Jinxed trait bug in fallout 2?

[Celicni]

I've read somewhere that the jinxed trait is kind of bugged in fallout 2. Ie you constantly miss with it. Does anybody know this to be true? It may have something to do with the unofficial patch but I'm not sure.

I thought that was the point of it.
(Critical failures; to miss in the worst possible way.)

I'm talking about literally missing 4/5 attacks with 95% hit chance. With 10 luck. That shouldn't happen.

That said, I don't know if it is true what I read, which is why I'm asking.

Found the http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/63576-fallout-2/55077607 link actually. Apparently it's an issue with the unofficial patch/restoration project. Does anybody know if it was fixed?

Going off hearsay from 5 years ago, from Gamefaqs?

Doesn't hurt to be careful does it?

And that's why I came here since this is supposed to be a "reliable" site for fallout information.

I'm playing a Jinxed character with luck 2 right now, and 95% chance to hit is still 95% chance to hit. But when you miss, the chance to miss critically is pretty high, I've had some silly fights so far especially early game when skills were low or whenever I decide to punch someone with ~70% chance to hit. Playing without the RP, though.

Watch me cripple limbs trying to punch a golden gecko, among other things.

It's fun when you've played the game 8 times already.
