Getting through the green forcefields

How do you get through the green force fields in the military base? I can't figure it out.

Nevermind. Trusty ol' Repair skill

You can also use the computers.
Might need a high science skill, though.

Ya, it seems like close to a 100% or more is needed to use the computers.

I have to use the tool... it won't let me just use the repair skill... it's odd, cause I thought it did when i first played it.

Your repair skill may not be high enough, the tool gives a bonus.

If that's the case, wouldn't the option still be there, though? And off the top of my head, I have no clue what my repair skill is for that character...

I get mine up to around 96% from books and BoS computer.
I guess it might cost a tidy sum, but if you get your gambling skill up, money is no object.

If you have the radios (2) and use them on the computer, I don't think it takes too much skill to rig them... i'll experiment when I get there!

Money is no object... I went on a killing spree so I had plenty of loot to sell.

Tank, I never knew what the deal was with the 2 radios... I've heard of it, but what do you have to do exactly?

I don't know myself, but I am going to try. Tomorrow morning. Or this morning. Or......It is very, very late. Why don't you just see what happens anyway?

What I did was got my science skill boosted, and used to computer near the robobrains to turn off the forcefields. Saves a ton of trouble.

You can also set the robobrains to kill extra large pests. Mutants are pests.

You can always just blow them up with explosives...

Plug the radio(s) in the computers and you can use them as remote controllers. Switch ON and the force fields turn on, switch OFF and they turn off - simple!

First time I played Fallout, I thought you couldn't get through the forcefields fullstop. So I kept running through the red ones and using up loads of stimpacks. Oh well, dwi'n dwp.

FIrst time I played Fallout, the forcefields kept killing Dogmeat, I kept running through those red forcefields too. It still makes me sad when I think about it and in PS:T I had to leave Morte in the Pillar of Skulls to get out of there, how cruel.

But Fallout 2 manual assumes Dogmeat died in Military Base(forcefields??) so I guess it's nothing we could've done.

I just gave them the Modron cube and the location of ForkTounge. Much better then losing him.
