And that's how you beat Frank Horrigan.

This playthrough reminded me how much I disliked the punishing random encounters, one of the reasons why I A) didn't play Fallout 2 as much as Fallout and B) didn't enjoy Fallout 2 as much as Fallout. You can beeline the Advanced Power Armor and the car with high Outdoorsman and luck, but you'll still end up in encounters you cannot survive. Maybe. I've personally never increased Outdoorsman above 100%. Considering how much Traps didn't help me in the grand scheme of things, though, I would have been better off reducing my chances of getting skullfucked. Ah, well. Live and learn. May this series serve as a teaching tool for LethalFeline before he begins his stone-cold-get-fucked-punch-fest. Assuming he doesn't forget. You've been known to do that, my friend.

But when it's all said and done... know that you can make an unarmed character, emphasize Charisma over Luck, pick Bloody Mess over One Handed, tag Lockpick and almost never use it, refuse to beeline Navarro, skip several areas, fail to build the car, acquire hapless followers, set your skill points on fire, set your perks on fire, ignore using your companions in the final area, completely forget how the final area works... and still win Fallout 2 on Hard/Rough. You might rely a bit more on the save/load mechanics, but it's not like you're going to ironman Fallout 2, right?

Right?
