Bruce Lee in "Enter The Wasteland"

So I like to clear out my saves once I have too many to scroll through to find which of my many characters I want to play... and after too many close brushes with delete death, I finally deleted my main character.

All files gone, including the previous autosaves. I Thought I was deleting some older ones and didn't notice until I was done deleting and I was ready to pull out my main.

SO after reading Jikado's complaints about the lack of ammo (among other things) in the game, and Shadow's claims of suicide as an unarmed player, I decided to reroll my main as an unarmed/melee character.

He's an Asian male named, fittingly, Bruce Lee. And he looks a lot like him too.

After taking on about an hour's worth of Raiders, Dogs, Mole Rats, and Bloatflies, I can tell this will be a challenge... but not impossible. Definitely have to change my run-and-gun style.

While challenging, its also been hilarious so far. I've discovered, at least early on, that the Raiders say some VERY funny things when fighting close... but then I encountered  Raiders with Flamers, and it stopped being funny, because they just destroy me at close range. It forced me to rethink my approach and change my tactics.

At first I wanted to do everything without using ANY guns at all, but I think that's going to be impossible, at least starting out, because between the Flamers and getting swarmed by anything in the early levels you're as good as dead unless you get a decent set of armor first (and really there isn't any better than the Vault pieces at first).

So my plan, which I think is how Bruce Lee would do it anyway, is to just use any ballistic weapons that happen to fall during the course of a fight... but not carry any. I'll have to use my wit and guile to get close enough to start an unarmed fight and win.

It should be fun but man I hate how I got here.
