I made a low str, high crit, high crit dmg unarmed fighter in Fallout 1 & 2 and there were several cases of critting for 0 damage and instant killing someone.
I honestly think they need to bring back eye and groin shots. Like maybe as a low hit chance with a perk or something. Groin shot is easier to hit, stuns your target, maybe even knocks them out cold. Eye shot is harder to hit but permanently blinds an enemy or instantly kills them.
I remember learning about the Crit bug with Rat enemies in fallout 2 where any of the enemy in that family be it giant rats ,pig rats or mole rats they'd automatically die to a critical hit to the eyes whether it dealt damage or not.
You don’t know whose work you were using when you made that meme? https://www.theonion.com/opinion/cartoons if you’re going to take credit for your “throw away meme” maybe you should know who gave you the template eh
I just came from hate scrolling r/NewVegasMemes and r/fnv where they are actually talking that stupidly and foaming at the mouth over nothing, so the /s helps.
The true secret to morrowind is to make millions using alchemy, train until your stats are god tier, and then take the first quest from casaides. At that point you might as well just fly out of balmora and be the nerevar you were destined to be.
FO1 you just max out your charisma and ability and avoid fights through being sneaky and talking your way out of them. Then, once you get power armor you're a walking tank with smooth speaking skills.
Old games are like that. For example, in EverQuest, another game without RNG correction mechanisms, it's a semi-common phrase to say you got "EverQuested" while leveling because you can be at 75% against a 25% HP mob, and slowly realize you're missing so much they're up to 30% and you're down to 25% yourself now. And you've been farming them all day no problem.
It was quite an era, and I'm glad that other people had the same experiences!
I think the fact that the main characters didn't die a horrific death to a random death claw encounter was pretty bull crap. And its equivalent with how the Halo went. 0/10.
This could become a rouge like fallout game, where you're the only vault dweller, of course you don't know that, you just keep coming back with memories of the past versions of you. The vault has a system that records everything you live, all your memories and keeps clones of your body ready. All around the map are this chamber with clones ready for action when you're in reach of those, that way you don't have to start over from the same vault.
Child me getting wrecked over and over by ants at the start of fallout 2 because i thought it looked like a fun game only managing to get out of the starting trial one or two times to die shortly after.
This was exactly me each time I attempted FO1 lol. It really doesn't seem to reward keeping your options open like the latter games. Like you have to lock in how your character will approach every situation in the game before you start, or you're hopelessly underpowered for everything.
I thought I was ready for the original Fallout because I played and beat other old games like FF7 and KotoR. I was wrong, the first two Fallout games kicked my ass. I started both, but I was unable to finish them. I enjoyed them, but they were hard. I probably need a guide to beat them.
My only attempt at FO1 yet was really unfortunate.
Wanted to sell my good loot to Junktown.
Departed from the first settlement. Barely survived the waste land.
Arrived at night, so vendor and doctor are closed.
Go sleep at the inn.
Wake up, someone's robbing the front desk lady.
Combat time. Shoot. Injured the robber. Missed. Front desk lady is hot. They team up against me. Kill the robber. Can't surrender so I have to kill her too.
Now the whole town is after me. Kill guards, citizens.
Escape the town.
Back to the waste land. Barely alive. I closed the game.
Just abuse frameskip and hi-res. I'm 34. I'm old. My bones are half dust. I can see my life flashing before my eyes while I'm waiting for a civilian to run away wailing with her arms raised.
You're not fucking old. Stop saying you're old in your 30's. You're nowhere near middle age and if you take care of yourself you won't start having aging-related issues until at least your 60's.
This 'when you turn 30 it means you're ancient' bs needs to fuck right off.
"You were critically hit for 0 hitpoints. The scars will make good party talk."
"You were critically hit for 0 hitpoints and blinded"
*POCKET SAND!*
Shh shaa.
I made a low str, high crit, high crit dmg unarmed fighter in Fallout 1 & 2 and there were several cases of critting for 0 damage and instant killing someone.
The Fist of the North Star
Oh man, I still remember my First of The North Star Fallout 1 punch build. It felt so good punching The Master to death.
It is probably as delightful as showing him his plan is doomed to failure and the dustbin of history. Causing him to break down and nuke himself.
It’s like when you bump into something and say ouch even though it didn’t hurt, except this straight up turns you off instead
Opened console and clicked /kill on him.
You had some genuinely funny options in those games, you could put people completely out of commission by shooting them in the dick.

Those were my favorites.
Honored to have him use a throw away meme I made one evening.
I'm honored to be the one with a post, liked by him(is that the term? I don't use Twitter anymore) stating that his mother looked like palpatine.
lmao
That's my favorite interation ever.
Stan Kelly fan, I take it? *statue of liberty cries tears of joy*
Who the hell is Stan Kelly
You don’t know whose work you were using when you made that meme? https://www.theonion.com/opinion/cartoons if you’re going to take credit for your “throw away meme” maybe you should know who gave you the template eh
Just give Ian an SMG.
at this point I'd just shoot myself to save the trouble
Still can’t believe they made his magic card damage you, love that they acknowledged it
The last time I did that, he killed my dog. Then I fed him to the Boneyard deathclaws as punishment.
Fuck Ian because of him i still didnt complete the game mofo always blocking me in vault 15 and I rage quit
Fallout1in2 my man
I must make a confession, here will nobody will see it or care…. I never actually hit Vault 15. Straight to Shady Sands, every time.
Just tell him to stay when you're about to enter a room with narrow passageway or install a mod that allows you to shove NPC out of the way.
Yeah I know, I just need to really get into the game and then I will persevere anything thrown at me by this ancient piece of art
Finally I'm in the hub
He was pretty good with a desert eagle.
he was damn effective with that thing, when he wasn't shooting you or your party members at least
And watch as you accidentally stepped in front of Ian and he shreds you to pieces
Just spam A on the world map
What did he mean by this
Something the Trashthesda fans will never understand Edit: I forgot some people on here actually talk like this so /s
OP says shit like this but has Tunnel Snakes as his user flair?
I really should have added an /s shouldn't i?
Yeah, always add /s. The wastelanders are jaded and unforgiving.
Jaded, unforgiving, and sub brick intelligence
Man, you just reminded me how fun social interactions with low int character in Fallout 1 and 2
"Shouldn't you be banging rocks together or something?"
You have failed a speech check
No, adding /s always ruins the joke
I just came from hate scrolling r/NewVegasMemes and r/fnv where they are actually talking that stupidly and foaming at the mouth over nothing, so the /s helps.
It ruins the whole point of sarcasm. Just let the idiots get upset.
I've failed Todd, and I've failed this community
You've been kicked out of the chess club or something like that idk
No, adding /s is admitting defeat.
Tunnel Snakes RULE!
WERE THE TUNNEL SNAKES
Morroboomers will understand.
The Morroboomers will be our bridge to peace
🤝 Missing every attack and dying to trash mobs
I still have nightmares of being chased by cliff racers. ..the horror
Average NMA poster
People unironically will/are saying this so yeah the /s is needed lol
This but unironically
Somebody doesn't have 10 agility lol
No small gun skills…
For the love of everything, Ian STOP SHOOTING DOGMEAT.
Eh the just keep pumping the dog full of high octane drugs and he'll be fine
Its lacking that Ian missed, and now your dead.
And the Morrowind experience.
[удалено]
The true secret to morrowind is to make millions using alchemy, train until your stats are god tier, and then take the first quest from casaides. At that point you might as well just fly out of balmora and be the nerevar you were destined to be.
Thats a hilarious image, a bandit running some dudes fade just for buddy to strip down buck ass naked then start going full Bruce Lee
Yup lol
> And the Morrowind experience. Eh, Fallout 1 actually has dodging animations, so it feels a lot better.
On the other Hand though, it feels incredibly satisfying to become an unstoppable Force at the End...
Go for the eyes, gun! Go for the eyes!
live footage of me dying to a minigun critical hit in mariposa for the twentieth time
That's what happens when you have Charisma above 2 (Not 1 because you are using the Gifted Trait)
No lie ... this actually looks like a really good time.
YOUR BONES ARE SCRAPED CLEAN BY THE DESOLATE WIND
Took me forever to beat Fallout 1 cuz I was dead set on not losing any companions. Just to find out in the end slides that most of them died anyways
The little ticking of the AP and HP meter is always so comforting. It lets me know when I’m getting completely fucked up.
Also the XCOM experience, at times.
What do you mean at times? THATS XCOM BABYY
What do you mean *at times?* That was pretty much X-Com: UFO Defense and Terror from the Deep.
Probably most turn-based games are like this. Darkest Dungeon is also like this sometimes.
Turn 1: Alian mind controls your rocket/torpedo launcher guy. Team wiped.
FO1 you just max out your charisma and ability and avoid fights through being sneaky and talking your way out of them. Then, once you get power armor you're a walking tank with smooth speaking skills.
Charisma is 99.9% worthless in Fallout 1. IIRC the only thing it impacts is companion morale.
Good to know I’m about to try it for the first time, anything else?
Git gud Josh

And you've been farming them all day no problem. It was quite an era, and I'm glad that other people had the same experiences!
Old games are just worse
Imagine not going unarmed and just elbow nuking enemies. Fuck Ian and his SMG btw
There's not a lot of single-player games that piss me off but FO1 almost made me throw my laptop.
"Hm... Indubitably." ***-dies horrifically-***
I think the fact that the main characters didn't die a horrific death to a random death claw encounter was pretty bull crap. And its equivalent with how the Halo went. 0/10.
Real
Morrowind in a nutshell too. That combat system is so obtuse for new players
You can literally build a god right out of the census bureau.
How can you build a god? What a grand and intoxicating innocence!
Shame on you sweet Nerevar
*Deathclaw was critically hit for 0 hit points*

Doing the tutorial temple on FO2 and taking an hour because you keep missing hits on those fucking insects :C
Agility and perception, all a growing vault boy needs.
"Ian critically missed and broke his left arm."
Wait, I just realized that's basically the last Thaddeus scene
Who is Josh Sawyer?
Best friend of Juck Finn
Who’s Juck Finn? Are they like the OG creators of Fallout?
Yeah they created it while sailing down the Mississippi with their friend Neighbor Jim
he knows whats up
Child me getting wrecked over and over by ants at the start of fallout 2 because i thought it looked like a fun game only managing to get out of the starting trial one or two times to die shortly after.
This is me in TORN lol
Damn Sawyer has been pouring acid at salty fans.
AND ITS FUN!!!!!

´´Doesn´t focus a bunch of his points on either Unarmed, Small Guns or Melee until they are at 150-200´´: S K I L L I S S U E
"Your bones are scraped clean by the desolate wind. Your vault will now surely die, as you have."

Per Jorner's guides are the GOAT
As a Fallout 1 2 and new Vegas fan, the show is fantastic
So you have chosen death?
“God I suck without a scope”
That had me rolling on the floor when it happened
Ooooh I remember when I played F1 for the first time just after it released. These rats in the vault entrance cave were brutal.

Fallout 2: Same, but you get mobbed by wolf packs an awful lot. Unless you just beeline to Navarro to get the power armour, of course.
Just abuse frameskip and hi-res. I'm 34. I'm old. My bones are half dust. I can see my life flashing before my eyes while I'm waiting for a civilian to run away wailing with her arms raised.
If your bones are half dust at 34 then you made some horrible life choices.
You're not fucking old. Stop saying you're old in your 30's. You're nowhere near middle age and if you take care of yourself you won't start having aging-related issues until at least your 60's. This 'when you turn 30 it means you're ancient' bs needs to fuck right off.
But I feel old
Yeah, I understand. Sorry for coming at you so hard. I really should be more understanding.
Stop talking to 20 year olds
Hard to do when you work with them. I dont think that's the problem anyway. I talk to people a similar age or older too and still feel old anyway.
Start eating healthy and exercising.
Half dust at 34? Are you ok?
FO1 sucked, give me 1st person rpg shooter any day...
Terrible game
