I am playing that new arroyo realist mod with a melee character , and I have noticed that some of the melee weapons have two attack options , swing or thrust. What's the differences between the two ? It seems they do the same damage and they require the same aps , are there any differences or it's just the attack animations that are different ?

Yeah! Even better, what's the difference between a punch and a jab?

I thought that was kinda obvious? Of course the secondary punches/kicks were armor piercing, and the more AP it took to do, the better change there's to be a critical hit.

Of course it was obvious. If I'm progressing in levels, I would expect that I'd become more powerful.

I just didn't know the exacts.

Gamebanshee mainly.
My ass is full of many things, but not Fallout-related statistics.

By using a gun. Like Sean Connery said in The Untouchables, "Just like a wop to bring a knife to a gunfight".

True, true. I just forget about that one. I dedicate my life to getting Powered Armor and Super Sledges whenver I play, thus leaving hte poor super cattle prod unnoticed.
