At the beginning of Fallout 2

[Jschmuck2]

The two ants just killed me. I missed them with my spear 17 times.

Stupid old games. Stupid, fantastic old games.

 

[fallout man]

oh. don't worry, you'll be able to nuke (and I mean like, nuclear annihilation) those fucking ants in F3 within 15 minutes of leaving the vault. grass is always greener...

 

[Vehemence]

I remember those ants. Fuck those ants, seriously.

 

[TheVrolok]

Been there. Done that. God damn those ants.

 

[DefDC]

Those ants have cost them sales. I insisted that F2 was one of the best games every (and it is) and had friends play it. That stupid intro is so awful it drove many of them away...

 

[imported_protoz]

That intro wasn't that hard. Well, as long as your character has a high perception so you can at least hit them. The only time I've died in there was when I was too close to the explosives.

I vaguely remember reading that the ants were the publisher's idea. They insisted that some simple type of Training Level be added.

They are the most annoying thing about starting a new char... The ants, and trying to kill those goddamned silver geckos when you're barely level 3.

I remember being surrounded by six wanamingos. I was in the enclave armor. I just kept dropping plasma grenades at my feet, and they eventually died. I thought that was a little silly too.

The funniest part, I think in the entire game, was waiting the whole game to get the kama sutra perk, going back and having sex with that guy's wife, and laying in full armor on the bed afterward with her. I nearly fell out the chair.

Sorry. Not really about ants. Just fond memories.
