Out of curiosity I used the editor to tag Science & qualify for the conversation with Dr. Henry in NCR that would lead to acquiring Cyberdog. My observation of him leads me to the conclusion that his performance is below that of either Dogmeat or K-9. In fact, though I have seen Dogmeat & K-9...

I almost never have the required 80% in Science to qualify for the opportunity to get Cyberdog, who appears to me to be more machine than dog. Is he worth it compared to Dogmeat & K-9? Is there someone here who has had him & can make an unbiased comment concerning him? Someone who likes dogs &...

Yes it is nonsense, & so is your statement (1) I've shown through my own observation that Dogmeat is NOT "useless." He is capable os making kills. (2) If, on the other hand, K-9 is indeed "useless" (Per did not prove this, but he is welcome to have his opinion as is everyone else) then at what...

Just wondering - one thing that PO'd me was that though I could target a shot at a deathclaw's left paw & it would be declared "crippled" it never was & the deathclaw could go ahead & kill me with that "crippled" left paw. (unlike in FO2). Has anyone "fixed" that?

Obviously not. The question is not even worth asking. But if you have an open slot in your party's membership & you're in Navarro you have the option of taking along K-9. The odds of his surviving the surrounding area full of Navarro patrols is of course very low. I happen to enjoy the...

Mynoc's the last person you encounter in Arroyo before leaving by the bridge. My assessment of Kaga is that he's a lot of talk. He has a lot hit points but he just stands there in encounters. His companions do the fighting. When you shoot at him he doesn't respond much, seems to me.

Nothing, really. I'm just more interested in getting involved in at least some of what's in the script along the way if I choose to go to SF first. It appears to me that the RP world is somewhat tougher than the one in the original.

I have greatly enjoyed having Dogmeat as a member of my party. Watching him get at enemy critters can bring an aspect of enjoyment to the game that dog-lovers can appreciate. Those times he makes big hits, scoring 30+, 40+ or even 50+ points of damage can be as large as thrill as can be found in...

Sorry I didn't intend any snide remark - You are assuming wrong - I did not explain - during the regular play of game I thought of using that method off embarking as an alternative - why should I have to follow a "script" - perhaps I want to embark earlier & finish gameplay after returning. I...

Changes From FO 2 Per's "How to finish the game in half an hour (if you hurry up)" is not possible in the RP. That was an unpleasant surprise. There seem to be quite a few such unpleasant surprises in RP. But then again I suppose it's a matter of opinion. The RP developers not only added...

Outside of giving ourself 99 AP with an editor to get out of the V13 cave at the end in FO1 is there another forced end to the game?

Thank you Per, I do now remember years ago reading about that so I had forgotten. Thank you for the very excellent material you have written BTW.

I've been playing the FO series for years & have never been aware there was any time limit in playing FO 2 to get to the Enclave. Well of course it would be reasonable that there is. I was taking my time in my most recent replay of FO 2 & trying to get all the "encounters" (specifically I was...

Why? 1) In NCR I was wearing the power armor I obtained from Navarro when unexpectedly the NCR police began shooting at me, claiming that I was carrying a weapon when I was not & neither were any of my gang. There was no way I could avoid the encounter, & the final result was the police were...

Yes I found a gas mask in that locker so there s/b one there. Aw shucks, wish I knew how to show an image here so I could show the gas mask. I haven't got an answer yet to why I was unable to obtain the NPC Cat on the Blue Level. The only level I didn't visit was the Green Level which I...
