Did your character have more than 77 HP when the guard bursted you for that much damage? If so, do you remember what the accompanying message said (i.e. 'You were critically hit for 77 HP and ...')? Or did you die because you had fewer than 77 HP before he bursted at you? If thats the case, then I d...

Just one small observation about fighting deathclaws: I noticed that when fighting deathclaws, even the lesser deathclaws, they never seem to die by an 'instant death' critical (i.e. creature was hit for damage less than its current HP, but 'unfortunately, his spine is clearly visible from the front...

I have noticed that in Vault City, once you become a Citizen, the Amenities shops actually increase their prices for you. Also in New Reno, if you become a Prize Fighter, the bartenders for each of the families increase their prices for you. They give you a further price increase if you become a Mad...

Exactly what changes if your character chooses the Cult of Personality perk? According to the manual, "everybody likes your character." According to the perk's description from the character screen, "Your reputation is always positive to people." However, when I play the game wit...

I ...

Suppose I wanted the 'Bonus Rate of Fire' Perk to be available to Level 6 characters with 10 Agility or the 'Educated' Perk at Level 3 through a MOD. What file in master.dat should I edit? Please note: I asked this question on NMA's Fallout 2 Modding Forum. As I still cannot access www.nma-fallout.c...

You can loot silver Geckos and Golden Geckos, but you cannot loot Fire Geckos. By killing a Fire Gecko, you will raise your number of Gecko kills by one, as you would by killing a silver or Golden Gecko. Thus, I am thinking that a 'Lootability byte' might exist in the *.pro files. Or is lootability ...

Does a corresponding critter's *.pro file have a byte that determines whether the player can loot its dead corpse once it dies?
