Fallout 2 quick question.

[uss]

If I have the Unarmed skill at 150%, I can hit anything in the eyes with a 95% chance. How would increasing above that help me? I guess I could score more criticals then, but when I get the Slayer perk, it doesn't change a thing whether the skill is at 200% or 300%, does it?

The 95% to hit is as best as you can get in Fallout 1/2, IIRC. The 5% failure is for events that are classified as "shit happens". [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Not sure about The Slayer Perk. I am more of a "sniper" and "bonus range damage" person.

If you have more % you are going to do more damage.

Are you sure you can hit anything? There may be tougher enemies that you'll face later on.

edit - Without knowing where you are in the game, I'm assuming that there are tougher enemies coming your way later.

I'm not sure how likely I'd hit the Enclavers or Aliens, but I think that with my current 144%, I'd have an at least 75% chance on the eyes.

I'm thinking whether my points would be better invested into something else? [img]smile.gif[/img]

I will try to explain this as easy as possible, first of all with higher % the dmg will increase, second of all different enemies have different resistance/armor class to melee attacks, so it means that with 300% in melee you have 95% to hit any opponent regardless of his/hers/its armor class.

Hmm, guess that means that any points into Unarmed are well-invested after all. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks!

300% in Unarmed is OVERKILL, especially if you intend to take the Slayer perk. There are so many other skills that you will want to level up as well.

150-152% will more than suffice for the entire game. I personally stop at 125-127%.

I really don't think I need any other skills. I have I think 178% in Unarmed now and 60%-100% in Doctor, Science, Repair, Pick Locks, Steal and Outdoors, and I think that that's about all I need. I have Intelligence 9 and Gifted, which gives me a total of 18 points per lvl-up and I read every book I find(Despite high numbers in the skills, I haven't put a point into Science, Repair and Outdoors).
