The kids in Den

Post by Som Guy »

When you played the game through the first time did you kill those theiving kids in the Den or did you let them live?

My character seriously got spooked by their voices.
Didn't find any ghostbuster weapons, as well no patch, so they live eternal.
Before the war, they were know as milking machines.
Now I use one to piss.
Does that answer your question?

He means that in the European versions of the games, the kids in the Den were removed (so that you couldn't kill them, which is prohibited in games by law), but not their floats. Thus, there are still ghostly "Come and see the Mummy!"-s and "Gamble at Becky's!"-s and so on.
How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

Not directly. If you put the only thing in your inventory as set dynimite and plastic explosives, the kids will steal and unwittingly kill themselves.

They didn't steal from me the first time I played (begginners luck, I guess), so I had no reason to kill them.

you know if they got your stuff if they run back to tubby or whatnot, then you have to barter for whatever it was. usually keep a few extra KeyCards, and they just steal those

Or you could jsut kill Tubby thats what I always did because the town dosen't go hostile when you kill him. Plus I was always trying to get more positive karma.

I think that goes for all of the "anarchistic" towns in the game except New Reno. But, I could of course be wrong.

If you wait a few seconds after entering the Den, some peasant fellow will walk out the door, giving you the possibility of running through it, evading the thieving little kids.

Had the same problem as the Refrigerator. In my second game the invisible kid stole my car part from Klamath, and the car was really eating lots of fuel all game. I learned of the kids later and was playing with the kid patch ever since. I guess the best way to avoid being robbed is entering the combat mode before going through.

Hmm.. It took me some time to realise that those voices belonged to kids who's sprites were left out of the game, but similary I didn't even notice they stole something from my character. Ignorant, but hey, it worked too. ;)

I solved the problem (when they managed to steal from me, that is) by stealing my stuff back from them, since they don't turn hostile if you get caught.

Yeah, but the junkies always take like ten minutes to move. I much prefer the "suicide bomber" method.

You don't have to let anyone move, just enter combat mode, move like 4 hexes and exit combat. It takes just a while - junkies don't take their turn (they wouldn't move anyway).

You can "shove" people in combat mode. At least party members, not sure about other NPC's.
