Lint.

2. Name three ways to get a Cookie. (Note: shooting a blind chef does not count as "getting Cookie".)

3. Which computer will give you Stimpaks under the right conditions?

4. Who wrote the Word List?

5. Where in the game does the Shaft dialogue ("I can dig it") take place?

6. To whom is the line "I'll get you during my next save game" spoken?

7. Who will reward you with significantly less cash if you ask them for payment when you accept their quest? (Note: I don't mean people like Marcus or Zaius who give you valuable items instead of cash. And I don't mean Thomas Moore either - it is someone that will give you money whether you ask for it or not.)

8. Who will say that the Brain Bot has been in your party even if you've never even been to the Sierra Army Depot?

9. Who goes shopping for candy, and what do you have to do in order to make this happen?

10. Which two items in Arroyo and the Temple of Trials can be found nowhere else in the game?

11. What is required before Myron can start making Super Stimpaks? (Note: I don't mean the actual ingredients.)

12. What do you need to open the raiders' safe without using the code on the Dog Tags?

13. Name three ways to install the Hy-Mag in Gecko, and arrange them in order of xp yield from least to most.

14. Who can give you a Cat's Paw Magazine in dialogue? (Note: I don't mean Miss Kitty and the special issue.)

15. What does Power Armor protect you against that Hardened Power Armor and Advanced Power Armor do not?

16. Where in the game can you find a Cola Fridge?

17. Who will give you a weapon if you kill their ex-spouse, and which weapon is it?

18. How do you get the Claws, and how many kinds can you get?

19. What is the maximum amout of quest xp you can get from Xarn the deathclaw?

20. What is "Ripper!" and where do you first come across it? (Note: I don't mean the vibroblade weapon.)

21. In which underground area can you find a single Xander Root on the floor?

Good luck!

(Edit: added a 21th question that had got lost somehow, and a note that "Ripper!" is not the Ripper melee weapon. Now get to it. :))

[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Feb-03-02 AT 07:12PM (GMT)[p]Errrrrrrrrrrrr

1 - There one cookie at the army base near New Reno

2 - The guy at the Salvatore bar who won't talk to you and you can ask him if he ever killed anyone.

4 - The vice presedent at the Enclave.

10 - The flint and.... no idea(sharpend pole, maybe?)

19 - You can kill the doctor(does that count?) for 1000XP, take the key card out of his desk, free Xarn for 2000XP(not sure about that), then kill him for 500XP(for killing him)+2100(not sure, for killing an adult deathclaw). Add it up yourself.

No idea about anything else.

I can barely name one, i DID find some though on someone and bartered it off them. Wasn't a vendor though. I THINK it was the guy in Broken Hills who was in charge of Brahmin drives (caravans) and getting the Expert Excrement Excavator Trait.

Take your pick: Flint, Vault Suit, Sharpened Pole.

If I can remember right 80% science. Or maybe that was for the Jet antidote.

90% lockpicking? or at least Extended lockpicks, possibly trap disarming too (50%?).

Here goes: Convince Festus to do it, Get the Robot to do it, Do it yourself (radx). Wait, reverse that for least to most, yourself, robot, festus.

Hmm...Fire? Actually its probably laser, I donno.

Cola Fridge? not sure what you mean but there is a few in a fridge in the car part of Trappers town in Klamath, theres also some in the Den behind Metzger (IIRC).

>17. Who will give you a

I can only think of Jack and killing Miria his ex wife (NCR) though I don't think you can actually carry out this quest. I'm fairly sure there's no quest involving that but if somehow there is then he'd give u and assault rifle.

>18. How do you get the

You find them in Klamath in the Brahmin pasture on a shelf in a small shed. I found a set elsewhere but I can't remember where. There is only one kind.

Xarn? 2500 i think.

It's a poster, I think the first one you see is in Den, maybe Klamath but I dont' recall. Definately one in Reno, but again its all up to how you go thru the game.
>21. In which underground area can

Hmm....time for a wild guess: Raiders or Caves beneath Broken Hills residential area.

[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Feb-04-02 AT 12:24PM (GMT)[p]1. all I know is the guy in the V13 (lowest lev. with the computer) who is kinda crazy...

8. mr Bishop (?) when he points out that you killed all his riders

9.Badger (?) - after hacking into Shi computer

10. a). - a flint, b). - V.suit&pip, but these are not inventory items ...you CAN find sharpened poles in other places

11. maybe it's asking him to make a normal stim before

18. do you mean the pink squares that sometimes appear after killing a deathclaw ? - I guess there are three of them

20. wasn't that a movie (even from F1 I think)

"You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone." - Al Capone (1899-1947)
 
RE: Trivia contest

whooa ... I like these questions ...

kinda tough ... just like we want'em ;)

What about the temple door key? You can pickpocket it off Cameron (the tribesman you fight as your final test.
 
RE: Trivia contest

>18. do you mean the pink
>squares that sometimes appear after

Yep, I mean those - they're called only "Claw".

You've all managed to scrape together a few correct answers, as well as a few that might earn you half a point. I had a feeling the Word List question was too easy. ;)

Trivia contest, da answers

Since my guide is due Any Day Now (TM) I might as well reveal the mind-blowing secrets of the trivia contest.

>1. Name four people in the
>game who carry Pocket Lint.
>

Martin in the VC vault, Josh who runs the bar-cum-mortuary in Redding, Bill in New Reno and two nameless people on the Presidential level of the Enclave. Ergil and Doc knew one each so together you earn a half a point for the team.

>
>2. Name three ways to get

>blind chef does not count
>as "getting Cookie".)
>

Buying a glass of water in Modoc, doing Farrel's rodent quest with a stupid character, and finding the one in the SAD. Cheebo gets 0.5 points for knowing two.

>3. Which computer will give you
>Stimpaks under the right conditions?
>

The computer in the hallway on level 1 of Vault 8, if you read a special hint from the Magic 8-Ball.

>
>4. Who wrote the Word List?
>

The veep, of course. Ergil and Cheebo gain a point each.

>
>5. Where in the game does
>the Shaft dialogue ("I can
>dig it") take place?
>

The Golden Globes in New Reno if you have a stupid character.

>6. To whom is the line
>"I'll get you during my
>next save game" spoken?
>

Dr Troy in VC, if you first blackmail him then let him treat you and "accidentally" inject you with something lethal.

>7. Who will reward you with

>

Tandi and Gunther in NCR. Cheebo gets a point here.

>8. Who will say that the
>Brain Bot has been in

>never even been to the
>Sierra Army Depot?
>

Mr Bishop. Doc Noth knew this.

>9. Who goes shopping for candy,
>and what do you have
>to do in order to

>

Badger if you have him hack the Shi computer, as Doc said.

>10. Which two items in Arroyo
>and the Temple of Trials
>can be found nowhere else
>in the game?
>

The Flint and the Temple Key. Ergil, Cheebo and Doc gets half a point for the Flint, and Xellos the other half for the key.

>11. What is required before Myron
>can start making Super Stimpaks?
>(Note: I don't mean the

>

He has to level up twice.

>12. What do you need to
>open the raiders' safe without

>

A high Luck score (8-9 or something).

>13. Name three ways to install
>the Hy-Mag in Gecko, and

>

Using the robot (most), letting Festus do it, doing it manually (least). Cheebo gets 0.5 points for naming the three ways.

>14. Who can give you a
>Cat's Paw Magazine in dialogue?
>(Note: I don't mean Miss
>Kitty and the special issue.)
>

Nurse Phyllis in VC if you donate and ask for a magazine.

>
>15. What does Power Armor protect
>you against that Hardened Power
>Armor and Advanced Power Armor
>do not?
>

Getting your feet mutated in the Toxic Caves.

>16. Where in the game can
>you find a Cola Fridge?
>

As far as I know the cola fridge can only be found in the cabin in the Tin woodsman encounter.

>
>17. Who will give you a
>weapon if you kill their
>ex-spouse, and which weapon is
>it?
>

Mira will give you a HK P90c if you kill Jack in NCR. Cheebo was close, but no exploding cigar.

>18. How do you get the
>Claws, and how many kinds
>can you get?
>

You need to a) use a pulse weapon or the Alien Blaster, b) have the violence level on maximum and c) kill one of five specific deathclaws d) while they are not lying down. There are two kinds. I'll generously allot Doc Noth half a point here although he wasn't too specific.

>19. What is the maximum amout
>of quest xp you can
>get from Xarn the deathclaw?
>

3500. First put the base on alert, then team up with Xarn (1500 xp), open the locked door to free him (1500 xp) and finally kill him (500 xp).

>
>20. What is "Ripper!" and where
>do you first come across
>it? (Note: I don't mean
>the vibroblade weapon.)
>

As Cheebo and Doc knew it's a movie poster. Assuming that we're talking about Fallout 2 the first place you encounter it is in the bathhouse in Klamath, the only location which will always be on your world map at the start of the game except for Arroyo, so you get no score for location.

>21. In which underground area can
>you find a single Xander
>Root on the floor?
>

Keeng Ra'at's lair in Klamath.

That adds up to, if I'm not mistaken:

Ergil 1.5 p
Cheebo 4 p
Doc Noth 3.5 p
Xellos 0.5 p
All Together Now: 7.5 p out of 21.

I'll leave the qualitative evaluation to you. .)
