Throughout the game, aimed hits to the eyes were very
effective for all sorts of things.

I'm not aware of any 'add-on', but the savegame files are
pretty easy to 'hack'. The statistics are stored right near your
character's name, so they aren't too hard to find and edit.

You can find some plated gloves in one of the gymnasiums iirc, or you are
too weak level up some more, choose appropriate perks.

Not that I know of...

Only program I know of which does that is a character editor.
You can find one here.

Well that depends..I managed to beat him without ANY training in unarmed
simply by pumping my character full of jet and buffout, and using the plated
gloves you can find below bishop's casino.
but it might have taken a reload or two...If you get reasonable chances to
hit, aim for the head.

I think someone managed that...never tried it myself, but try the doctor in
vault city.

> - Is there an addon available to modify my character?

just search for fallout on yahoo, you'll find a site with an editor
eventually.

Depends on your agility, my PC with AG= 8 hit once then walked away and
managed to win the match without being hit herself.

How did you get a female character into the ring? I run into male
chauvanism when I try...

An excellent cheat program for Fallout 2 can be located here:

Kudos to Khor Chin Heong for this and other fine apps.

Enjoy.

I defeated all of the boxers by aiming for the balls. You miss those
often, but on the first time you hit, they fall, miss a turn or something
and you win.

Still, there's no reason to let one's standards fall just because the
entire world has been destroyed in a nuclear holocaust, is there ?

I'd like to answer that, but I'm too busy pimping out my wife for
cash, and when I'm done with that, I've a porno flick to star in.
