rolled mall cop a few times still died right off the bat, but in this current world I finally killed off the main group of zombies following me by kiting them and whipping the fuck out of them with a bull whip, it's amazing.

Call me a pussy but I added the mod where zombies move at half speed when I roll with Mall Cop, but most of the time I get Fast Learner, Night Vision, Parkour, Deft and Fleet Footed to out run zombies so I can reload muh guns. Bad traits I get Addictive Personality, Hates Vegetables, Heavy Sleeper, Poor Hearing, Weak Stomach, Strong Scent. I'd get Truth teller and ugly but my own godly code of Alpha Males prevents me to make a character who's beta AND looks ugly. Toss 3 stats into dodge, 2 unarm, a little in tailoring, computers, melee and fire arms. Works out fine until I run out of ammo in the middle of a crowd or a god dam skeleton attacks me and I dont feel like dropping all of my shit. 10 STR, DEX, PER, and INT stays the same. If I really want that extra point I get Animal Discord, maybe Insomniac, and Slow Reader.
To be robust is not about combat prowess, it is the state of readiness for the situation at hand.

Why Deft, why not Quick?

Also, personally, I'd leave Dex and boost Int, but that's because my character is a nerd.

Nerds are badass in this game. If you can clear a library and have enough food to sustain you while you study you can boost your skills to godly levels and learn damn near every recipe in the game. The only obstacle is that a lot of the high level books decrease happiness, so you need some sort of vice to boost it up.

Isn't there some mystical item called an MP3 player which turns batteries into joy?

Also, yeah, that shotgun was robust. Double-barrel caseless, 141 damage was the highest I rolled. Didn't attract much in the way of zeds, I got to boost First Aid to 2 by reading and boarded up the house.

Right now I'm bookworming it. Sci-fi all-nighter, just like in real life!
Still a shame the Shocker Brute only had burnt-outs inside of him. I was so looking forward to the ability to go Bionic Commando on the zeds ._.

Ahem, anyway. I've heard rumours of the One True Tileset, if so, which is it?

And even if they weren't, after playing with ASCII for any length of time using a tileset is confusing as fuck.

I think one of the big issues with tilesets is that they do not have seperate tiles for each of the game's huge variety of enemies, so it can be hard to differentiate at a glance. My biggest problem is that enemies in tilesets blend with the background, so i will run past a skellyton and take a ton of damage because i did not notice him

Red-green mostly. It does come into play a bit with the standard set, but at least then I can see that there's actually a zombie there. I just have to sometimes check if it's a normal one or a special through the sidebar before I try to fight it head-on. That mix-up has killed me more than once.

Tilesets are fucking garbage for this because there's a billion items and monsters.

You're going to see so many "no smoking" symbols or whatever running around all the time anyway, why bother?

ASCII or bust.

Man, I remember once when I had it made in this game. I'd gotten into a science lab early on and had raided a library, holing up in one of the dorms on the surface level of the lab and just learning how to make more and more complicated stuff, occasionally darting down below into the unknowable, freezing-cold blackness to scavenge for more high-tech shit to cram into myself. Between the terrifying mystery of what lurked down those stairs and the nightmares my character kept having as his addiction to augmentations and mutations grew stronger, it was a weirdly horrifying and tense situation, but damn was it satisfying.

Bionic/mutant runs are fun, but with the right set of bionics and mutations the game becomes a bit too easy pretty fast. Recently did a police detective purist run and man is it a pain in the ass

Eskrima. Pentjak doesn't seem to have as much defensive capability.

I thought defense mostly consisted of "trying to dodge" and "running like hell".

Eskrima has a block, I believe, which Silat doesn't (at least not as early as Eskrima). If you really want hand-to-hand defense, though, karate seems to be the way to go.

I figure when I have to pistol whip those god dam skeletons Deft is useful when I have to get in melee. Either way I found a glorious AK and managed to come across a few mods for it.

Jesus fuck I started playing again tonight and God I am buttmad

My second character, who I started about five minutes in, opened the door from the shelter. There was a possum outside. The NPC in the shelter shot at it with what must've been a Goddamn anti-tank rifle, hit ME, and did 99 points of damage to my torso. I died instantly.

I have literally found a suppressor maybe once, and i play this game a whole shitload. Also Rivtech guns are a pain because they all fire really rare ammo, and it is caseless so you cannot reload your own rounds.

Fun fact of the day, rivers can have goddamn ZOMBIE MOTHERFUCKING SHARKS IN THEM. I found this out when one decided to take a massive bite out of my inflatable boat. If i did not have my trusty mossberg i would have been right fucked. As a side note boating is pretty much impossible without Lizard Infrared vision, as you can somehow break your inflatable boat by paddling it into submerged bass that you are usually not even able to see.

Dunno, i suppose they are still warmer than the surrounding water. Also cold blooded doesn't mean you are actually cold, just that you cannot regulate your own body temperature.

I know as much...
Which, I suppose, means your body temperature is determined by your environment - making it roughly equal, and therefore hard to pick up for IR.

As for power armour: Check if you can activate it in-inventory. If that fails, I'll roll up a test character, spawn some in, and tell you.

Check for the following:
UPS loaded?
Power Armor components worn?

If so, select the main power armor and (a)ctivate it. It should say "Your power armor engages." in the output sidebar.

Has a bunch of inbuilt functions, protects you from all enviromental biz, makes you stronger, makes you really hard to hurt. What you would expect, really. I always imagined it looking like the power armor from the first two fallout games
