Another Interlude

Hey sorry this isnt a chapter. I just figured I would answer some questions that others brought up since I didn't do a great job at explaining them I guess. I apologize, I am still trying to improve my writing.

So as far the stats go since some were confused, I'll clarify how they work.

The system I created for this story blends aspects from multiple Fallout games and traditional systems seen in fiction. The stats given by the system do not reflect the actual stats a person has but is additional to the persons baseline stat.

The stat increases are not actually that much. We could say each point of strength adds 10lbs to a person's arm and leg strength but that doesnt mean with 1 Strength they can only lift 10lbs.

20 strength added with the system, an adult would be pretty strong but that doesnt mean they have Hulk level strength.

He may be super human to some degree but it isnt overly exaggerated. This is why normal people and creatures are still dangerous to the MC. He is stronger and faster in most cases than other humans but he isnt a walking demi god. He just has an edge others dont.

When fighting against Lady, he was on the back foot during thier initial encounter and she has years of fighting experience. He only has a few battles and relied more on stealth so he took a little bit of a beating.

He would easily overpowered her if both were unskilled. Combat isnt determined just by stats alone though.

Perks also play a huge role in combat and he hasn't take that many offensive perks yet. At this point Rank 2 of Gunslinger is the only perk he has that made him more deadly with a gun. The rest of the perks he took were focused towards defense, evasion, regeneration and technical skills.

Later, when he takes perks like Master Gunslinger, Gun Fu, Brawler, Ninja, and more, then he will be far better at combat.

All of this was my effort to keep MC from becoming an overpowered superman at level 30. Also please remember this is still the start of the story. We havnt even gotten to storyline of Fallout 1 yet.

I know everyone is used to overpowered MC that solve every problem with a snap of thier fingers but this ain't that kind of story. MC is gonna struggle in many situations.

There will be times he is bloody and broken but still stands back up and moves forward.

If you were hoping for a power fantasy where everything goes right for him, where every woman throws themselves at his cock and every battle is decided by a single bullet then this ain't the story for you.

Also romance hasn't been decided yet. Savannah is a love interest but not a definite partner yet. Same will go for Lady. Even if MC has some casual encounters with a woman it wont mean they will stay together forever or that she is his woman.

Getting permanent Lover/ s will happen naturally. I wont be writing MC getting a harem of brain dead wives. If it happens it will be properly developed relationships.

That's all for now. Much love to everyone reading. I hope this cleared some things up.
