I was reading the post Little rant about courier's invincibility post and it got me thinking about something I have come across a couple of times and was wondering if any one else has had the issue issue.

I just did the simple quest Unfriendly Persuasion at Jacobstown. I was nice about things and talked to everyone and the Mercs went on their way without any gunfire. I then decided however to kill them to get their armor for my companion. I then found they were extremely difficult to kill. It took 3 shoots to the head with the A.M.R. to kill them which is more that a deathclaw!

I find it difficult to believe that these guys were hard as nails even with their metal armor and certainly not as strong as a deathclaw.

Has any one else found some people/creatures impossibly strong for no apparent reason? :cookie:

I'd think you'd have to be that strong just to take down a town like Jacobstown. :whistling:

Maybe you had the difficulty setting too high? :shrug:

Is there some part of the statement "Don't post Spoilers in the General Section that you don't get? :stare:

Moving this now...

Don't get how this fits in to spoilers bit, any how, I wasn't taking on Jacobstown I was taking on some Merc's that were outside!

Let me qoute your post so you can understand.





See the Spoiler in there? See how you talked about a method by which you can complete the quest?

this has happen. sure one can get lucky and take down a 50 pointer nasty with a critical shot. in that spaceship addon for FO3, i was doing well using the Microwave emitter against the aliens with the force shield. then it seem, it take twice as many shots. i think there were two or more groups with the same looks and names. which is misleading. i use different weapons based on nature of the nasty i am up against. so in short, don't always assume that because the nasties have the same name and looks that they have the same hit points and equipment.

My advice is to not play RPGs if this annoys you.
