Worst weapon anybody?

Discuss the game that started it all, and its sequel. Technical questions and issues go into the Fallout Technical Support forum, not here.

Den - the traders in west part. I usually kill those two evil ones and take their stuff (at least 5 throwing knives included). Then there are the NPC's (steal, you know) and if I remember right some boxes/drawers/shells have 'em.

Modoc - various boxes/drawers/shells, the Mayor's place, lost & found-box and some NPC's.

The traders aren't a sure way of getting throwing knives. I'm at the Den, and neither of the two traders have got a single throwing knife. Smitty and his lockers hasn't got any, Lara's gang and her bookcases and lockers have none, neither does the owner of The Hole or the bookcases inthere. Becky hasn't got any, Mom has none, Karl has none, Mom's container, table and bookcase hasn't got any. Metzger hasn't got any, i didn't check every single slaver, but i'm pretty sure they have no throwing knives, based on earlier games. Well i didn't check every single reliant either, but i doubt they have that many knives.


My problem is, i'm playing a throwing character, and with throwing knives being so crappy, you need a load of them to take down anything, unless you want to spend time picking them up while the enemy is shooting you :?

If you need them THAT much go back to Klamath and see if the guys have some, then get back to The Den and the merchants might have restocked...

For me the most disappointing weapon was the laser pistol.

I still remember the first time I got to New Reno, and how the Salvatore (sp?) family was supposed to be so formidable because of their Lightbringers (or whatever, its been a while). So I did the quests and got one and it was, well, pants really. Oh well... Still, the bit where the Enclave deliver them was cool.

I don't bother with knives of any sort in the game. Though the pipe rifle sucks ass in stats, when it's your only firearm in the very beginning of the game, it's an asset.

The pulse rifle rocks! I dismiss its bloodless deaths after I encounter the Enclave and need a badass weapon to kill them in 2 shots or less. (Ofcourse I use the Bozar!)

I really really dislike mellee weapons because you have to get up close to attack and your enemy maybe carrying some heavy firepower! 8O

yes, melee sucks when you have to run up to multiple guys all with gauss rifles, normally you die in a bloody painful death...

I love all bullet firing weapons but they need better sound but all the laser weapons suck they look so crappy all of them are crap. I have sworn never to use them until they looked realistic. No these weird corigated pipes that have a bulge in the middle are a pity to look at, and I think that was a the not best idea of the game if they looked a little bit better no realistic then ok fallout = 9.7 with crappy laser weapons 9.99999 with cool realistic looking laser weapons.

How can something that doesn't really exist, look or not look realistic?

That's the style of the game retro 50's take on futuristic pulp Sci-fi. Personally I think the energy weapons look the best of any in the game.

Were it not for my world-weary cynicism, I could not believe a human could be so thoroughly stupid unintentionally. Even so, I still have my doubts.

I second M5it-m38's suggestion, or at the very least encourage ritual emasculation*. :drunk:

Zig is a man of questionable judgement. I should say was, before he met his untimely demise. RIP. And is it just me, or are Mad Max's posts the most unintelligible jumble of words ever strung together by an idiot in a retarded stupor? I can't even get half-way through his "sentences" before the words seem to vibrate and swirl together randomly.

On worst weapon I'd have to vote on the shiv, I guess... eventhough it had some "mystery" to it(I allways wondered if it could be used in some quest or sneak-killing weak opponents, like children for example... Cut! Cut! Kid, you're dead!)...

HAHAHA! Yes, indeed. But actually it looks allmost as if it takes skill to write in that kind of manner... The image I got when I read his post was that either he has consiously trained in writing like a 8 year old with DOWN-syndrome and a dictionary or something... or he was dead drunk when he wrote it. Assuming that he not a 8 year old with DOWN-syndrome, that is.
There are no 'knowns'. There are thing we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know. So when we do the best we can and we pull all this information together, and we then say well that's basically what we see as the situation, that is really only the known knowns and the known unknowns. And each year, we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns.
