These are quote ripped from the FO to FO conversion thread (long dead). I had this idea while reading about mods and playing FO2, and I was sure that someone else had thought of it. Just wondering if anyone actually has some work on it that could be adapted in a new mod. It's mentioned in...

I was wondering if it would be interesting to put in a roleplaying element into character creation. Champions and GURPS (pnp games) would do this with "Disadvantages" - i.e., things about you that GIVE you character points but hurt you. Classic example: Blindness, worth lots of points. Or...

Oh, so the non cybernetic brainbots are NOT skynet... they are supposed to be whatever you insert. Maybe you could add a dialogue option to the NPCs if they were at <10 HP or crippled... "Hey, I can't save you, but I can put your brain into a robot" Otherwise they turn hostile.

I never got more than a chimp brain into the brain bot... but isn't the point that Skynet OVERWRITES the "target" brain with Skynet? The difference in brains is just capacity. Or are you talking about a different machine that puts NPC brains into robot bodies. I guess it would just...

It doesn't matter, unless you change how NPCs/enemies act when they lose a weapon. They don't surrender; you can't tie them up. You can kill them, cripple them, knock them out in FO. So effectivly, crippling arms is like forcing a disarm and kicking their weapon out of reach (although they...

Well 50 range is the FO max. A real rifle (not talking gauss here) would have a range of 100's of meters (yards), although damage would be reduced. GURPS had a simple "1/2 dam" range for each gun/missile weapon. A gauss weapon is made up - and it's perfectly reasonable that the rifle...

Caveat: I know next to nothing about this kinda stuff Couldn't you just "wash" the wall/floor tiles and scenery blue to give the appearance of being masked by transparency. Wouldn't work for the player/npc/critters though I guess.

Wouldn't this just be a critical attack to to the arm resulting in a crippled limb? Or it this "too much"; you want the guy to be able to pick up his shotgun while you are kicking him in the nuts?

I just think it should be like the fast loader .44mag mod or magneto-laser pistol. You add a scope to a gun, it's better at long range and doesn't hurt you at short. By the time you are 9th lvl or so you can just "golf bag" the guns anyway. I would just make the scoped version +1 lb...

I didn't realize that the push player button in FO2 did anything. I would just reload when I got stuck in a confined space with Sulik. It also took me "quite a while" in FO2 to learn to right-click on the weapon for alt attacks, reload. I thought it was just kinda dumb that the SMG was...

I am no lawyer, but I don't think "rules" or "game mechanics" are copyrightable. They *might* be patentable, but I am pretty sure SPECIAL is not patented. You absolutley cannot steal the CODE. You cannot steal/repurpose the artwork (i.e, I don't think you can SELL a mod without licensing...

You do realize how silly this sounds (yes, I know it's true of the Hunting rifle in FO2). I mean, can't you just NOT look in the scope? I guess "game balance" but... That and why is .223 FMJ (aka 5.56mm ITRW) so much better than 7.62? And why do minigun, hunting rifle, sniper rifle...

Here is a strange one. I have the kill Westin quest from Bishop. I leave, come back and sleep with Mrs. Bishop Bishop harasses me about not killing Westin yet, but lets me go. I get the kill Bishop quest from Westin. I go back and sleep with Mrs. Bishop, can't get the assassinate quest...

/goes upstairs /digs up copy of 3rd Ed. GURPS hardback from 1989 hidden behind wife's romance novels HT = Health, basically hit points. 10 is average. Basic sword swing would do 1d+1 damage (for ST 10) (x 1.5 for damage pentrating armor), 9mm Parabellum Glock round does 2d+2. Modern...

Geeze... I think I played the original Bunnies N' Burrows once.

In GURPS the PnP game, I believe there were some weapons which could be used 1 or 2 handed, depending on wielders' strength. Eg, I think a halberd had a ST req of 12, but with a 17 you could use it 1H. This actually also explains the "swing" vs "thrust" for edged weapons. In GURPS, a...

What's interesting about this approach is that it minimizes the "obvious" character design. There are still issues, because as you level up, you become less and less of a specialist (something that rarely happens in PnP RPGs, because... uh, there is more than 1 PC in your party). In an...

Back when I had time to play PnP RPGs, I loved GURPS. I mean, the whole "generic" idea was kind of whatever, but it did a really fantastic job of skill / character generation / combat system. Also, if you got shot, you tended to be very badly wounded and would bleed to death. Realistic fire...

We call it "Bethesda"

I just posted on this in the main bug thread (wrong thread I guess... since I am using the unofficial patch 1.02d). I think this is what happened to me. Jack is still muttering to himself in his room, but I fixed Dorthea's computer for 3000xp. I will go back and check to see if Jack is...
