Meaning that when you hit him in melee, first, 10 points get subtracted from that attack, second, it gets multiplied by the 0.4. Lieutenant has 10 DT / 60% DR to the physical damage.

Actually I think that's pretty normal for a FO1 playthrough, unless you're actually going for one of the top perks. I'll definitely try it on my next playthrough to become even more broken and overpowered.^^ Come to think of it, I don't think I got the highest available perks in FO1 either - for pretty much the same reasons as you (in that I never go out of my way for experience).

Strangely though, even after completing the game half a dozen times or so, I still don't want to disrupt the questing to obtain the high level perks. So I never felt the need to actively pursue the perks (in FO that is), because I already finished the game.

In FO2 you get Sniper and Slayer naturally, if you just play along the quest lines without proactively killing enemies to gain levels. What I wanted to say was, this perk wasn't implemented as fluently in the flow of the game as it was in FO2. I fucked up so bad taking toughness to 3rd level, what a waste of time.Īrdal: Oh well, I worded my post quite badly. The 2nd character focused on strength and took 1 perk in more criticals and even he could kill lieutenant. Even perception getting raised in beginning is more useful for a warrior as the lieutenant wont get 2 rounds when he first fights you or initiates combat.ĭoes anyone else have any observations with this? My 1st character specialized in luck and better criticals and he killed the lieutenant easily. Strength is useless for fighters as critical damage is much more important. Thats a load of damage thats not getting in. Its not that you don't deal enough damage but that your criticals suffer from 20% decrease when they do hit. I learned that if you don't have a critical chance of at least 11 or 12 and take heavy handed it makes your game impossible to complete for a warrior. I restarted 30 times just me fighting him one on one after I lured his guards away and killed them. I got all the way to the lieutenant and he is unkillable. So yeah I made a endurance fighter who had a high health and gave him the heavy handed trait.
