Dumbest newbie mistake ?

Post by PsychoSniper »

I remember I started out of order with FO2........

I basicly was just going the trade routes, and had gotten a pancor and was being a burst mode badarse mofo.


Then a few trips later, I wonderd what that little tab meant .....


Id gone bout 12 levels without leveling up



d'oh.

... You know, how about we stop at the fact that pointless caves in general suck. Jeez, I almost stopped playing Fallout 2 after seeing the Temple of Trials.

At any rate, stupid newbie mistake,

1. Not realizing that burst fire weapons have a 90% chance of killing both your enemy, and that damn tribal with the sledgehammer

2. Not realizing that NPC allies can't shoot

3. Not realizing that NPC allies don't know when not to shoot
Yes, I like Fallout. Yes, I like Fallout 2. Even Brotherhood of Steel had its merits. I enjoyed Morrowind, and I play Oblivion. They are five separate games, so stop comparing them!
That's right, five separate games.

Unless you get the Fallout combo-pack.

I knew! har har har! everyone makes a mistake! I was 13 years old when I first played the game, and had to start over at least 5 or 6 times before I got the hang of it :S
