Yeah, my minigun sort of faltered with the mother deathclaw due to her high armour rating. Works fine against mutants, though. I'm always a little hesistant to apply unofficial patches. It almost feels like cheating. And I haven't had the chance to choose action boy yet. I have the Night...

I finished my previous FO1 runthrough using energy weapons, so I thought I'd try with big weapons, and already I'm having a blast! One you get big weapons, you can't go back to small. The minigun feels so much more... destructive.. than the alien blaster or turbo plasma rifle. Butchering...
