So, disabling the walkers/robots at crossing makes you unable to ally with the faceless  -  true or false?

False. The gist of it is as MichaelBurge said. Buzzer's death is also avoidable.

Epeli, you have a very thorough knowledge of the game, can you tell me why I am not able to ally with the Faceless when according to MichaelBurge's investigations I should be able to? Here's an entire history of my interactions with them:

--disabled the plasma sentries, snuck into Buzzer's shop, let them read my mind, convinced them to leave and spare Buzzer
--helped them in Foundry by honestly telling them everything I knew, they left peacefully and thanked me
--saved the guy in Core City, gave him a high quality health hypo
--dude showed up at the Institute to warn me to leave, I attempted to do so but the game doesn't continue unless you go and squeal to Eidein, sigh
--sat there twiddling my thumbs and doing nothing at all while the Faceless and Tchortists fought each other, then bravely ran away on the elevator

In essence I did every single thing possible to help them and nothing to harm them, ever, yet they still tell me I am "not an ally." Unless disabling the plasma sentries or using Persuasion to save Buzzer have some negative effect, there is no way they should be neutral to me. I just can't figure it out, and it's frustrating as hell.

There are craftable 5mm shock bullets, but I'm not sure if they actually stun or just add electro damage. 8.6mm incendiary rounds can set enemies on fire, but good luck finding the blueprint for them; I never did.

Also, don't forget about chemical pistols. They have great CC potential.

Sure, I think you could do it. A lot of the loot you find in locked containers is crafting stuff anyway, useless to a non-crafter except as vendor trash. Since you won't be able to explore ventilation shafts and many alternate routes will be closed to you, you will have to expect a lot of extra combat, though. Even if you get really good at stealth, there will be crowded corridors and true-sight bots that you just can't get around without lockpick skills.

Not being able to disarm traps is not a huge problem as long as you can SPOT them to avoid them or set them off from a distance; I'm playing a 0-Traps character right now with high Per and it's just fine.

The psi-talker sounds like a fun character to try this with. Finally, a reason to invest in Mercantile! Traps might present more of a problem here, though, due to the low-Per nature of Psi builds.

The best Fallout-like game since 1999 has an extensive and powerful drug crafting system which relies on some components that can ONLY be found by fishing, just FYI.

Anyway, the Demon Squid and Phantom Jelly can be found in the various caves that open up after you return the drill part. Just explore the caves you access with TNT and keep fishing, you'll find them. The Ghostface, it seems, can only be found much later in the game, in the Deep Caverns.

Suggestions / Re: So, who is using enetgy weapons?
« on: January 02, 2016, 09:08:05 am »
I think this is in the wrong subforum, but to answer your question, me. The electro-pistol does damage that 1. hits multiple clustered targets, making it almost like a mini-grenade you can fire twice a turn, and 2. can stun. It can also reach sky-high crit multipliers with appropriate mods and Practical Physicist; I think mine is doing 255% crit bonus damage right now or something silly. Combine with Aimed Shot, and watch 3-4 enemies drop in one turn. Few enemies resist electric damage, and it works especially great on bots and jerks in metal armor.

I have not found as much use for laser/plasma pistols in comparison.

« on: January 01, 2016, 04:16:59 pm »
It's probably doable, but I would be frustrated by the lower psi regeneration and the incredibly low HP, I think. Until you're able to craft a really strong shield for yourself, that -25% HP on 4 con is probably going to mean a lot of reloads. Dodge and Evasion can be quite good eventually, but they cannot protect you from everything, including other psi users.
