Cult of Personality, and I think he was just being coy...

bein' Jesus , he would surely know what it was

I do enjoy a good dish of coy, but cult of personality does not double the rate at which you +/- Karma.

righte-o

it just lets you use absolute value.

Was there a karma-magnet perk?

I guess thatÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s pretty close, but it only counts for dialog and reactions.

I don't think they properly implemented it even in those situations. Where else is Karma supposed to come into play anywy?

Have to say I've never scrutinized dialgoue choices so much. Looking forward to doing a run through as a Nosferatu.

Make Adrenaline Rush useful.
Include Backgrounds, Perks, Quirks(different name to avoid copyright), and Traits.
Make Karma Beacon as awesome as I envisioned it when taking it at first
Make Cult of Personality a dialogue opener, but do not show [use Cult of Personality] or other bullshit like in recent Bioware games
Make doggies/animals better
Flower Child should have more levels, just because
Eye on the Prize
Make Emapathy less powerful

Flower Child wasn't even in FO2, for whatever reason. Only in FO1 and FOT.

Uber Pyromaniac: You LOVE setting everything on fire including people... You gain +10 damage with fire weapons and you resist 3-9 fire damage but your speech (since you like to set people on fire) suffers moderately to greatly

Well, wasn't there only 1 weapon in the game that actually did fire damage (the flamethrower [before being upgraded]), meaning that this would be as useless as the Pyromaniac perk?

flamethrower. molotovs. nades.

That's silly as a trait though.

How about no?

As for weapons, there's certainly room for new fire-based gadgets.

+10 to flame damage? Thats fucking shitty.

There should be a way to create own traits and backgrounds.

atoga · Post by **atoga** » Sat Sep 16, 2006 5:41 pm

I think that would ruin the novelty of it. Fuggin munchkins.

PiP · Post by **PiP** » Sat Sep 16, 2006 5:55 pm

pyromaniac trait would be ok IMO, extra fire AND explosive damage, extra exp in related skills.
