(FO2) Well, I Tried...

First time out of the vault
You know the kids in the Den that steal stuff from you? Well, I finally decided to "take care" of them by dropping my inventory (into the trunk) and carrying only LIT dynamite in the inventory and walk past all the kids. (You must also lock the 2 shops' doors so the kids can't give it to the shop.)

This was a suggestion made in this dude's walkthrough:

Anyway, I tried a bunch of different ways of doing it, but the kids never wanted to steal a bomb set to 10 seconds (shocking!). By locking the shop doors and setting the bombs to 1 minutes however, the kids did sometimes snatch it. Ready for the punchline?

The game just freezes :cry:

You hear the explosion, but no "kid exploding" animation.

Anyway, now you don't have to try it. :wink:

Awww disappointment. I was hoping you were gonna say there was child pick-pocket pieces all over the den! Something to the effect of blowing up the toilet in Modoc.

That's a known bug, that doesn't occur in all versions of the game.
 
Goddamn that was a cool idea. You sir are a genius. Wish it would have worked though, the Troika trio would have been proud and probably would have implemented it if you were a tester :)

Urgh. It has been implemented. It actually works. If it weren't for a known bug that occurs in some versions of the game (note some, not all) as I said before, in this very thread.
