No effect. (Expect for maybe I have seen when I have 100 in energy weapons my shot can sometimes curve and hit enemies.)ThaBenMan said:
I'm playing my second character in this game (First one i got to Rivet City then stopped). Decided to be bad, and wow! I'm rolling in caps and chose some better perks and skill point distribution (Sml guns, repair, speech).
I wonder why i even chose to be a good guy the first time around. I had next to no caps, i couldn't repair for the life of me and i went melee weapons/sneak/lockpick. What a mistake that was. Melee weapons were pretty much useless because there's next to none of them and any beat up old gun is better than a melee weapon. Sneaking was a mistake because it just let's me get to my destination slower while gaining less xp, i guess i should've pickpocketed more.
Anyone else find this? Melee weapons sucking balls? No caps if you're good?

I was still rolling in caps when good. I had so many I practically didn't have to sell my gear so I had upwards of 500 for any bullet practically and 15 or so for any explosive. And 2-3 for each weapon and such.RhinoTuna said:
Same. All of my characters didn't have any money problems. Sneak+melee weapons is pretty good. I didn't even put a lot of points in it and I knew already that the two were great together.Bulletinmybrain said:
Also, I'm thinkin about making a big guns ghoul bigamist. Purify the ghouls in holy fire and bathe their human sympathizers in lead from my minigun.
I have another question for you guys: I have 35/50 achievements unlocked, and I can get 40/50 achievements with some effort, which is what I wanted from the beginning. However, this will take some time and may require me to complete that damned Nuka-Cola quest. My question is, is it worth it? I have to return the game in 5 days and I just want to know whether going the extra mile in this case is worth it.
I'm so sorry for not possessing the superhuman intellect necessary to comprehend the fact that she would just vanish into thin air as opposed to going back to Paradise Falls where I could talk to her and finish the quest. You think I wanted this to happen?DirkGently said:
Nevertheless, I went back to an old save (thankfully I make new saves like it's going out of style) where I just unlocked Red's cage, led her back to Big Town, and got the achievement.
.
It doesn't take massive prescience to understand the fact that if you are tasked to retrieve someone and escort them back to Big Town, then sending them to somewhere that is not Big Town will not count as success.The_Oracle said:
Ghoul bigamist? I mean I don't find them attractive enough to want one, let alone two...waffletaco said:
And oh, I forgot: when I first got to Megaton I went to the water treatment facility and spoke to Walter, he asked me to fix the pipes but my repair skills where too low at the moment. Later in the game (a good 4 hrs. of gameplay later) I got the necesary repair skills to fix up the pipes but the thing is: Where the hell is Walter now?; I can't find him anywhere in Megaton. Do you guys know anything about this? Where the HELL is Walter? Sometimes when I go into the water treatment facility at night I bump in to that dude from the eatery but he doesn't say anything about Walter.
Sometimes Walter gets very depressed and jumps off a bridge and dies. Other residents of Megaton may do the same.laikenf said:
Nuking them is the best way to prevent this.
Really? I would have thought that was easy enough series of events; save person, then enslave them, as she has to be in Big Town in order for the quest to be completed.The_Oracle said:
I was under the impression that I could find her there, talk to her, get a stern lecture, and then see the quest completed. But, like I said, I reloaded to a save where I just got Red out of town, led the meatshield to Big Town, and got the achievement.GloatingSwine said:
Here's a tip: Don't worry too much about taking it the first time and getting results you don't like- you can have the teacher-person modify your test results so you get the results you like.Limos said:
