Bugs / Re: Infinite looting of a footlocker

The object called "work station", I'm positive I was getting multiple items from that before. It's just up a level from the coil spiders then east onto the platform levels.

There's actually quite a lot of agility checks that have different checks depending on the side you're on. It's easier to go down a pipe than up, so 6 for down and 8 for up makes sense. Two I can think of off the top of my head, one in Fetid Marsh, a 16 agility check to jump down an area, 20 to jump back up. The other a steep drop in the vents in Utility Tower 6, 10 to jump up but only 3 to jump down.

Speedy, thanks! Also there was three more things I remembered, one has been sorted (https://stygiansoftware.com/forums/index.php?topic=7965.0), the other two pertain to the same location. If you light a fire and unfreeze some death stalkers, they will be forever unfrozen in reloads, I first noticed this in some room with valves, fire pit in the middle, death stalker to the east and west. The final thing was another infinite respawn, there was an object that when looted offers a battery (fusion?) and a mech kit IIRC, I could reload and keep looting it.

Bugs / Infinite looting of a footlocker

« on: November 07, 2021, 09:31:01 am »

In the Lost Vault, there's a perception check for a footlocker a couple rooms nearby the industrial bot. I noticed if I find it, loot it, quicksave then reload, I can find it again and loot this infinitely. I believe the item inside was a high (130Q+) wave amplifier.

I found it strange that even when I opened all the facilities for the pirates, they didn't get shit til the "actual" raids started in South UR. Despite they (seemingly) looted them all.

I have a 3/7/7/3/18/3/7 (str/dex/agil/con/per/will/int) build that specialises in crossbows, stealth, evasion. Makes heavy use of traps, occasional throwing. Can pick/hack anything (with relevant buffs here and there). High mech/electronics to craft, a little bit of biology/chem for bolts and stuff, some in per+merc because its useful. I feel like I get the best of everything really. Can sneak through shit if I CBA, I usually KO everything quickly due to high damage and crit % (feats and such), I spot everything, I can boost agil+str high anyway with relevant items for those checks. I only play normal and consider myself pretty casual, which is why I like evasion, even if I doubt its usefulness.

Re Q4, I encountered the slav gang and the femme fatale in my most recent playthrough. The slavs had two dogs, Bog and Batina (dobermans), alongside their masters Vidoviti Boban (psionic), Cheda Pacov (shotgun), Lepi Slavko (pistol) and Crni Mile (cbow). I probably encountered them at about level 22, can't say for sure. They were east of Foundry train then north, a cauldron of soup and mushrooms had spawned in with them.

The other group, it was two zones east of the Foundry train, south, then west, they were sitting in the corner with a barrel. This was some time after the slav gang, maybe level 24. There was Eden (probably the sniper, there was definitely a sniper), Pearl, Crimson (cbow), Willow (maybe pistol judging by the ammo I left on her corpse) and Velvet (sledge).

Can't really offer much more. I am aware it's a necro but still.

AFAIK this was a bug that has now been patched.

I had this problem too. But if it makes you feel better I have 10 INT and could not manage to get him to discuss the centre at all and still managed to get Philisophy 3.

General / Re: Random encounter frequency?

« on: October 25, 2019, 05:13:27 am »

I've had six in my current playthrough that I remember off the top of my head, or at least recognised as randoms whether via prior knowledge or researching after the fact. Two beggars (though one I reloaded and it didn't appear again), a merchant, some rogue plasma walkers, a guy half dead needing aid and several dead gangsters around a bag.

Funnily enough I thought the guy being half dead was related to the dead gangsters. He had killed someone, survived, I fixed him up and he lived to see another day. Later coming back, there was the bag and three dead gangsters on the same spot as the previous dead guy, wherein I presumed the one I aided had finished the job properly this time round, to later find they were separate random events and they just over-lapped on each other.

Suggestions / Re: Decimation of Fort Apogee garrison should affect the game world

« on: October 25, 2019, 03:55:52 am »

But most importantly, it's a game; it's not realism, it's not a training simulator.  It doesn't have to be probable.

Without trying to seem rude, I don't think you quite understand suspension of disbelief.
The game acknowledges relatively minor things after you beat the final boss of the base game, such as the events at Rail Crossing. I know that's quest related and creating ending cutscenes for each possible event of X player decided to wipe out X,Y,Z factions isn't really the most viable, but ignoring that it doesn't make much sense in-game to not have people react. The game has a couple nods to me wiping out some mutants in the DLC.

Bugs / Great Siphoner Pools Trap

« on: October 25, 2019, 03:15:43 am »

I'm pretty sure it's a trap, anyway, perhaps me and my girlfriend just didn't see an escape.

So we were exploring the Great Siphoner Pools and noticed an agility jump of 7. We came back later with a supersoldier drug we got off one of the fellas at the Aegis camp, which boosted our agility from 5 -> 7. We jumped over, looted the rare ingredient plus a green wort and checked out the crevice at the back which gave us a chuckle. By this point, the drug had worn off. So we were back to 5 agility and could not jump back. As I said, we couldn't see an escape, nothing along the waterline besides the agility obstacle (and there's little point of the obstacle in this place if they were going to just let you walk past anyway), there didn't seem to be anything along the rockface. Just as well we loaded an auto-save.

General / Re: [minor spoilers] The Faceless at Rail Crossing

« on: July 15, 2016, 12:54:58 pm »

I killed all the Faceless in and around Buzzer's shop (also I didn't let the Mindreader get a chance to speak to me), saved Buzzer and I had them ally with me. I didn't disable the plasma walkers. I have to admit it was a surprise to have the commander call me a friend after that but I won't argue with him.

E:
For the other checks, I saved the injured Faceless with an advanced health typo, I did their little recon quest.
I also fought and killed a group of Faceless I found wandering seemingly independently in Core City (or near enough, the area has a few tents, I believe an old man psi user and you follow a metal path into a cave to find the Faceless).

I've been looking for new RPGs to play and had recently snagged Wasteland 2 when I came across this too. It was clearly reminiscent of FO1/2 and I didn't need much more convincing after a few screenies.
