Playing for the first time but need help!!

First time out of the vault
playing Fallout 1 for the first time and its great n all but I gave my .223 pistol to Ian and the little shit wont give me it back! I specialise in small guns but only had 4 strength so gave it to him until I got 5. I have just got the power armor so can obviously use it properly now. But how do I get it back? its not in his inventory (cos hes using it i guess) so what do I do? I could waste him but he is kinda useful. Although saying that the game doesnt seem that difficult so I will if I have to!! What weapons are considered "better"? I know u can tell him to draw his best weapon in combat so im wondering what will work. The sniper rifle?

Is the .223 the best gun in the game for small guns? It rocks! I think the combat shotgun is awesome as well, thats my backup. one other thing, my speech is 135..do I need more points in that or is that enough to get all dialogue options?

p.s. that ending scene where u become a mutant was f*cking awesome! one thing that pissed me was the brotherhood leader...I offered to scout up north for 1000 bucks and they threw me out!!! hadnt saved for ages either. was this close to wiping em all out to teach em a lesson! might have been difficult tho...

IIRC,Ian should have an option to holster the weapon when you enter dialogue.

Also, you could equip him with a weapon that takes low APs to use (such as a knife or brass knuckles) and hope that he switches to that weapon in a combat turn, if he doesn't have enough to shoot the enemy after the move.

there is no option to holster the weapon. I hadnt thought of taking away the ammo, I will do and add another gun. hopefully that will make him use that instead.
 
The .223 is probably the best gun Ian can use anyway as long as you're keeping him. You can always use a Sniper Rifle or something.
 
well Ian is dead now anyway. I saved my game right after the brotherhood leader on 4th floor gave me a new weapon. But now im an enemy to them because I equipped the power fist and saved... :?

Both my buddies got slaughtered instantly and I cleared the floor but geez its hard to escape first floor. I dont think its gonna be possible. there are too many of em shooting me with miniguns and the odd one always kills me instantly (the majority dont do much damage). think im screwed though. I tried the stealth invisibilty thing but it turned off as soon as i exited the lift..
 
nevermind did it in the end...hope there werent gonna be any more brotherhood quests... :mrgreen:
 
just completed it! had a problem with the end...no sound on the cutscenes, well some of them there was (seemed random) but turning off sound hardware excelleration fixed that. does fallout 2 have that problem with the end scenes? my character shot the overseer automatically, does anything happen if he doesnt?

Same problem, same solution.

Only that he walks over to the vault door and the game fades to the final movie and credits.
