Duck and Cover

I was in San Fran, and done with all the quests there. I was about to leave on the tanker when I realized I did not have the Poissony oil computer chip thingy. I paniced and looked carfully through all my NPCs (including my car!). I went back to Vault 13 to make sure I didn't leave it there like an idiot. I thought I would have to manually search every damn town to find it again. Then it hit me...is it possible that one of those damn kids stole it in the Den? I rushed to the Den and checked Tubby's stock. He had it! Those stupid kids! ARGH! I swear, if it wasn't for me selecting the fast shot trait, I would go around wacking all those stupid kids in the groin with a sledgehammer.

Uh, well, good for you.

Just turn combat mode on and walk past them while you are still on action points, this will prevent them from stealing from you. If you run out of action points combat mode should turn off so make sure you end up at more than two hexes away from them.

Or everytime they pickpocket you, you blow their fucking brains out

i dont remember but isnt there some no bad karma thing if you kill those kids? or do you still get evil rep and child killer?

Yeah, but that's fun

Sledgehammers are the best, btw, for killing kids and innocents in general. I pride myself on going through Fallout 1, and killing every single person everywhere (yes, everyone) with only sledgehammers. Didn't even cheat. The entire wastes... littered with people with their faces blow apart by a sledghammer to the eyes. Pretty cool Erm... or something.

Those kids always bugged the hell out of me, i would just steal right back from them because i always have a thief character, as soon as i see them making their damned move.

That´s a reallly good solution... If your evil that is.....But i am so...

You're saying you didn't kill Tubby?
That guy is far too wealthy not to kill. He'll understand. The economics of the wastes. Those with the bigger, better guns gain wealth. All others die.

I used to enjoy killing children in Fallout 1, talk about guilt pleasures...

But smacking them lil kiddos around with a sledge, especially a super sledge is just plain depraved!!!

It's probably more humane than stealing their play rocks and throwing them at their eyes Did that too... I'm pretty sure I've played evil out in FO1.

Take out their legs, take out their arms. And watch them hobble around trying to escape.
No mercy for the thieves.
The death penalty for the thieves. No such thing as cruel and unusual punishment. The world is a harsh place, child.

well, it is a dark world, punish kids at your own peril... But everyone hates you..

I remember i killed plenty kid in FO1 and Father lasher was so pissed at me... Saying I sent all the lil pipsqueeks to hades without being cleansed... bastard...

you serious? heh, never gotton that. Might have to do that.

My personal favorite is to drop all off all of my gear into my car except for some explosives. Save your game. Set the timer for the max and walk past every kid in the Den that you can. One of them is sure to steal the activated explosives. Wait for the explosion to happen and get a good laugh.

That´s just pure amusement!!!

Yep.

How many pieces do they end up in , again?

hehe, the explosive sounds cool. I'll have to try that but not if it gets you child killer. I'll kill anything if i can either get away with it or dont get any bad names such as child killer. A good way to kill them with out getting this is to engage combat when they steal of you, shoot the little bastards in the leg and they will turn to run if you cripple the limb. This gets rid of them and you dont get the child killer. Or if you want to finish them, do the same but then just let Sulik or one of the other members of your group kill them. That way you dont get the child killer when they die.
