I as a casual gamer would like to ask a question to the community..
Is there any way to play this game from the scratch with a single pure combat char. (i mean a char with 1 charisma)?
as far as i know we can't talk to NPCs with a low chr character. That means no trade no money...
i don't want to bother creating and training multiple chars and have them supply my main which is waaay time consuming.
what do you suggest?
-
Some traders do talk and trade with 1 charisma chars. There are quite a few around in the wasteland, Gecko, Reno, Boneyard.
Also, for player trades no charisma is really needed, just common sense.
-
thanks for the reply.
i will start from the beginning. so you mean that i can hunt and sell the loots to NPCs are in mentioned locations to make money without any crafting skill?
-
Yes. Check out this link to see which charisma the different traders will accept, and what they pay top caps for.

Just so you know: if you're playing a pure combat bigguns, your only option is Eldridge in New Reno...
-
Join a faction. Or trade with players. Only had one character during last wipe (with 1 charisma also) i never crafted and had all i needed. Some players dont pvp and do like to craft and play merchants, i suggest you make one of them your friend, you protect him and he provide your gear...
-
Completely possible. You can hunt encounters and sell to merchants.
-
or work as a merchenary
-
combat character can have 3 charisma also, in events i fight with 9 charisma characters, and kill also.
-
There is a perk that adds +2 charisma when talking to traders.I don't remember the name.

Thanks for all the hints and such ..BUT trading and hunting around unsecure pvp areas like gecro , reno doesn't look a good idea (at least @LVL1)
It was even pain in the ass to lvl up my char and make money in guarded areas although i had support char but i was playing solo which was not a good idea IMO.
I think everyone should be part of a player faction and socialize with other players. otherwise FO becomes unplayable for most of us.. i guess
i will try to find a friendly faction after i lvl up for a little.

nah this game can be perfectly played solo. You should not hunt and trade in not secured towns in the first place. Hunt in encounters, and trade in safe towns.
-
And don't stay in Guarded towns like NCR Junktown, and Hub for longer than like 2 mins cause all your stuff will be stolen from you if you sit still, oh and watch out for shop shooters in banks, and any trader building. As a pure combat character expect also to not use the banks, cause caps go in, they don't come out, which means you will need a tent somewhere near where you can trade to get guns.
-
caps go in, they don't come out ? what do you mean by that? i can withdraw or deposit my money w/o any problem =)
-
Trokanis is remarking that big gangs probably have a lot of money left in the banks and could essentially withdraw your money because the interest they gained throughout the session was basically magic money that never existed. Currently interest rates are zero so most people dont use em anymore so it would be wise to keep the money in your tent/ safe haven.
-
Yes basically depending on how lucky you are in real life, I have been in the banks where you could not withdraw even 10 caps, and at most have been able to maybe get 1,000 caps. There maybe times when you can get more, but I would not risk it if you're just starting out.
-
aah i got it..Thanks. Luckly , i was able to withdraw all my money from the bank. i had more than 2k.
i am sorry guys but i already gave up playing with 1 pvp char. and created a crafter alt. it near impossible to play this game without a crafter , although i know server wipe is near! =)
lets just play it for fun.
Great game so far , deserve to be one of the best standalone MMORPG , not just a MOD. I would pay 2 play , really. Just provide us some other payment options. Most of us don't use Paypal , and never will..

It's not a mod for anything, it's a standalone game made on the FOnline engine...
-
Whatever. =)
I thought that Fonline was just a complex FA modification coded by some clever programmers(they are..)
Too bad the server population is even lower than some stupid chinese mmorpg's private servers!(I never played on private servers. i just know it) , too bad they can't advertise their hardwork due to copyright issues. It is too weird that they ask you to donate just to pay server expenses? How do they make money anyway? I also don't think that even %10 of this community would be donating ... I hope that Fonline will stay with us for long time...
