I've got another question. With one of my other characters, becoming a Slaver was pretty easy, but then when I talked to Metzger, I had the option to join his guild. Is this guild a separate faction on it's own? If so, what are the benefits of joining it?

you get access to the raiders compound, therefore granting you the ability to take the 3rd level of Small gunsmith, and a workbench with advanced tools, which allows you to craft any small gun and any normal weapons ammo. The drawback is that you will be shot on sight in ncr, you will be unable to join any player faction, and that you will not be able to join any other faction at all.

I see, so by that logic, becoming a slaver by itself (without being a raider that is) doesn't use up the faction slot? Therefore I can be a slaver and a vault citizen or a slaver and a brotherhood of steel member?

Yes, slaver isn't a faction, it's like an ability, it doesn't affects faction slot.

Btw Slaver+BOS member=very bad, I think they'll burst you on sigh at bunker, but I'm not sure, so I don't think it's possible to be a slaver and an initiate of BOS at the same time.


And I totally have no idea what will happen, if you'll become BOS member first and then join slavers...

Thanks for the quick reply, I was worried it would prevent me from becoming a vault citizen.

[gordulan]

haha, would be hilarious if one guard bursts you and all theothers come running to kill the guard who killed you, would meke  for a whole load of fun.

Eventually you can join BoS after becoming a slaver... like a month later?

BoS bursting slavers on sight? Like NCR Ragners did before till thier FoV "bugged" (really fixed for guards), so now it's deactivated. Because with great NPC FoV NCR Rangers saw slavers on bazaar, ran throught all town from workbrench and then shoot poor guy. But BoS should still kill slavers on sight, probably.

I think I'm missing something (well, a lot, but also this in particular):

When engaged in unarmed combat, the AP cost of attacks fluctuates between base cost+1 aiming AP cost and base cost+1 aiming AP cost + 1 AP.

Meaning, strong punch, aimed, is supposed to (?) cost 4 AP points. Sometimes that's how much it takes, others 5 APs are detracted. The 5 AP cost sometimes shows in the weapon box as well, and if I cycle through attack modes, goes back to show 4 AP, but using it actually still costs 5.

I'm likely missing something, but a (admittedly, quick) search for any changes to unarmed combat didn't really produce anything answering this issue. Wiki doesn't mention any additional costs for attacks, either, so.

Thanks for actual answers 

[RavenousRat]

+1 AP for arms and legs.
+2 AP for groin, head and eyes.

AP showed in box refreshed each time you doing other aimed attack or chaning attack type.

[Sheepify]

Thanks Rat. I was completely omgwtfbbq about it.

I think a stickied thread with changes to the actual fallout system might help avoid people getting flaggerblasted about details like that, since as a new player you don't even know what to search for in the first place. Admittedly, I got a major case of ADD and missing the obvious, but I don't recall anywhere mention of this rather important fact.

In any case, appreciate the explanation.

Edit: So that's what the 2s after aiming locations are for. Bah.

Yes, I am slow, but I do get there! Unless my memory loss kicks in before, that is...

Le sigh.

Edit2, to save the virtual trees:

Are there any dangers to idling on the world map, as opposed to encounter/location areas? Also, is regeneration affected in any way while on world map (not traveling?)

Maybe, at some point, I'll know enough to survive out there

Does using a slaves/mercs to kill a town guard (or NPC faction member) cause me to lose reputation by proxy?

No.  but your still targeted since they mercs are yours.
