wierd encounter

I was playing my characther with 4 or 5 luck and ran across an encounter I've never seen before. I was on my way from the Brotherhood to the Boneyard and came across a guy named Trent. He had the same sprite as Ian and his dialouge was that he was a caravan gaurd for the water merchants but they got attacked by a deathclaw. You can demand he gives you his supplies and he'll give you a Desert Eagle and some ammo. Anyone ever got this before?

I think I remember getting that once.

Well in all my times through Fallout this is the first time I've ever gotten it.

Totally new stuff. Thanks for contributing, mate!

I don't think I've seen it either. Do you have to scare him to get this desert eagle, or does he give it when you ask nicely?

You can ask 2 times each one being different. When I did it, it was something along the lines of "I'm looking for some supplies, hand em' over!"

I've got a savegame of the encounter before I talked to him too if anyone wants the file.

I've gotten that.

Speaking of weird encounters, has anyone gotten the "Ripper Salesman" encounter in FO2?

How is it different from any other merchant encounter?

You come up to a guy and he reads from a card, giving a long Ripper sales pitch. You can then buy Rippers from him (he's got about six or seven). He's well guarded also.

What sprite he uses? The common blue-pants-black-leather-jacket thug or the usual merchant?

atoga · Post by **atoga** » Fri May 16, 2003 10:02 pm

He uses the guy in metal armor (like Cassidy).

Can't remember much else.

Kashluk · Post by **Kashluk** » Fri May 16, 2003 10:08 pm

Uh, do you mean in Leather armor (like Cassidy, Balthas etc.) or Metal Armor (like VC guards) ?

atoga · Post by **atoga** » Fri May 16, 2003 10:11 pm

Oh yeah, Leather. I'm an idiot.

Kashluk · Post by **Kashluk** » Fri May 16, 2003 10:17 pm

Ah, now I remember the guy... He sells those for, what, 800$ per Ripper? And you can buy them through dialogue as well, right?

I've got it once above Modoc. Thought it was the Alien Blaster encounter at first.

yeah, that's the one. I remember getting it above Modoc also... seems like that place's a haven for odd merchants.

It's an interesting encounter, though pretty much useless. I like the idea of a travelling ripper salesman.

Good base for writing a fan fic at least

I need to play though Fo2 all the way, I recently had to uninstall it before I got the chance to go out to the Enclave oil rig, pissed me off.

Why didn't you copy your savegames? That's a pretty good solution in similar situations.

Because I didn't have the time and I was frustrated. I was down to about 30mb free and could barely open up My Computer because of the RAM destruction. Had to get rid of it all and quick so I could free up some more space to free up some more space, ya dig?
