What's up with those unreachable lockers?

I mean really, why are they there. What is the game mechanic behind storing the npc's stuff in a locker, on screen?

Looking at the mapper, there aren't any other maps that I know of that do the same thing?

Or are the shop items stuck somewhere else, like a table that you can't access in game?

Anyone know / have any idea?

One possible answer:

They've built it in, because they wanted to freak out the community, and obviously they succeeded.

And consider the following:

The lockers are VISIBLE and REACHABLE (unlike other possible lockers in the game)

Or, like the voices in my head wanted me to tell you, it's part of a big conspiracy!

I'm sure they did fuck up making them visible, but... I donno? There's nothing else like it on any other map, is what I'm getting at.

It probably is a conspiracy...

So the voices in my head were right and I'm not insane!

Anyway, I think it's just one of the 52546246 krizillion eatereggs in Fallout 2.

Ahem, anyways, is Broken Hills anywhere near your starting village? If so, some 'crappy' guns and some drugs may help you in the beginning.

You can reach them, its just like in the volcano mission in Rage of Mages where you simply go around the fence to avoid a tough fight.

Hard to do.

Actually you are all morons

Those three lockers represent the inventory of the miscelanious merchants found in Broken Hills.

They are designed that way so that when you kill or try to steal from them you receive nothing!

the reason for their existence has already been established you fucking dweeb. the question here is why they are visible when those in other settings are not.

Why, as Snake bait, of course.

Of course.

A pity no one will stomp upon the head.
