Well, every time I get some guy/girl's health down half way, or cripple them, they run away.

Is it supposed to happen?

Yea just like Deus Ex 1

They only run away if they're still alive...


:D

Yes, it's supposed to happen.




Generally, they run away, pop afew stimpaks and attack you again.

Shoot them in the legs first so they won't outrun you.

I've noticed that myself with melee only baddies that are alone. Like if I kill a couple Powder Gangers with guns and the one without is charging me and I cripple them, they will try and flee. I let one go and she too this REALLY wide loop and tried to come up behind me.

It's annoying, but it actually makes sense. If I had a pointy stick and the person I wanted to stick with said stick blew my knee of from 100 feet, I'd run away as well.

Didn't they do the same in Fallout 1/2? I seem to remember opponents running around corners, popping stimpacks/chems and returning to the fight.

I like it though, shoot them in the leg and the chase them with a melee weapon to conserve bullets. For once i actually have use of a melee weapon even as a gun character.

Well, it is pretty cool, more realistic than F3
