Fun fact: I was going to make the adventures through Worcester one "chapter", but after researching a bit on the city I had a change of plans and opted to break it up into two.
The clean shaven figure shifted on his heels as he half-looked behind him, and then turning. Facing the newcomer with eyes as cold as ice, knowing no emotion except calculation. Care an apathy mixed in a frightening manner aboard his clean-shaven white face, where though clearly middle-ages: bore few lines. Narrow eyebrows furrowed in a disdain as calculating as his eyes bounced between the man, and Sweet Gin.
Once again... I am completely freakin lost. I thought you two were heading to paradise falls to raze the place. :/
Instead I see romance for several pages, a bit of filler, torture one guy, brother found, main objective completely forgotten. If you aren't leveling the place, then I am doing it.
Also, you have got to give me time <.<. I do work after college classes. And have homework that takes several hours to do.
You defeated them o.o...
When? I didn't even see a post showing any form of resistance. Was there just that one guy there?
What's awkward is that I think they only tortured Eulogy or whoever, and then there was only one post of them shooting stuff and the light shipping which I can only presume happening in the midst of heavy weapon's fire. It's not nearly the most exciting fire-fight with a small army I've ever seen.
And it's possible for a small army to fight a militia. I guess this is especially true when you managed to tame a death claw. Then again... the death claw may not actually live for long. High threats like those, people tend to focus fire on and next thing you know, Death of a Thousand Cuts. They are hard to one person, but nothing to two (played the co-op mod for Fallout 3. The death claws are actually worthless when you have two players shooting it at the same time. Hardly counts for a mini boss now, and is more of a glorified glass cannon.)
Trumph cards like those don't do to well when sent out on their own against a bee swarm.
GOT in this context translates to "General Off Topic" and is the crown of this lower forum, and in all respects probably the main representing forum of this section.
And Deathclaws aren't nearly as much a pain in the ass as Albino Radscorpions. So if I remember Paradise Falls well enough, you'll get a concentration of fire from a armored up guy with a minigun, assault rifle fire, and probably one or two grenades which will likely clean the creature out fast enough to move on to the human targets, or switch to merely keeping suppressive fire on them to actually trying to kill them.
Huh... that picture you have, Falloutnuke. Isn't that Joel from last of us?
And yes... I always had more problems with the freaking scorpions than I did with the bipedal lizards that came from the dark corners of resident evil.
My problem... is like finding a Brown string in brown dirt....... WHERE IS IT!?
At least you can see the lizards from a mile away. At that range they are just Paper Rams waiting to get shot.
I break through the shaft directly above him, and keep my sword straight down as I fall, slicing his skull. "Thats what I can do" I smile at the four thugs. They try to run, but I shoot them down. I go outside.
They don't seem to hire underlings for intelligence now a days....

My issue with the scorpions was that I could pump in an endless stream of ordinance into them and only scratch them. Even on a maxed out character. As well, if I do cripple anything they're not going to slow down by much, or they're not going to be any weaker in the endurance.
Deathclaws I can at least cripple a lot easier than the Scorpions and I can leave them be, or finish them off with delightful head-shots.
The ease at which people traverse through seemingly insurmountable amounts of heavily armed and armored enemies, never ceases to amaze me. At least go into detail, Jesus.
Although I agree with you Hugz, not everyone takes time to put in detail to a subject, disappointing it may be, but some people just want to state their characters actions instead of in depth details revolving around how a large bulky man evaded several shots. The slavers eyes land on the barrel of the gun, it's black circular chamber led to the bullet that was propelled at the smash of the hammer. Fire erupts from the barrel as the bullet exits from the barrel. Soaring through the air, spiraling, faster than imaginable; it strikes the mans chest. Taken aback by the impact of the bullet, the man stumbles slightly, feeling the bullet enter & exit impossibly fast. Gripping at the entry wound, the man collapses to his knees, crimson blood cascading down his gripping hand. He coughs, groans, & grunts at the insurmountable pain that erupted around his chest, burning brighter than a torch.
While it's descriptive & paints a really good picture, some readers will get bored by it being overly detailed. Doesn't make them stupid, it means they have a different perspective of writing. While I personally prefer overly descriptive writing, others probably won't. To them, they wanna get to the point quick. Aiming at the man, Jack pulls the trigger, firing the bullet into the man's chest. He grips at it in pain, screaming in sheer agony as he collapses to his knees; blood pouring over his fingers. Yes it is lazy, yes it's under descriptive, but it's not like someone's gonna know what a bullet actually does to somebody wearing scrapped together armor, whether or not the bullet will go through clean or not, how their reaction will be. The best way to know is if they've experienced it for themselves or seen it.
No, you're just breeding laziness by being short. "I shot the guy and he died" is extremely vague. It tells us nothing, and ends up rolling through like an after action report instead of a story, so it ends up reading like this:
Friendly forces infiltrated the town at 0700, gunfight erupted shortly thereafter. BLUFOR units took two casualties while REDFOR took three confirmed fatalities and eight additional casualties. Mission objective was secured and extracted.
The Fires Of Eastern Europe still rage. Will you stop them, or will you burn Europe?

Easy as a ***** during a two-for-one special at the brothel.
The original objectives are still in play though.

That's paperwork. That's boring.
