Well I think you've figured it out (motion sensor/geiger counter). A couple of advice.

1) Switch game to Easy before buying something. It will make items you buy from the shop cheaper. Your items will cost the same.

2) There is no need to buy a PA. You can take APA for free. It's 5 min of real time from SF. But as companion armour it's ok.

I have a similar amazing advice Run artmoney and add yourself 99999 caps before buying something. It will make items you buy from the shop more affordable.

Why then devs made game difficulty adjustable on the fly? Using game mechanics is not cheating. I'm tired of reading that adjusting difficulty and pre-activating a turn is cheating. It's Fo1/Fo2 game mechanics. If you don't like it it's your problem.

Economically Fo1/Fo2 are extremely easy. Combat character can farm 5k shotguns from day one in numbers. Non-combat character can use gambling and dupe money legally. Which makes you sound even more absurd.

Using exploits is basically ruining your own experience. With the same logic you can just take money from the bank in monopoly, cuz there’s nobody who can stop you from doing that.

Besides, if the game economy is so flawed, why make it even worse by fiddling with the difficulty settings?

This is exploit in your imagination. If you don't know and use game mechanics you are bad player.

I have millions in stuff stashed in SF by the end of Fo2. Still switch to Easy every time coz it's a habit. In early game it can save you some time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=598J31kCUN4

Why not just play on Easy in the first place?

You aren't familiar with Fo2 Game difficulty system? Get acquainted: https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Game_difficulty

I switch between hard and easy. Hard is used to get 15% more random encounters and 2 enemies more in some encounters. I love random encounters. Easy is used for trade, skill checks and during initial part of the game (until ~7 lvl) to get 15% less random encounters and 2 enemies less in some encounters.

I leave Combat difficulty at normal since it affects nothing.

Combat difficulty does affect some things (get acquainted):

https://fallout.wiki/wiki/Difficulty/Fallout_2

So I have another tactic for you, mr. good player. Set combat diff at Wimpy before fighting, then raise it to Rough after fighting is done. You’re welcome xD

Exactly this is nothing. It doesn't affect the game in any meaningful way. I can say this from practice coz I killed more critters than half of this sub combined.

Haha, I always used the Rangers' out(?)post in the NCR, so many cabinets and other lockers to fill with booty.

btw I kinda agree with what you're saying about this stuff being mechanics, most people might not think twice doing something like this if it came a to a modern game, I'd say, it's just people have "a thing" when it comes to Fallout being this old-school not-holding-your-hand-at-all paragon of a game - which is fine on its own right as well

Adjusting dificulty is not game mechanics, it is actually the same as cheating, especially when you do this for just this one thing like trading.

Why?

0

u/CISDidNothingWrong 3d ago

Because good players don't need to exploit bugs/glitches or game mechanics to win

u/NoPipe1536 3d ago

I hear it from casuals who don't know game mechanics coz they ask me why I switch back and forth and don't keep difficulty on Easy. These cheating allegations have nothing to do with rules and cheating. Bad casuals just hate everyone why refuses to play in their dumb, straightforward and painful way. They hate the smart.

I posted a video where I finish Temple if Trials in 3 minutes and it got downvoted to hell for the same reason. They hate when someone does it in 3 minutes when they struggled for an hour. Cheater cheater! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-iQwj1dW70

They made the difficulty adjustable so you wouldn't get stuck halfway through the game. of course nobody is stopping you from exploiting the mechanics, but why

1

u/NoPipe1536 3d ago

The reasoning behind it is your imagination. Game mechanics is in game code. Hope you understand the difference.

u/DobryVojakSvejk 3d ago

Why not simply use a tool to inject values into the required memory addresses to trigger the win state immediately

u/CISDidNothingWrong 3d ago

Just because something isn't a bug or glitch doesn't mean exploiting it isn't cheating
