Playing Fallout 2 as an idiot

Post by J T »

This is just a story of what it's like if you play Fallout 2 without investing in any intelligence abilities. It's an entertaining read if you've never played the game this way.

Hmm is that link in the first comment written by who I think it is written by? There can't be too many people with that name on the internet can there?

Also that's a good read Jt I think I'm going to roll no intelligence characters for awhile. Being smart in video games sometimes just isn't worth it.

I'm surprised the writer got as far as he did.

It seems like the real issue was that he went for a melee playthrough. I wonder how he would have done with an idiot gunslinger.

I was wondering the same thing.

Is this our Breetai? I must know!

Breetai is a primary antagonist in Robotech. That's about one of about 3 anime trivia questions I could actually answer. The name can't be that uncommon.
