Not that I'm complaining, but I thought she raises CHA? Is this dependent on what "type" of character you are playing?
It's 2 luck, not charisma... I fyou don't get that you can get another "Alignement" in SF isntead which CAN raise 1int and 1 luck though.
Besides the +2 luck I got on the Hobo in NCR, there are other ways to raise luck without "gain luck" perk?
No. Well, there is an exploit but it's complicated to trigger it and I've not talked to anyone I can really trust who reproduced it.
Any why use a "gain luck" perk that gives a +1 to luck and +1% to critical hit rather than a "more crit" perk that gives +5% to critical hit?
Because of the Sniper perk (which you mentioned in your list of perks you wanted). Read up on what it does on the manual and you'll know why you want more luck.
Now if doing that means I can't get them to upgrade my car, then I just missed my second upgrade, that is, if they ARE the one to upgrade my car. Am I correct or not?
No, you can still get it. It's somewhere really not obvious on the map in some part of the city that's all.
1. I became a made man for mordino, then went to Shark casino, and got attacked by Bishop's men. I became a made man for Wright, THEN for Mordino, then did not get attacked when going into Shark casino. Why is this?
I don't remember who Shark's joint belongs to, however normally as soon as you become made man for a family, all other families will attack you. HOWEVER, there are bugs where you won't be seen and can talk to the head of the familly that way. As soon as you become made man for this family the family will no longer attack you (you can effectivly exploit this and become made man for all four families)
Is being a made man for one family or the other really that important? I mean, do you get specific bonuses if you become a made man for Mordino or Wright or Bishop?
You get better deals here and there. Quite frankly most people end up killing all the families for some XP, loot and fun :D. I won't tell you what I do since it's a bit of a spoiler...
3. Are the Salvatorre's always the massacred one? Looking at their numbers, they are just asking to be killed... they've got much much less men than Bishop or Mordino, but maybe not more than Wright, but the Wrights are easier to talk to.
Yeah they are. In fact they're probably so easy BECAUSE you need to kill them...
1. Is the Bozar really just a burst gun? I mean, it is a "refinement to the sniper's art", so why burst? The Bozar being a burst gun turned me off, that's why I got Energy Weapons Perk...
Yeah it is. Heavy weapon at it too. I don't like it personally since it's too powerful and removes all tactics from fights.
2. If an NPC says he can use a "rifle", does this mean he can use both a SNIPER RIFLE and a LASER RIFLE?
Basically it means "He can't use what looks like a rifle when you wear it" (because the sprite he was designed doesn't feature him using this rifle) That's how it works (mostly). Kashluk is of course right about the part about the laser rifle being an energy weapon, however he shouldn't have mentioend the weapon he did since it's a spoiler to you, and his statement is partly wrong anyway. Lastly the statement about a coding limitation in the engine which didn't permit the weapon to be good in both long and short range is correct.
3. The Scope Hunting Rifle has longer range but lower damage than a Sniper Rifle, but has trouble when the target is near. The SR has shorter range and bigger damage but no problem when the target is near. Am I correct here? Either way, the SR sux! Glad I'm now stuck with a Laser Rifle, but just want this issue cleared up for future FO2 games.
Sorry can't help, I'm not into rifles (I only use it to take out the turrets in SAD...
4.[...]Anyway, can anyone tell me the pros and cons of burst guns like the Bozar or Minigun (the Avenger/Vindicator looks cool) as compared to energy guns or small guns rifles that do targeted shots? Thanks!
For the most part it's playing stile... Use the bozar if you like to mow down your opposition, use a rifle if you like to pick them out. Of course if you're someone who likes to keep his NPCs alive it's easyer to pick your targets out as NPCs tend to get in the way sometimes...
