you Tag! after you spent almost all your points in a skill so that after you take the perk you do not immediately exit character screen; you retract skill points from the 300+ skill (like using either the "left" cursor key or the "-" minus key or clicking the mouse)... until it gets to 299 or...

155 small guns skill is not high enough. you need to aim in night conditions and there's also armor class in the way. i'd say you would need at least 200 for small guns and even more for energy weapons which would work best with aimed shots too. 155 small guns would be enough only for the...

another example, if you care to have a diplosniper which is to delay investing into the small guns skill until taking the Tag! perk for speech and then gets to navarro at level 12-15. this example does not take drugs or books into boosting a skill to be tagged with the perk later on but only the...

either ~300 energy weapons in order to be able to score high damage aimed shots at long range in the late game... or small guns maybe lowered from ~300 after taking the Tag! perk and then boosting other skills. when you Tag! you can take back points from the boosted skill. this is all about...

after some playing around i noticed that if Ice or Farsight are around then i get to choose and reject most of the encounters. so, outdoorsman skill works on recruits but i'm not yet clarified on how scout, explorer, ranger perks work on affecting SE rate (if it matters or not which recruits...

Here's a complete explaining how you can not only quickly but also safely complete Peoria with the maximum loot and minimum ammo spent... i did it on tough guy mode with no problem. Use diamond spears and recruits that have high melee skill: Torn, Beth, Kevin, Stumpy (watch out for some trapped...

All this i am writing here is intended especially for the 'tough guy' mode. It does offer more experience points but also requires more caution and tactical planning in missions because there's no possibility of saving/reloading every minute. Also, if you think you can't allow yourself to play...

time passes three times - 3x - faster than in real life. for example, you'll probably get into situations where you'll want to add some psycho in the mix with voodoo (1 psycho, 2 voodoos for example) because the voodoo will have its drawback in less than 7 minutes (6.66 minutes). psycho will...

the fusion cola thing should be the main reward for having CH higher than 4. minimum 5. so it makes sense to have both divine favour and fusion cola. it's nice to play the game with that alternative in mind. well, if i develop the character so that it doesn't inflict damage from long range...

a final suggestion: play on tough option. you level up faster. right? i read it is so on the interwebs... it also makes you (by means of restricting) experience the game more intensely. the only downside for me is that it doesn't permit saving if some real life event takes place and you need to...

@Sarin. i'm not saying you SHOULD use drugs. i'm just saying (even light) use of drugs may help more than you ever thought as it is obvious by your choice of EN:2. please correct me if i'm wrong. are after burner gums in a very small quantity to be found in the game? i found two of them in the...

combat: i think having a squad of 5 members instead of 6 is not too much annoying. it's just that you have to have the right perks for them. you have access to Rage, Ice, Mandy from the start. all are good. you can go with drugs to increase strength if you don't manage, remember this. a decent...

first, i think fast shot is better than kamikaze because chance to be hit is lowered by 10. if big bad monsters normally would have (with you being a kamikaze) a 66% chance to hit you then without the kamikaze perk they get 56%. fast shot gives more damage (1AP for pulse pistol or 3AP for energy...

I. thanks. i guess raising the skills by using drugs should not be possible. because either: a. the game would be too easy for using such trick (if it was not intended to be available) b. the game would be too hard (if someone wouldn't know the trick is intended to be available) II the thing...
