You mean with punch Brahmin and FA? :pI am lvl 2 now, nearly level 3. Didn't cheated and no, I am not playing with "Lexx" character. Also I have some positive reputation already in a few towns, which is cool. \oAlso I didn't fired a gun yet. Only used my hammer to fight, if needed.
If you want to make enemies, try to change something.
Where can i find high iron ore and mineral?
Needless to say the FA thing is totally screwed. Not because people can't cheat in TB, but because it's total nerf of the skill. It has heavy impact on gameplay if your ass isn't full of superstims. I hope the way of obtaining materials for superstims is easier now, at least easier to obtain meat (if needed in new recipe ofc).
