Hey all,
Due to the hype and storm surrounding Fallout 4 - I've decided to give the root games a try
I've never played any Fallout games before, and it is kind of sad to read that Fallout 4 took away from the RPG elements and went more towards the streamline FPS genre instead.
Back to the topic of this post however - I have just started Fallout 1 and I am at a loss
I have basic/moderate understanding of RPG but never have I seen a skill/stat system so restricting but at the same time having a lot of effect with each point.
So far I am having real fun with the game and exploring the various aspects of it, however I can't help it with some questions
1) Is there a way to increase the base stats in the future? (INT/STR/END etc...)
2) I love to play agile heavy hitters (Due to crit), and because of it have had to reduce my INT and STR to 4 and 3 accordingly... Was it a mistake?
3) Pistols are 5 AP points to use and 6 while aiming for a specific part. Is there a way to reduce AP cost? Or increase available AP for combat later on? (I do know that you can increase movement AP with perks)
4) Why do i miss so much?! And why is my damage is so insignificant? 4-6 points of damage with guns and 1-4 with melee weapons. I know I should have not tackled the raiders the moment i've seen them.... However I did and I did manage to kill them all with the only big challange being Garl (Or something) which caused me to use 3 or 4 steam packs. But most of the damage was done by my mercenary assistance Ian -.- My damage was insignificant at best and the best i could do is face people straight in the face and hit their legs with a knife so they will fall down and Ian has a better shot at them
I understand that via character creation i might have gimped my character and will be re-doing it if necessary because i barely made it to Junk town (Only annoying to steal loot from everyone again) but I would like to get some tips to make my life easier in the long run as well as the beginning.
Now I do understand that the raiders were a bit of a challange which i might have left for later, but it was still fun and I would definitely would want to do it again but this time by being a bigger role in the encounter...
Also after annihilating the entire camp, there were 2 closed doors and pretty much no loot except for the dynamite in the fridge - Did i miss anything?
Thanks in advance for anyone that will comment. I know that I have no idea! But that's exactly why I am here and asking questions
