8) how are some of you all doing with FWE and MMM while playing a sneaking type person? weight limit (not went to 5.0 yet) was rather limited even with 9-STR and power armor.
Well I also use Antistars Dragonskin Tactical Outfit, along with my own patch. I opened it up with FWE in the GECK and pumped up the DR so that it's just below Power Armor but above ever other armor in the game. It worked out pretty good, but I haven't tested it for FWE 5 because I started a new character and it'll be awhile before I can even afford the DTO.
Story time:
I grabbed Version 5 right away, but I couldn't resist the urge to take a quick peek under the hood before firing it up. Well that quick peek ended up taking 2 days and I didn't actually start playing until late last night. I started a new game and chose the Regulator Alt Start. (because in the beginning a raiders finger is worth more to me than their gear.) Armed with a combat knife I decided to checkout the nearby raider-infested armory. I tangled with the guard a bit but did not attract attention, I then snuck into the compound. I managed to get to the ruined building and was attempting to sneak along it's base when it occurred to me that I should have waited until nightfall, then I was spotted. (Bad Day!) I went to some nearby stairs where I ran into a few raiders that I quickly (very quickly) dispatched with my knife. I turned and saw an increased-spawns-sized hoard coming at me all armed for close quarters combat from my own Savage Wasteland. (You'd think taking away their guns would make the fight easier) The swarmed me, I hit one and ran up the stairs, hit another and ran some more. (Bad Day! Bad Day! Bad Day!) I tried to back-peddle and attack at the same time but that doesn't work. (FWE saw to that) So I ran and jumped off the edge of the structure (OUCH!!) which gave me enough breathing room to get up on an old truck and regain my AP. Now I was in trouble, they couldn't get up to me, (someone really should fix that) but I also couldn't get down to them either. I was thinking about my next move when I heard the distinctive pop pop pop of a 10MM pistol.(so they
weren't all melee
) I went into VATS and got a good look one by one by one by one by one? until I found the shooter (time to find out what all the hype was about this EVE.) I switch to my laser pistol and queue up 2 shots to Mr. Shooters chest and 1 to his head. (Wow!! There's actually a black and smoking hole in the guy!!) He's down but another runs over to pickup the dropped pistol, (zap zap) then another, (zap) and another.. I quickly realize that I'm going to use up all my ammo trying to keep them away from that gun. Then I see a raider
not going for the gun, because she has a
DEATHCLAW GAUNTLET!! (why oh why did I give them access to deathclaw gauntlets) Okay, here's my chance to try out this Bullet Time feature I've heard so much about. Slo-Mo jump off the truck, headshot to Ms. Deathclaw, loot the body, turn and grab the loose pistol set my sights on the guy I hope has the ammo when bullet time runs out and I run right past him. No time to go back they are still coming!! I back up on a fallen pillar letting them bring themselves to my newly acquired toy. (that would be the deathclaw gauntlet :rock:) They are bottle necked at the base of the pillar/ramp, (I may just live through this) I go into VATS to get a quick count because I don't know how long I can do my Run-Turn-Swipe-Run maneuver when I see one winding up to throw a... Molotov Cocktail!!? Quick weapon switch to shoot the Molotov (That worked out well) and I'm on the defensive again, though there are considerably less raiders than before. I'm able to bring 2 more down before hopping down through the floor to a lower level. It'll take them a few minutes to figure out where I went and how to get down to me. I'll take this chance to leave and head back to the Regulator Hideout, I need to rest and heal before I come back for the rest.
