Why powerbuilds + alts are so popular?

<< < (3/17) > >>

Solar:
Aye, I don't have time to make supporting alts, so each char automatically has to be able to provide for his or her self. Its really not hard to achieve.

Only real problem I have is trying to make Ch char that can still do everything without alts, or building an intentionally bad char and still competing (for example 10 En 5 Int sneak tagged).

Shangalar:
If you mean leader of men (about 9 charisma + magnetic P) and not just 3 cha for quests and comfort, the only weapon type to be competitve is big guns, mainly rocket launcher, with low agility and luck. I never managed to make a good leader with energy or SG so far.

About crafter char, I got one who is sg crafter lvl3, good thief, good barter, got 150 outdoor, can carry lot of stuff (even if it's not so much needed since last update), and can fight using pancor and mercenaries. It's not worth a pure pvp char of course, but it just means that you can play and be auto sufficent with 1 or 2 characters only.

That's why i am trying, not to show it's impossible but because i was unaware you should have 200% of something to make a basic action with this skill.
lv9 he is not so bad to me and exept from PVP situation i manage a bit the game, in fact right know if you exept PKs who kill it in one hit, and thief i can't do anything, it dont run that bad.

Ok there are some silly things, i can't repair my stuff which is a pain, and they deteriorate quit fast. I have taken packrate cause of what you said, can't carry 5 radscorpion tails at a time, it's kind of a pitty, it's more weight than iron ore ...

The fact to me now is not that you can't play, but basicaly you can't go out of guarded cities, cause the wastelands are finally quite sure untill you see another player, cause they are mainly quite stupid and have nothing more to do than shooting blue suits or attacking traders cause it's fun. (got it again yesterday after i FA one ...)

i think here what should be considerer is that you absolutly need 200 in each skill to do something, that is really a nonsense, you should be able to repair 10mm pistols on every attempt with 100% and maybe 120 for deagle (20% harder cause it's on tier up).

Drakonis - your char will die like 100 times while travelling from NCR to Vault City. 30% Outdoorsman don't let you avoid even scorpions.


2 lvl Small Guns, 2 lvl Armorer, 4-person taxi (fast) with large trunk (101 carry weight), P90/Combat Shotgun user, can repair some guns.
Anything wrong with that? Yeah, sucks completely in PvP and with 1 LK he sometimes falls down in combat. Also I've made a mistake tagging FA - I should pick Repair instead.

Why people are using alts? Dunno, I had one only once before the wipe to repair stuff. But I think if you want to be "the best" (whatever that means) you need 3 lvl Small/Big/Energy Guns crafter, 3 lvl Armorer crafter, a taxi/barter char, rock-digger. You simply can't do it with one char, no matter how hard you will try.

RavenousRat:


I'm a crafter too ;p
The only bad thing is <200 HP and can't Doc+FA, that's why I'm not PvP-build.
Alting is boring and isn't neccesary, because you can communicate with other people/buy from NPC, and crafting EVERYTHING is really more boring, than buying, you can easy play without alts and do some PvP and crafting at the same time with only one character.

About outdoorsman, you don't need this skill anymore, till someone nerf sneak again, or alteast make impossible to go into sneak mode at Wroldmap, and automatically leave sneak mode at exit grid, so you can't be invisible instantly at encounter. Because you can tag Sneak instead of Outdoorsman and easily walk with 20% outdoorsman don't caring about anything. Noone will see you, so... what's a problem?
