Game Forum / Role Playing Games / Fallout / September 2004is this supposed to happen? (Fallout 1 spoilers)
a few odd things have happened so I thought I'd ask went through Necropolis, met the friendly ghouls, fixed the water pipes before taking the chip, released the imprisoned friendly ghoul and killed a few more unfriendlies on the way out. but when i go back after fitting the chip at vault 13, all the ghouls are dead. I'm certain I fixed the pipe first so it can't be that they had no water can it? and are those purple robed guys supposed to off themselves if you talk to them? oh and somewhat unconnected: is the dinosaur footprint just an easter egg? are there any other easter eggs as well as the footprint and doctor who? and is there any way to stop the damn dog (from junktown) from setting off every trap before I have a chance to spot and disarm them? short of killing the dog anyway > a few odd things have happened so I thought I'd ask > went through Necropolis, met the friendly ghouls, fixed the water pipes > before taking the chip, released the imprisoned friendly ghoul and > killed a few more unfriendlies on the way out. but when i go back after > fitting the chip at vault 13, all the ghouls are dead.

Something like the supermuties learn they helped you. It's not the water thing though. > and are those purple robed guys supposed to off themselves if you talk > to them?

There are several more; you're much more likely to get them with high luck. Just run around long enough and you'll get some, but I've never seen more than a few in a single game. Also, in Fallout 2 there are some special encounters that require very /low/ luck. I can't remember if that's the case in Fallout 1 as well. Aside from special encounters, there are tons of easter eggs throughout the game. It can be debatable what you consider an easter egg; some things are pop culture references but still fit in with the game (it IS the future, after all). Fallout 2 is overflowing with easter eggs, almost to a fault. is there a list of them anywhere? I just found the talking cows, "moo. moo I say". wonder if they'd been reading Discworld for that one as for the dead ghouls I had a look on a couple of websites and apparently there should be one friendly survivor in the building near the church with a secret passage to the sewers, but he's not there. probably a bug, or I killed him by accident early in the game thinking he'd attack me >> a few odd things have happened so I thought I'd ask >> went through Necropolis, met the friendly ghouls, fixed the water [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > the future, after all).

I don't know where I got it from though. I don't recall any Discworld book with that.  SignatureDarin Johnson Gravity is a harsh mistress -- The Tick Gaspode says something similar, "woof, woof I say" and "woof, bloody woof" I think in Moving Pictures. either that or Men At Arms >>is there a list of them anywhere?

I think it might be a reference to Wasteland. ok now I found a crashed alien spaceship. nice gun on one body and a pic of elvis on the other, nice easter egg there. but is the gun supposed to mutate it's victims? everyone I shoot turns into a carbon copy of me when they die, except if they're wearing bulky armour, in which case they turn into a mutant. when I came across a gang of brotherhood paladins fighting raiders, one of the brotherhood got caught in the crossfire from my gun so of course I had to kill everyone. the very powerful alien gun came in handy, along with rocket launchers from the glow, but when the paladins turned into mutants I was wondering if mutants had somehow stolen the armour, until I realised it's the gun doing it >> a few odd things have happened so I thought I'd ask >> went through Necropolis, met the friendly ghouls, fixed the water [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > the future, after all).

Sounds like a bug. I never had that happen if you're referring to the solar powered alien blaster. (my favorite weapon due to its ability to recharge) SignatureDarin Johnson Support your right to own gnus. doesn't say anything about being solar powered. says it's a strange gun of alien origin but looks like it could support small energy cells >>ok now I found a crashed alien spaceship. nice gun on one body and a >>pic of elvis on the other, nice easter egg there. but is the gun [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > the solar powered alien blaster.

(my favorite weapon due to its > > ability to recharge) Are we talking about FO2 here? If yes, then the alien spaceship special encounter should give you the "Alien Blaster". It is not solar powered... it runs on energy cells. It is not the greatest laser weapon though, and its ranger is horrible. The solar powered laser pistol is from another encounter, "The guardian" or something like that. It is a stone arch, and when you go through it the first time, it brings you back to V13 in the past... in the weapon room (the one nearest to main computer), on the floor, obscured by walls, is the "Solar Scorcher". It requires 0 AP to recharge when its day time (IIRC 8am to 6pm), outdoor only. It's an okay laser pistol - saves your energy cells for easier encounters. Doesn't have enough power for tough opponents, like Power Armored people, tough aliens, fire geckos, etc. > doesn't say anything about being solar powered. says it's a strange gun > of alien origin but looks like it could support small energy cells I agree the mutation is a bug... never heard of it though. nope, Fallout 1 >>>>ok now I found a crashed alien spaceship. nice gun on one body and a >>>>pic of elvis on the other, nice easter egg there. but is the gun [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > I agree the mutation is a bug... never heard of it though. This is Fallout 1. And the Alien Blaster is one of the best weapons in the game, if you bother with energy weapons. The Solar Scorcher is Fallout 2 only, and it's not a very good gun. The Alien Blaster is a nice energy pistol in Fallout 2 if you find it early enough, but the pulse pistol is far better. (and the gauss guns are better than any, IMHO) >>>>ok now I found a crashed alien spaceship. nice gun on one body and a >>>>pic of elvis on the other, nice easter egg there. but is the gun [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > I agree the mutation is a bug... never heard of it though. |
