iirc, special encounters are not dependant on luck, although I can't recall exactly if Outdoorsman is... just keep walking around and avoid using the car.

The car virtually eliminates all encounters.

Falche 2 is a trainer for Fallout 2 that allows you to modify your character to godlike heights. More details are located here.

I thought manuals only raised a skill to 90% or so.. :?
suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. suddenly somebody will say like 'plate' or 'shrimp' or 'plate of shrimp', out of the blue, no explanation.

Yup, skills can only be raised to 91% in FO/FO2 using books. FoT is another matter, though.

maybe... but he specificly said "outdoorsman manuals"
so, i doubt he is using the super hint book after beating the game.

I personally wouldn't spend those 5 points on Luck, but ok.

get yourself the explorer and other such perks, anything that has to do with "special/random encounters" can help if you really want to find them. (and with the hint book it is no sweat to gain levels.

Not as I've seen. I've only gotten the bridge encounter, and COBD encounter, even after the hintbook (Outdoorsman 300%) and all the available SE perks. None.

Outdoorsman affects how many encounters you get? I thaught it was just the choices of them...
