Unlike the vast majority of bugs this one is relatively easily fixed, however, since the script in question exists in a. they weren't based entirely on a fictitious narrative context at odds with Fallout's).Īlien Blaster nets you (at most) 222 kills (272 with scrounger) while YCS is unlimited (and superior to normal gauss in every way. Per Jorner has this to say about the HHG: 'How to find and use the Holy Hand Grenade part 2 The second hand grenade encounter was indeed supposed to be in the game, and only disabled by a bug in the encounter script. Same can go with the crashed UFO or Cafe of Broken Dreams, these were elements which existed in some ways outside of Fallout's gameplay paradigm but also oddly meshed (i.e. However, you (as the player) got to appreciate the encounter on multiple levels and this is why I enjoyed the occasional weirdness of Fallout 2. There is nothing in Fallout which precludes a weirdo from demanding silly questions to cross a bridge. Even without such rationales, the reference's humor didn't depend on a spurious context - it was an interesting encounter whether you knew Python or not (not merely background fluff which might not even have been noticed). For example, the Monty Python bridge keeper could easily have been a nutter who had found old tapes. Perhaps my memory is at odds with reality but the pop cultural references seemed more logically weaved into Fallout 2. The nuka grenade more or less fills the gap, its rare, and has the explosion of a mini nuke.

The Holy Hand grenade is a pretty sweet weapon, but its absent in fallout 4. The context just doesn't make sense - you're not on Tatooine and Luke obviously didn't stem from the Fallout wasteland. Sadly, I'm not in-tuned with modern nerdy pop culture enough to catch many of the references (my nerdy pop culture extends from the 60s-80s).Ĭlick to expand.Though the Star wars reference wouldn't have been lost on me I find that approach to humor at odds with what even Fallout 2 offered.

I'm not looking for spoilers but, from reading other posts around here and related forums, it seems the majority of the 'perks' relate to obtuse and obscure references relegated to window dressing (e.g.

Or, to say that again in a slightly more focused way: does Wild Wasteland actually add any interesting non-combat encounters like you could stumble across in Fallout 2 (which ranged from the useless, like the Python inspired bridge guardian and the T.A.R.D.I.S. Nevertheless, as I prepare to jump into the Wasteland for the first time, I was curious whether people felt it was worth giving up another, more character defining, trait? I'm still a little annoyed that Wild Wasteland was included as a trait and not merely a toggleable world setting like hardcore mode.
