Which version are you playing? The original? If so, are you aware of the damage scaling bug?

Basically, after loading a save, the damage scaling changes. So enemies do the correct damage for the difficulty only until you load a save. On the easier skill levels, the damage increases noticeably after a load. The thread I linked has a "workaround" for the original version.

This thread starts and ends with the Doom chainsaw.

I checked but yeah...that's a lot of steps, so for now i'll just quicksave unless I have to start fresh. Thanks for that, though. :)

(Also sadly it wouldn't help much for Death Wish, I think....that mod is made hard on purpose...but then again that's what makes it slightly more fun, I think.)

I like the SaGa chainsaw better, particularly the SaGa 1 version.

The Maniac Mansion version is even better.

Somebody mention the Redeemer (Unreal Tournament) yet?

Accidentally pulled the trigger without aiming way too often. :P

Edit: Somebody already did it seems. :P

But is that chainsaw capable of killing a god?

Yes, by Zak's Paradox.

Eh, gods are overrated and overhyped....at least that's what Ghostbusters for PS3 taught me.

If it's any consolation, that SaGa 1 character who can saw apart a god can't do the same to a lowly goblin.

What's Zak's Paradox?

Also, how does the chainsaw in Leisure Suit Larry 4 compare? (LSL4 *does* have a chainsaw, right?)

Nah. It's more work to approach enemies at bite disnatce, than just slash them with blades. Props to deves for combining enemies and medkits, though.

Sure the blades are more effective at killing but I enjoyed biting more.

Persuadertron.
