Philos, nothing wrong with using the turrets. Especially if you play rather diplomatic character. But IMO in ironman play the last fight should be hard and a bit dangerous. It has to provide excitment and stress, because you risk starting everything from begining.
IMO best way to meet with this...
So I finally made it. It took 1,5 year and "I don`t know how many" tries.
Objections:
no save/load
all party members must survive (Sulik, Cassidy, Marcus)
hard mode
final fight honest (without turrets)
no artificial leveling
Chosen build in lucky trial:
ST 5
PE 7
EN 8
CH 5
IN 7...
Last try
Third and last try
Objectives:
Kill Frank, keep alive Sulik and Cassidy, don`t use save
and load
only one exception from iron man possible: before zeta scan.
highest difficulty of game and fight
Marcus can die. I really don`t see the possibility to keep him alive whole...

RENO: I couldn`t get intelligence bonus in Cats Paw, so I had to use mentats before Salvatore quests. Luckily no addiction. I didn`t manage to steal...

I have always played with toughness. This time I have chosen 5%bonus in order to get bonus move (which is...
Second try report
This time Klamath and Den without problems. I have reached level 6 and chosen bonus move as second perk (swift learner as first).
In my opinion travel from Den to Vault city is one of the most dangerous paths of the game. These 2 extra points can decide about life and...
Uh, why? These things are less severe than death.
yes, but I don`t want my character to have lowered luck or charisma. It seems that SPECIAL stats are important for me.
Now report:
It will be really quick. After killing million of rats in Klamath, Sulik and I went to collect some car...
Hi
I`m going to play Fallout 2 without using save/load* and I will try to keep my companion alive whole game. I plan to travel with Sulik, Cassidy and this big and slow killing machine. Any death and I start from begining.
