Was wondering the same. What kind of sex crazed cult we could be putting into power if we help the militia???

The best kind?

Do melee weapons ever get good?

I'm having a difficult time fighting my way through the prison...

I had a 12 ap character having fun with a plasma hammer in the late game. 3 attacks with piercing 10 is nothing to sneeze at.

They get a lot better.

I have Takayuki with a combat machete and he tears them up. And my own character did a crit of like 200 with a rebar staff.

Hmm... I'm admitedly not very far in the game, but my blunt weapon weilding character is my most usless character in the group.

I'm not sure if it's the build I'm using or the character mix, but I'm having a real hard time progressing... I've got two characters using Assualt Rifles, my Blunt Weapon user, a Sniper Rifle/Energy Weapon guy and a Submachine gun. It's gotten easier since I discovered crouch and burst shot on the assualt rifles but I'm still not really progressing even on the second lowest difficulty setting.

At roughly the same point as Pacific, now, though I'm siding with the monks.

I'm slightly curious as to why most of the Diamondback militia carry dildos on their person.

If you have to ask, you'll never know...

Edit:
HtF did I not notice a second page? D'oh!

Anyway... finally got paid. Getting this tonight. In fact, might cut out of work early to do so.

Good luck with that.
Word of warning: Surgeon General recomends to play W2 in small doses as overexposure to W2 is known to cause "4am, WTH I thought midnight" and "Yes dear, just 5 more minutes before I join you in bed" syndrome with deadly consecuences.

I have a confession. I was making joke characters with some friends. We started by making a friend of ours in the game before, we then made a not-jesus for fun, then we created a hippie, and finally I created a nun. Is it wrong if, after playing it on the hardest difficulty till they died, I now want to restart and make a group of religious rangers with most of them being nuns?

I'm personally thinking either 1 priest and 3 nuns or 2 priests and 2 nuns. Give a nun a sniper gun and another a shot gun, one priest with a blunt weapon. Any recommendation for the last weapon?

If that's wrong, I don't ever want to be right.

Keep playing and you will see if that's wrong or not. (BTW I do think it's wrong but for game related reasons not real world)

Oh this makes me rather curious (granted I haven't gotten far enough to know whatever reasoning it might be. Just grabbed it for something silly)

To satisfy your curiosity.

Well, got to Hollywood with no problems...

But Hollywood/Bastion itself, multiple bugs that require reloading the zone, quest bugs repeating themselves... Reloaded multiple times even with this newest patch and still same bugs. May put this game down and try out Alien:Isolation or Evil Within, until its better.

Its not gamebreaking by any means and I would love to play to the end, but I'm trying to get as much done on this playthrough as possible and these bugs prevent that.

Is that before or after the patch from yesterday? That specifically mentioned addressing problems in the California areas.

Patch yesterday? will have to d/l it and start with a different group.

M.

Yeah, I just decided to start my second playthrough. I am going for more of a hardass, less diplomatic party. I am making all their ages slightly higher and having them be a group of mercs that decided that their lives needed to mean something, so they joined the Rangers. I will not be bringing Angela with me to make things more interesting.

So far I am rehashing my Jericho gunslinger character. I am trying a rather extreme build with him - 2 luck, 10 intelligence, and 4 charisma; with 3 handguns and 1 leadership. I will miss out on a lot of skill tests early on, but the idea is to level him and give him as many skills as possible to cover nearly everything. He will never be better than mediocre at combat. American Atheist who smokes Coffin Nails.

Sister Mercy - a mysterious figure, who hides her face behind a gas mask. Only Jericho has seen her without it. She scrupulously provides the last rites to everyone their group kills. (She is a member of a degenerate offshoot catholic death cult that was exterminated). 4 coordination, 2 luck, 8 awareness, 6 speed, 2 int. 3 Perception, 2 submachine guns, 1 bladed weapons. American Christian who smokes Bones.

Rampant Bear - Born to a small group of Lakota who fled the nuclear bombardment of the Dakotas, he was always wandering ruins and scavenging; never one for people. He and Jericho were captured by a band of cannibals; and managed to escape, killing most of them after Sister Mercy provided a distraction. 4 coordination, 2 luck, 4 awareness, 8 strength, 4 speed, 4 intelligence, 2 charisma. 1 animal whisperer, 2 weaponsmithing, 1 assault rifles, 1 blunt weapons. Native American Indigenous who smokes Red Roosters.

Agansing "Cutter" Rai - Member of a dwindling community of people claiming Nepalese descent, he and his sons joined the group working as caravan guards. After mutant raiders attacked their caravan - killing the rest of their group, including his sons - the survivors learned that the attack was set up by a business rival of the man they'd been hired to protect. An extended campaign of vengeance gained him the nickname "Cutter" and motivated Jericho to a change of heart about their paths. It was after this they decided to join the Rangers and make the world a better place.
-6 coordination, 2 luck, 4 awareness, 4 strength, 5 speed, 4 intelligence - 2 assault rifles, 2 bladed weapons, 1 sniper rifles, 1 medic. Indian Hindu who smokes Styx.
