I guess you guys don't like much my mod...
Well, I tried to make a mod that would be exactly the same as Fallout 2, but i failed... guess we all make our personal in-print. If plasma doesn't hurt why do all folks melt down? are they allergic to it?
Let me try to explain the problem I think most people have with such things as a "plasma spear"
"Plasma" is the fourth form of matter. It is like the sun, the sun is plasma, as is lightning, fire, neon lighting, etc.. Ionized gas, 's what it is. Now you can imagine that to get past the first three states solid-liquid-gas and then go to plasma most things have to be pretty damn hot. Loads of things don't, obviously, or they're just pretty hot. Others reach a temperature of 10^8 K in the form of plasma
That's what Fallout has in the plasma gun. Somehow, nobody knows how, it shoots a "blob" of plasma, the temperature of which is so high that it melts the victim, hence the turn-into-a-puddle thing.
So what exactly did you think a "plasma spear" was? How could you possible integrate something that hurts people by being really hot, much like a flame-thrower (which is also a plasma weapon), into hand-to-hand combat? What does it do? Spit bits of plasma at people? Is the spear made out of plasma? That's impossible, because plasma is more vapourous than bloody gas.
I'm going to assume you just didn't know what plasma is. As you can see, "plasma spear" doesn't make any sense and I assumed you pasted the two words together because it's "cool", like a laser tommy gun or pulse sledge hammer.
Well please don't. It's stupid
