blaster395 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 All I have seen so far is awesome stuff coming out from it. Is there any penalty in taking it at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haljjim Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I was browsing thru the game guide + discovered choosing it will gain u access to an alien blaster in a particular encounter, however u will lose access to a unique gauss rifle.

kopema1 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I took this trait, but by level 8 I still don't know what effect it had. I hadn't played the other way, so maybe I just don't know the difference. Can somebody give an example of the kind of thing you're supposed to see?

x0diak Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I took this one too. O well. I am seriously controlling my urge to min/max the stats in this first time around in the game. I am playing it on Hard/Hardcore, and i was expecting it to be difficult, but its not at all. Might crank it to Very Hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinyd00meyes Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I am seriously controlling my urge to min/max the stats in this first time around in the game. WHY? D:I already restarted my character after about 16h play for just that reason x3. I am playing it on Hard/Hardcore, and i was expecting it to be difficult, but its not at all. Might crank it to Very Hard. Doit. Then go chill by the blind deathclaw nest north of Camp Golf <3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneoftheWasteland Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Okay I took this Trait too and within 2 hours of gameplay I ran across 2 scenes I think are related to this perk. Spoiler ahead: First was some traveler walking around Goodsprings at midnight asked to help his girlfriend at a ridge by a broken radio tower, I said sure and had a rather rough go with a small swarm of geckos. Killed them and proceeded up this 'ridge'. I found 3 bear traps a fridge and a table and bed. Top corner hud has a crazee pipboy look with slight wacky music and I thought it for sure had to do with this perk. I raided the gear, no karma penalty, and proceeded back to this dude when I see HIM running to ME. He calls me out on killing the geckos for him so HE can raid that gear and we gunfight, I win, just barely. Second I find an open fridge on the floor as I'm heading back to Goodsprings and when I get to the fridge again wacky pipboy top left corner hud and wacky music. Inside the fridge is a corpse and a Suave gambler's hat which gives +1 Perception. If this is related then this Trait is well worth it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh that second one is a tribute to the newest Indiana Jones movie, where he escapes a nuclear blast by hiding in a fridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhNoChuck Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Yeah, I don't think there's an advantage or disadvantage, it's just if you want there to be humorous references in the game or not. I think it's a compromise between a lot of the developers from the first two Fallout games, which had a lot of humor, and the more serious tone of Fallout 3.

Kiahoga Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 the music you hear is what they used in weird 1950s sci fi films Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
