Squad member deaths

[Guest]

I lost poor Stitch to a landmine in Rock Falls, and it was too much hassle to go back two combats to my last save, so i looted his dearly beloved corpse and moved on, replacing him with Stein when i got back to Bunker Alpha. Noone seems to have noticed, so is there no penalty for allowing my Brothers to get all exploded 'n shit? No Karma loss? Not even a slap on the wrist from Barnakey??

Well, they know that they are sending you into 'hostile' terratory so they expect loses. Remember bootcamp. 'I personally trained over 40 recruits and i'm happy to say that almost 14 of them are still alive' I might have the numbers wrong though.

Personally, I consider my squad an elite cadre of fighters and I load the game if any of my guys (or gals) dies. Then again, I also save religiously.

As do I. Well, most of them, anyway. I expect a couple of casualties, usually one early on and a couple when the going gets really tough. But there's three people who form the nucleus of my squad, Stampede Squad, and they don't get to die. My leader, Brian, and Mandy. Yes, I know Brian and Mandy aren't that great, but I've grown attached to the buggers.

LOL, i have that about Jo, god knows why, i just feel really protective of her, like when she got poisoned by a giant wasp on way to Macomb, and i didnt have any poison antidote, i dragged our collective ass back to the bunker to get some even tho it was only a 3 hp attack...im so sweet, i swear...

I guess Stitch just never impressed me enough to resurrect him. Damn, theyre all so ugly. Even me, and i picked the least obnoxious face! Even Harold was more sexually appealing, these guys look like they were photographed as they came offstage from a Jerry Springer taping...

Hey Lara-

YOu know, you're right, these characters are just so butt ugly.

I don't know where the game designers found these characters, maybe they shook the ugly tree and these guys fell, hitting every damn branch on the way down. God what is with the funky hair! It looks like the inspiration for these folks was "the Hills have Eyes." SOme of the guys look like cross breeds with Klingons. What is this, radiation damage? Maybe all the tribes figure on sending all their ugly people to the BOS (as kind of "well they probably will get killed anyways but at least we get to clean the gene pool."

In fallout 2 we started out as tribal forest dwellers with cool skimpy loin cloths for underwear/bathing wear/general evening wear. A lot of the characters we ran into where kind of hot. Ok, so maybe that's not Politically Correct but jeez, these folks make for an eye sore!

Personally I play the black character with the long hair and what looks like an albino eye. He just looks to me like a bad ass and would have the high agility and perception. (just wish he had a 'fro like undercover brother). I got him dressed all in black (just like shaft- hey its a political statement!)

But its a good thing these folks are in the wasteland and not in highschool, as they would probably get the shit kicked out them.
