Ah yes, Fallout 2. Many fond memories. Especially the one where i accidentally punched out half a guys ribcage because he tried to barfight me (instant kill critical). I actually had to savescum multiple times just to avoid getting the entirety of NCR on my ass for accidental murder. Not that i couldn't have taken them, every single one of my punches back then had a 20% chance of instantly killing any human (hence the accidental part), possibly even more so when actually aimed. The trick? Slayer perk (unarmed attacks ALWAYS crit) + Better Criticals perk, along with a shitload of Unarmed skill. Just to give you an idea of how ridiculously powerful this guy was, he punched out (read: killed) super mutants and deathclaws with his fists just because brass knuckles and such (read: mega power fist) didn't cause knockback. Also the fact that my punches only cost 2 AP when i had 10 was pretty neat. So if i used my mega power fist, that's 5 insanely powerful falcon punches heading for your eyeballs every round, each of them having a chance to just flat out kill you, while the rest just cause ridiculous damage. Ranged weapons? No problems, Advanced Power Armor (MKII possibly).

That's also my tactic these days, always.

Oh, hi Frank. Nice rapid-fire plasma gun you got there. Too bad the arm it's attached to is crippled and that you're now blind.

What to do with the remaining 6 AP? Nutshots, anyone?

Punching him to death brings some poetic justice, as well. Remember Matt? The... residents of Vault 13?

I sure do.

It was a hell of a bloody fight... My three allies were odd sorts, totally mismatched and individually outgunned. One was a tribal with a bone through his nose, he had a sub-machine gun that he always fired on full auto regardless of the circumstance. Rat bites him? Go full auto. Allies in the way of target? Go full auto. Hopelessly out matched by mutant chameleons with razor sharp teeth and talons? Go. Full. Auto.  The middle man (bought from slavers) was a fat trader-slash-repairman who whined incessantly if he got a shot even a little. He used a sniper rifle but had the unusual tendency to run up to point blank range before firing, usually forcing him into a situation that was way over his bald head. The last was an aging gunslinger/barkeep with a heart condition who used the fourth wall as his own personal crutch. Despite being grey headed, plagued by chest pains, and occasionally crotchety as all, he was a damn fine shot with the automatic shotgun that I'd managed to scrounge up for him. That left myself; powered armored, grave-robbing, champion of the wasteland, and a part time gigolo who happened to be carrying enough advanced weaponry to put a dozen new craters in the moon.

The enemy? Eight robed Scientology wannabes armed with everything from caseless assault rifles to plasma grenades, though their greatest weapon by far was the irritatingly peppy slogans they kept spouting during battle. Four guards armed with FN Fal assault rifles and decked out in full body armor were also stationed in the room, with another four out in the hall who, of course, were nosy bastards and wanted to investigate the sound of a prolonged gun battle in the lunch room. Then there was the leader of Scientology wannabes... I honestly never got his name before I started shooting, everyone just kept referring to him as AHS-9. Topping it off was a pair of porn stars who were advertising the "Hubology" to the wannabes.

To roll that back,

A Power armored wastelander with a penchant for buggering
A Tribal with no concept of friendly fire
A Fat man with a sniper rifle that he used like a melee weapon
And an old, sickly barman with an automatic shotgun

Vs.

8 Armed Hubologists (Scientologists)
4+4 Armed and Armored guards
1 Leader of the Hubologists
And 2 porn stars

We were outnumbered worse than four-to-one, but we gave them hell. The pornstars went down first (Entendre...), cut down by my own assault fire. The Hubologists, despite being heavily armed, had no clue how to use their weapons. Two of them attempted to throw grenades, succeeding only in killing one of their own and heavily injuring another in the first volley. They were eventually gunned down by the Tribal and the Barman, caught in a crossfire of automatic weapons. The security guards were trouble, wearing body armor and actually having a decent knowledge of how to use their own weapons. They went down to a series of precisely aimed shots from my gauss rifle, striking at their unarmored eyes when possible.

The leader of the Hubologists died like a pansy. He attempted to flee the scene but accidentally ended up stepping in front of one of his own trigger happy hall guards, the guard in question promptly removed a chunk of his ribcage and then proceeded to shoot through him.

It was long, gruesome, and I lost count of the number of bodies that got hopelessly mangled by automatic weapons fire. The barman was almost dead, the trader was bitching about a couple of boo-boos, and my leg was shattered, but we were the only ones left standing.

Fallout 2

I remember that fight. Let me think... I was wearing advanced power armor when I first walked into AHS-9's room and critical-hit the nearest guard with my sniper rifle. Cassidy, decked out in regular PA from the Brotherhood, mowed down the big boss himself with a Pancor Jackhammer. Sulik charged down the hall with a super sledge to meet the onslaught of poorly-armed Hubologists, and Goris followed suit. Myron ran away (the little wimp he is). While Goris and Sulik bashed their way through the hall of Hubologist acolytes (and the totally-not-real-celebrities), Cassidy and I finished off the guards on our side of the brawl before marching forward to aid our melee brethren. Once we defeated this sector of the base, we continued along, our combined strength dropping the pitiful guards like flies. I blew up the forcefields with some of the dynamite I had stashed on Goris (how does he carry it anyway), and proceeded to massacre the Hubologists standing outside. So I go back to Ken Lee, he gives me access to the computer, and I look at it for a while before leaving. And guess what? The goddamn Chinatowners still hate me. But they've got good merchants, so I'm not gonna fight.

To recap:

An advanced-power-armored tribal with an overdeveloped trigger finger.
A power-armored old man with a blood-splattering automatic shotgun.
A bone-nosed wacko in combat armor with some kind of pseudoscientific hammer.
An albino intelligent mutant lizard with a robe.
(A teenage asshole who did nothing to help)

Thank you for giving me a great strategy for killing Frank Horrigan. I never thought of that-he can't use his gun if his arm is crippled. Now I know where to Gauss Rifle him.

[Oliolli]

Have you ever crippled his arm before? If you do, he pulls out a blade the length of... your character. On the other arm.

Enjoy.

[SealyStar]

How many AP does Horrigan have? Unless it's some ungodly amount, I can just keep backing up and shooting at that arm until I get lucky.

[Oliolli]

I'm not sure. He can fire multiple bursts from his rapid-fire plasma gun per turn (at 6 AP each). He's got 10 in all of his SPECIAL stats. 45 armor class, ridiculous DT/DR, 999 health, and well, he does punch people's ribcages open, so even unarmed he can be dangerous. The knife uses up 3 AP, so he'll stab you about 6 times per turn. With the most powerful melee weapon in the game.

Assuming Bonus Rate of Fire (-1 AP from shooting), 10 Agility (10 base AP), two ranks of Action Boy (+1 AP/rank), and two ranks of Bonus Move (+2 free movement/rank), you can fire an aimed shot at him with a Gauss Rifle for 5 AP, and still move 11 hexes. Take some Jet and it grows.

[jester]

By memory I managed to cripple his arm and legs, but yeah.... that blade.... crits from the turrets on the walls is how ive killed him in the past.

[neotemplar]

Some of you may have seen my thread but I killed a human by whacking them in the face with a 14065L Emerald.  It hit them so hard they flew into a wall and were pasted.

Dwarf Fortress  (Mushroom Kingdom mod but that didn't matter for this)

[SirAaronIII]

Dungeon Fighter. I was running some Silver Night dungeons with my sister and then Hell mode turned on. Being complete idiots, we decided to take on the special boss.
6 really strong priest enemies came out and thrashed us pretty soundly with huge golden hammers. Worse yet, each one had a buff that negated physical damage, which meant trouble for us as we were both heavy physical hitters, now reduced to doing 0's. The priests killed us until my sister ran out of revives and I was on my last life.


Then I killed them all with much fleeing and quick cheap shots and finished the rest of the dungeon solo.

[miauw62]

Prototype.
The basic tactic to this game in general is just tanks.
Epic boss thats nearly undefeatable and you can barely get near it?
Hijack a tank, defeat the boss, simple as that.
Hold R1 , R2 and L2 (yes, i play it on the PS3.),  massive damage ensues.
Kind of dissapointing.

[Reudh]

Wha bam! Arched shot, not expecting it to hit anything.

Knock an archer out of his perch, kill a knight!

Aww yeah.

Well, I finally managed to beat Fallout New Vegas now.

Spoiler: Don't open if you plan on beating the main quest of New Vegas! (click to show/hide)

I decided to go with the NCR side of the quest, as well as trying to keep as many tribes alive as possible. Sadly, I decided to say fuck it at least half into it. I managed to keep alive the Boomers, Khans, and some others. However, I massacred the Brotherhood of Steel, blew up their base, mercilessly killed Mr.House with an explosive rifle, Made Primm a ghost town, made Goodsprings have heavy taxes and got some of them to move away, and finally, accidentally killed all of the Kings during my escape, when I tried to kill Pacer by planting a plasma grenade so the Van Graffs would be blamed.

Oh, and the part I regret the most? I let Benny live.

I opened though I'm planning on beating it again and again. Done it, like, six times by now.

-Mr. House has to be killed in all but his own questline
-Don't worry about Goodsprings and Primm, they'd have been worse off under Legion rule
-How did you manage to keep Benny alive? Hard as hell IMO.

I pulled up to a CEO's house with a gang of three escaped convicts, who were wearing clothes of the same fashion as the servants around. They managed to carefully and stealthily open the locked doors towards the delicious safe in there somewhere. I evaded detection by any of the servants or guards. However, I walked into a guard dog. It smelt straight through my disguise and started barking to alert the guards. I tried to convince it we were servants by scratching it behind the ears and whatnot, but it wouldn't have any of it.
Of course, the team leader pulled his concealed pistol and shot it in the body until it stopped moving. Still though, the dog had learned so much in its time with us that it learned to speak with its final breaths.
"Better dead than liberal"... okay, could have said something nicer but still.
