well, i've heard something about the pariah dog, that sometimes killing it will give you a permanent bonus on luck instead of decreasing it.
at least i heard so.
the funny thing is: i've played fallout 1 and 2 about three million times each, maybe more. and i encountered the pariah dog only one single time!

and hey, thisis my first post! ^^

Welcome to Abandonia then :)

i hope you're as crazy as leslie nielsen

The way I get rid of that ***** pariah dog was at the sierra base. At the third level, I think, there was an automated operation room where you could extract an organ (although it was harcoded to only extract the brain? I don't remember right now). I would wait until the dog wandered in the room, close the door and fire up the computer. The automatic procedure would kill the dog and I would walk out there with my luck restored.

Warning: Do not open the door to the operation room after you killed the dog. In my version, at least (I don't remember which version it is) the corpse of the dog would still follow you around (not as an undead, simply the corpse would be on the floor when a new map is loaded... I don't know the effects of this, because when it had happened to me, I reloaded the savegame).

Does anyone tried it?
