Nice tactics...

(1/2) > >>

Sheepify:
Guy tries to steal from me in town. Several times. Course, I can't do anything despite KNOWING he's doing just that (because what else is somebody doing running up to you when you're at a store and facing you?).

Finally, he fails. I pull a gun, but because I cannot initiate turn-based combat, and certainly not pull up the aimed shot screen, it's a game of cat and mouse.

I go toward the exit, wait there. He appears, gets hit once. Walks up to a guard, then starts jerk-moving back and forth.

Course, despite that my targeting reticule seemed to be on him, when I shoot it turns out to be at the guard instead.

Immediate -150 reputation with somebody, loss of about 16 hours worth of equipment (early level with no handouts). The kicker? He didn't get killed for looting my corpse, either, despite the fact that it was the guards that killed me.

So, yes. That works. Guess now I should simply accept the fact that I cannot defend even against stealing attempts I do spot.

What fun.

Michaelh139:
Indeed.

JeDDyD:
I dont know wether or not you had a tent to unload your stuff but if you did you really should have unloaded your equipment before even attempting to shoot someone in a guarded town (sometimes the AI is unpredictable!).

Thieves are the scum of the wastes & NCR is full of the fuckers, it gets annoying when you want to Trade/Craft and you have all these thieves waiting around for their chance to strike. Its easy to see why you wanted to shoot the bastard!

Sheepify:
Actually, I wanted to shoot him because before he failed steal attempt he already took all my caps and healing powder. Which actually was a lot of work for me to get. Also, I did not realize you could actually force somebody to shoot a guard like that.

Guess it's a price of lesson in game mechanics abuse.

*Shrug*

Swinglinered:
I wish the NCR thieves would rob me.

They are welcome to take my inventory into theirs.
