Ragequitting.

Thanks for explaining, Krylo. I haven't played Fallout 3 extensively and I didn't go crazy on VATS. But instead of outright explaining, I got trolled and Mike complained about linearity for no reason whatsoever, while everyone went with "it's a hyperbole except when it isn't".

I would have explained earlier, but I was showering.

Edit: I wiped out the slavers with my 'evil' character using nothing but spiked gauntlets and grenades.

...She was angry they didn't 'know who she was' and wouldn't let her in.

I did it with just the dart gun. It takes at most two darts and a little patience to kill off a person.

What's also fun is when I took down a Supermutant Behemoth with a dart and about 6 bottlecap mines, all without it ever actually seeing me (I made some noise to get it to walk in the right direction, but I never went beyond CAUTION).

I killed one with a powerfist.

And rage.

Edit: Speaking of two hit kills, the one thing I loved vats for on my small guns character was using the sniper rifle or scoped magnum in close combat. Get something like three headshots in one VATS. Each one being an instant death.

Also, unarmed is epic with bloody mess. Punch them so hard their torsos explode.

This thread has now made me sad I never bought Fallout 3

Hmmm, might have to try that. I got a couple left in my current game, and Fisto! is a staple in my inventory.

Just go out and grab the Game of the Year edition. It's, like $50 on steam, and $60 for the consoles. It comes with all 5 expansions, so it's a damn good deal.

The trick is to take out the legs first, and then use fancy foot work to stay outside of its targeting.

Same way I managed to take down a super mutant with my bare hands at level 4 or 5 back when I was doing the Let's Play. Super muties are a little harder, actually, because they can turn and manuever faster, making it harder to stay out of their strike range. Though you can make more mistakes with a super mutant and still live to tell the tale.

I've got the urge to play again and I'm right now trying to decide between trying to get the version I already have working with games for windows live again (huge pain in the ass) or just buying the GotY edition off steam (20 dollars more, when you factor in the couple of DLCs I don't have).

Yeah, that's why I like to lead with using the dart gun on them, it's a nice quick way to cripple the legs. Though a little challenge wouldn't hurt, worst that'd happen is I'd go back a few minutes to my last autosave.

I just ragequit this thread.

Edit: Like I can understand a complaint over what I said about that other game, but the part that keeps getting me is how completely seriously you took the whole descriptive language thing. It's just boggling my mind here.
