Is it worth it to kill Metzger?

Post by HappinessInSlavery »

As in, will the entire town rebel against me if I do it? More importantly, will I still get Vic if I do it?

No, infact, if you kill Metzger, most of the town treats you like a hero. I'd do the quest to get vic first though, get the XP, and then kill him and get your money back, though.

yeah, it's definitely worth it, tons of exp for a low level character and they're pretty easy to kill with a FN FAL with night sight or something. Another handy trick is to steal all their ammo before starting a fight so they can't reload

I simply locked them in the house, got rid of the few slavers outside, and then killed every single cunt inside through the windows.

If you feel badass enough, join the slavers for extra fun and $$$. You get a nasty tattoo as well and your karma will plunge like IPLY stock.

yeah the karma drop is totally worth it, you get berzerker in no time, which is totally artcore

otherwise you lose out on half of the quests 8/

never thought of locking the negroes in though :stroke of genius:

Attack the storage building first, without permission.

That way when you fight the slavers they will all be on Psycho.

Makes it tons more fun.

Or you can wait for it to wear off then kill their coming-down-off-drugs asses.

Boozing them up is fun, too. Just use beer/etc. on them.

Save the Jet for dosing the Enclave. Then rest. Hysterically funny to have them all coming down off that shit while giving them the medieval treatment.

I would always go into one of rooms after bursting one of the guards with my trusty SMG.

I just sit in Mom's and take potshots at them through the windows. Bonus Move helps. I think the way is too long for them to calculate pathfinding, so they're just standing there.

This might work only for the outside ones though, I don't remember if the rest comes running or not.

I usually go for the first guy and blow his head open with the shotgun. Feels groovy. I ain't no stealthy person.

It actually works...

Killing metzger is the first thing that nets you a load of guns and ammo, and thus money. I'd suggest waiting 'til you get a .44 mag revolver though.
does this work

Oh yes. And everybody knows that icing flick is the easiest and tastiest way to get the .44 mag (sometimes up to 3 of the motherfuckers, which is hillarious). 'Cause fuck flick. And fuck his kids.

The Den is one of my favorite towns in FO2, simply because to me it behaves like a real post apoc shitfest town probably would. "O lawd, is dat some gunshots? Someone go see if there's beer/drugs money in the street" The npcs are similarly useless and shiesty too. From ripoff whores to ripoff casino.. It's all in the den.

Rescue Vic/Steal all the ammo they have/Lock the outer door,mid door and prisoner door/Stay at entrance room and open combat/clear the entrance room/You can close the combat with entering one of the side rooms and pressin` close combat/Heal up as you can with doctor and first aid skills/Open combat again/Clear the room where Metzger stands from the window(right side of the door)/Clear the rest of the room by enterin` if anyone alive left/Snipe the poor runners at outside(that will mean lots of open-close combat)

Yeah :chainsaw: done!!

If you need an extra level before going after slavers, pick off the slaves through the fence.

Might have to maneuver around a bit.
