Thanks for the info. :) I'll change some guns around.
BTW this is the first time that I play Fallout, and I'm absolutely loving it. It reminds me A LOT of Arcanum (which is understandable since Troika's devs worked on Fallout), and I consider that one of the best games ever made.
I don't have the "Use the best weapon" dialogue option like Ian when talking to her. So even though she has a desert eagle in her inventory, she always uses her bare hands in a fight.
And WTF is wrong with Ian? Why does he never reload, but instead pulls out a knife and forgets about the gun...
