[16:36:34] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: Oho, boy, do I have Fallout 2 stories for you...
[16:36:54] Heat: I'm listening.
[16:37:01] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: I'll start with the second.
[16:37:08] Heat: That makes it the first, though.
[16:37:16] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: Chronologically.
[16:37:52] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: So... the Enclave have an outpost on the mainland called Navarro.
[16:38:13] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: You may have heard of it from many, many characters in New Vegas.
[16:38:30] Heat: I don't recall hearing of it, but okay.
[16:39:07] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: They're only just getting this base set up, so new blood's turning up all the time, and their communication is, at this point, pretty poor.
[16:39:54] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: Thus, I was able to waltz right in and was merely reprimanded for not being in uniform, and supplied with a suit of enclave power armour and a plasma caster.
[16:40:55] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: I go back outside and give it to my ally, Cassidy, along with some more shotgun shells.
[16:41:04] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: Then we storm the place.
[16:42:11] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: Seeing as the place is still getting up and running, the entrance corridor's filled with troopers still wearing combat armour rather than power armour. In this area, only the base quartermaster and leader are actually armoured.
[16:43:36] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: We take out half of the combat-armour-wearing guards and the quartermaster comes at us. Cassidy blasts him in the back with a full-auto shotgun burst for most of his health in a very nice critical hit and I knock him out with a punch in the face, having decided against using my awesome energy weapon loot.
[16:46:10] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: Combat ends and the poor, stunned quartermaster gets back to his feet with like 7 health left of 200. My plasma caster usually does about 7-12 damage, but I decide to stick with my fists. In his confusion, he demands to know why I'm still not in the uniform I was supplied with and demands my identification. I reply "I've got your identification right here..."
I go into VATS and aim for the crotch, and down him with a critical hit that "bypasses his armour" and does 50-something damage.
[16:46:38] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: I just put my bare fist through the codpiece of a suit of power armour.
[16:46:41 | Edited 16:46:43] Heat: HAHAHAHAHA
[16:46:46] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: But it gets better.
[16:47:11] Heat: how much better can it get
[16:47:12] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: Then the commander comes at me and I'm thinking "I couldn't possibly do this again, could I?"
[16:47:17] Heat: you punched someone in the cock
[16:48:54] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: So after Cassidy does his thing with his mega shotgun, I go into VATS and line up two crotch punches. First one does a respectable 6 damage, seeing as anything that's not a critical doesn't even register damage on power armour. The text reads: "She takes it like a man. That is to say, it hurts."
[16:50:06] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: Second blow: 60+ damage "blowing through the target's armour for heavy damage."
"Her child-bearing days over, she crumples to the ground cupping her crotch"
"Base commander has died."
[16:51:00] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: I just punched ANOTHER goddamn hole in the codpiece of power armour and sterilised a woman with a PUNCH.
[16:51:21] Heat: you fucking
[16:52:46] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: I'm imagining these two super-soldiers in power armour with bleeding holes in their armour's groins and my character staring at her fist in shock like "what the hell did I DO!?"
[16:53:36] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: And that's when I found their captive intelligent Deathclaw, and that's when it REALLY went downhill for the Enclave.
[16:53:52] Heat: You sterilised two people.
[16:53:57] Heat: How much worse can it get?
[16:55:06] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: Like power-armoured super-shotgun guy, deathclaw and woman with the most dangerous punch in all of recorded history worse for them.
[16:55:48] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: Just... how did I do that!?
[16:57:04] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: Though I suppose if you can put your fist through power armour you can put your fist through ovaries.
[16:58:25] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: Imagine what must have been going through that other guard's head when she saw that.
[16:58:33] Heat: I don't want to.
[16:59:29] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: Oh, and the other thing?
[17:04:17] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: Found a society of antisocial, defensive punk rockers, artists, tech heads and other assorted people of similar interests who'd decided society in the wasteland was much too cruel, bigoted and greed-founded so they'd grouped together to form their own society, all labelled as "punks." Had a burping contest with one. They seem to be pretty silly and easily fooled at times - one got a little too into his betting and bet his spleen 'cause he was told he could live without it - he lost it.
[17:05:02] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: Immediately thought "Yep, I've found tumblr."
[17:05:16] WAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaqafhect: It sealed the deal that they were all in a ship.
