I think that's covered by the spear/crowbar/rock weapons you get. Also a pipe-rifle, which is about as low-tech as you can get. You do get a watashi blade, which is sort of a sword =) I think a wasteland would have a lot more of those crude weapons than suits of PA.

Well, I like quests. As long as they're relevant and not 1-dimensional

Yeah, exactly. Nothing pisses me off than a shop that sells me a item for x and when I turn around and try to resell it they offer 1/10 of x. The problem is precisely because NPCs obviously drop whatever it is that they're carrying. One solution might be make a lot of powerful NPCs but...

I admit it's annoying to cycle through speech trees to get them to tell you what your character needs to hear, but I don't think that's a fault of the dialog metaphor. Unless your suggesting a parser where you type in the blank, it's not that hard to add in a "Tell me about" node from the...

Those are really good by the way. Do you have any art packs out?

Yes I GMed for many years. 1st, 2nd-2.6 and d20/3rd. I recall the section on "monty hall" campaigns. As far as "how games should work," I merely wanted a money sink. Pretty much my only gameplay issue with F2 was that it got too easy too quick. After New Reno, I pretty much stop picking up...

Thanks! I really appreciate it. Now I just won't ask what mood that was ;-)

Thanks dude! XP is very annoying in that it won't let me search through SSLs. =) Question: do you know of any bugs in either the Fallout 2 Mapper or the scripting engine (as it deals with event timers)? I ask because I just got done with a very complicated script. It works in the...

Okay, it was in the pro. It was just very very annoying to edit.

Well the setting for my mod is really low-tech type farms. It's pretty much the opposite of F2, where you're the "tribal." In my mod, you're the city slicker and the NPCs are a bunch of stupid yahoos / random guys living out in the wasteland. I just thought it would be funny to have a farmer...

Explain to me how Tell me mores are less prone to spoonfeeding than typical dalog trees. With Tell me mores you can pretty much walk up to any NPC and say "Tell me about X" which basically means the player can't figure out the clues and is basically just fishing for a solution. How is that...

basically I want to enable the player to use science on a given critter. Now currently this is only enabled on the robobrain, brahmin and a few others. Note that you can't override the use_skill_on_p_proc because the targetting circle won't activate on most critters for science (at least...

My way of beating Melchoir is exactly the opposite... I want all his pets to spawn. So basically I have all my NPCs set to "target closest" and stick them behind me (make sure they don't burst!) , putting myself in the front of the bottleneck on the narrow path. Since I'm wearing power...

Sorry about my plethora of posts, but I'm spending all my free time on my mod and it's getting to me. I was digging through the script commands and it wouldn't be impossible. Again, I apologize if I'm incoherent. I've been up all weekend. Basically you'd need 5 or so different sets of...

I have to disagree. I think "tell me about" features are often fiction-breaking because who, honestly, goes up to random people and says "Tell me about..." Personally, I think the answer lies in more complicated dialog scripting. The railroading issue can be taken care of by a wider...
