I always used cars as my lockpicks.

I always used cars as my lockpicks.

"I keep my lockpick in my car, because it's a bit heavy and... car-shaped. <_<"

Well, I just kicked my addiction to crack so I feel like I've won the game. It wasn't as tramuatic as I thought it would be. Just waited in a blanket and drank from a toilet. I did get kicked in the head by no less than two moose, those things are absolute demons.

Speaking as a Canadian with rural parents, this is completely realistic[Minus you surviving the moose attack, that is]. Moose do stuff like attack cars unprovoked, usually coming off with less damage in the end. Do not fuck with moose or moose will fuck you up.

moose op pls nerf

[Nullsrc]

To nerf moose IG you must first nerf moose IRL.

I'll start writing the eulogies.

Just got eaten by a pack of wolves again. They're one of my most frequent death causes, if you exclude Mi-Go, Smokers and an accidental explosion i caused on the mall by throwing a molotov cocktail (). I've been playing this game for some weeks when i have time and so far i'm having tons of fun.

*rolls new character* *picks random profession* *leaves stats all 8's and skills all 0's* *smashes locker, grabs rock, makes makeshift crowbar* *goes outside, wanders around looking for mi-go* *eventually finds one, beats to death with makeshift crowbar*

Yeah. Not seeing the problem here. Unless you were too encumbered or you were crippled from pain/cold I don't see what the problem is. Just make sure you drop your backpack and emergency jacket or whatever and kill the damn thing.

You're either lying or using a modded (outside of the standard mods) game.

Mi-Go have such obscene speed that you can't kill them with a starting character with 0 skills and base stats. Firearms are the best bet, with thick armor if you're using melee.

In fact, Mi-Go are the only thing I've gotten irritated with in Cataclysm. I'm never one to bitch about a hardcore game, but it's a little silly. Even worse, you can't turn them off by default. I've since made a "No Mi-Go" mod, but still.

Mi-Go are the worse! Well, at least for me, i'm still quite a noob. But they're very fast and won't ever give up chasing on you. Just imagine starting a new character, walking a few blocks around the city searching for some supplies and BOOM, a Mi-Go! And that's it! You're pretty much dead!

[Orange Wizard]

I've never found Mi-go to be particularly threatening? Admittedly I jack up character creation points a fair bit so maybe I can't tell.

[Fniff]

Can you share that no mi-go mod?

It's certainly possible and a makeshift crowbar is a good choice. I'd use bushes over a windowsill though, you'll probably need to beat on it for a while. Run mode is like, get out of jail, free, forever, man.

I did a run of this a couple weeks ago, basically made a martial-arts master and roamed around the starting spot killing everything with Krav Maga.  Eventually quit while trying to sleep in a nearby house but being too cold, and also it was completely dark.  Kinda tedious...

I love this game for the stories people find with it, and it's impressive depth.  I want to try again, more seriously this time, finding proper layers and making a fire and such.

But, surely any melee fight is a flirtation with the RNG?  I assume it's safer to go with... spears, or bow and arrow?  I wasn't caught up with this thread until very recently (due to the OOCQ quotes thread) so I have no idea about the current meta.

[Adragis]

Iunno, everything's generally reliable if you pick your fights.

Using the (cheap) tactic i described (and plenty of patience, and yes, tedium) the mi-go will never get an attack off. Also, melee skill gives slightly more than 1% chance to hit per level, last time i checked.
