evilneko Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 The Firelance random encounter *only* occurs after you have completed 75% of the game Nope. It can happen for a fresh-out-of-the-vault character just as well as a started-purifier-demolished-Adams-AFB character. It's random. With a very low probability.

Alguien Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 The Firelance random encounter *only* occurs after you have completed 75% of the game, or that's what i've read. I do not know as i've not had the specific random encounter myself. I can guarantier thats false, as the event happen to me at the start of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmanners Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I typically have the encounter before level 8, although I once had it around level 18 or so one time. You can really tell when someone comments who hasn't really played the game that long (over 100 hours). :P As for those random explosions, I think some of them are grenades, but most of them are just indicators of fake combat going on at the cell edges. The moment some in-combat enemies enter the cell the engine decides the outcome in spite of whatever the circumstances are and blows up the losers. Thus, you can hear an inaccessible turret being killed by feral ghouls twenty feet below the damn thing (probably because the game decided that the ghouls were more powerful and thus theoretically were supposed to win the battle). Those computed outcomes obviously make more sense when wandering the wasteland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
