Frank Horrigan Conversation... (spoilers?)

K.C. Cool

It Wandered In From the Wastes
I've been reading the boards for a few years now, but one thing always bothered me...

At the end of Fallout 2, I was worried about being instantly attacked by Frank and the others and not being able to complete the game. I was a high Charismatic player so I threw all my stats into talking my way out of things. Well, I feared that FO2 didn’t have a 'talk your way out of it' ending.

(Mind you I haven’t played FO2 in years)

So to aid me, before I set the bomb I ran through all the mess to get back to the entrance to reactivate the turrets so right when I walk in they'll kick in and help me. Then I went through all that mess again to reactivate the bomb and head on out. When I got to the main entrance the turrets kicked in and started attacking, immediately starting battle. To my surprise I had no idea who those guys were at the entrance that were with Frank. So after I killed them, frank said somthing to me that didn’t make sense to me, and I moved on to the end of the game.

So my question is, who were those guys? What happens when you first walk into the room? What kind of conversations could you have with him? Can you talk your way to a non fighting ending?

Better yet, I should be asking if there are conversation logs of every possible conversation path of each of the characters at the end. Or if I can get a save game file, apply a trainer to help bring my charisma back, and try it out on my own.

Thanks guys, lemme know.
 
Moved to gameplay.

You can talk "those guys" into joining you, but only if you didn't activate the turrets already. You can then tiptoe over and get the turrets on your side as well. You can't get anywhere with Horrigan.

To get the conversations, you can download a DAT unpacker to get at the message files (these are in qcfrank and qcgranite, I think). Combined with the scripts (from the official mapper) you can work out how the dialogues flow.
 
Did anyone else find the fact that you MUST fight (you don't necessarily have to lift a finger, but still) to win this game a cop-out? Seriously. LAME.

Can't you just run like hell?

Only in the French version... :twisted:

Dude, even if that version allows me to have a foursome with Tandi and the Bishop girls, I wouldn't buy it... no offense to any french persons here though...
 
It's funny, I woke up this morning thinking, "If anyone's going to spam up the G/T forum today, it'll probably be DirtyDreamDesigner, Morpoggel, Lazarus Plus and Xavierblazer. Those dirty rascals." So, where's Xavierblazer?
 
The worst part in that story is the "I woke up thinking..." part.

You find yourself roused each morn to the thought of who spams what in teh interwebnet?

The worst part is that when he wakes up aroused, he's thinking of us ;)
