question about perks!

[Maxmed]

Did u get ur luck of 10 by that AHS guy, or raised it by urself? 'Cause I had 10 luck as well, got it(raised) from that AHS fellow mentioned above.[/quote]


I am keen on getting a luck stat of 10 (since it eventually leads to better hit points if you drink at the right bar), but were and how did you manage to get it and who is this AHS guy.

if i remember correctly

you can get 2 points of luck in the nrc of the ahs guy
and another 1-2 in san fransisco

so that's already 3-4 luck points

but too long since i played on luck sry can't help and i'm too lazy to think more of the luck points

personally luck really hasn't such a good effect

this is my favorite character setup

strenght 5
agility 9
intellegence 9
perception 9
endurance 3
and luck 1

can be wrong about endurance and luck

long time since i played fallout2 :P

just get gifted tagged :P
and maybe finesse for the x-tra agility point
4 stats get raised by one point
and adv.power armor wil raise strnegh to 10 so u got 4 stats to 10

wich pay's of

[Nihilanth]

My personal favorite for character setup is this with that gifted (Is it gifted?) trait...

STR 6 - can use all weapons and advanced power armour gives you +4 to strenght

AGILITY 10 - I need at least 10 AP's or the game is no fun!

INT 8 or 9 - Very good converstaional capabilities can get you out of a lot of trouble...

ENDURANCE 10 - You have to have health and be resistant to damage and radiation and poison

PERCEPTION 6 - must be able to see things around you...

LUCK 2 - other stats make sure you don't need luck!

Am not sure if that's the rihgt point quantity destribution.. It's been a while...

Generally my most recent play types use roughly this frame:

Finesse and Gifted traits

Strength: 6 for the improved flame thrower without powerarmour and to make the most of the armour when I get it.

Agility: 10 because I like my agility high and early and can maximise my attacks early.

Endurance: 4 I like the other stats better and played well those other hitpoints don't make much of a difference.

Intelligence: 9 more skill points to distribute

Perception: 6 (or 7) usually enough just to get the sniper perk later on.

Luck: 10 always 10 because it's fun to critically hit people to death all the time.

I always choose the perks like Better Criticals and More Criticals and it usually ends up with me having a whooping amount of critical hits during battles using the guass pistol. Whether it a glitch or not Better criticals seems to make it so that a single critical will instant kill even if it only does 1 (or none!) damage.

[Da_venom]

ehm your stats is highly overrated deadalready :P

pick my stats combo :P

better

5 strenght +1 from navaro and u get power armor there so 10 strenght in 2 minutes :P

agility 9 u can raise it with module to 10
intel same
perception too

endurance just doesn't matter hp just suck :P
and luck boring u don't pick perception 9 for nothing do ya?
besides u can easily raise luck troughout the game

1-2 from nrc
1-2 from san fransisco
+1 from perk
maybe some more but that's all i can think of for now

[Deadalready]

I don't use any heavy or energy burst weapons since the game turns pretty boring, so I like to use the HKG11e and Guass pistol singular shots. I will use the Improved Flamer though for the "Hot Dance" though

Each to ones own playing style.

I don't bother to beeline for power armour either and just mosey my way through all the towns doing the quests as they come. Killing everything is fun but you earn it by suffering first. Especially more fun when you finish the entire Navarro base at level 16 with nothing but a G11 and a Sniper Rifle.

[Da_venom]

killing navarro at lvl 16 is a bit late :P

[Maxmed]

Thanxs
That was a loot of good info...
I am stuck with a pile of work that has to be finished before January 2005. So I will pick up playing Fallout soon.
my stats is (if I remember correctly):
Strength 5
Endurence 5
Perseption 7
Intelligens 7 or 8
Charisma 3 (increased skill points on speech, counters the low charisma!?)
Agility 9
Luck 6

[Da_venom]

doesn't matter i think :P

although charisma say's your talking skills will improve, i really think it's not true
it only effects how much part members you can have

and how fast people get mad at you
charisma does however help u persuade people but nothing more

so speech is just for talking but only a few quest require a high speech

yeah, that perk is called "prize fighter". you get it by beating every single challenger in the boxing ring. it increases your H2H skill

[Da_venom]

well prizefighter gives u bonus for h2h but there is a small nich

when your a male and fight, lose one match then immedialty ask the dwarf to show you your worth and if it's ok u may go in again

and then u get a damage resistance bonus and laser and fire if i am not mistaken dunno exact numbers

[Yeltsu]

but you can get your ear bitten off though

[Da_venom]

yea but u can bite his ear off too :P

eye for an eye
tooth for a tooth :P
