when i start out i go around killing things then i just die some how... i star out with a half-orge circus run away with 23 strength and 2 intellegence does that have anything to do with it?
It may be because of a critical failure. What level are you? Patched, right? Welcome aboard, Blackdot2345.
no i just got it from my friend so im sorta new i start out level one... and i havent downloaded any patches
Well, most level 1 characters are weak. http://arcanum.sierra.com/ That's the patch that you need to download. It fixes a bunch of problems.
I still think it's caused by critical failures. Run away with the Circus Half-Ogre with 23 Strength - that means that no points at all have been invested in Melee or Dodge. And with a damage bonus of 26, a critical failure will hurt. However, getting the patch is always a good idea.
