What about the killbot at the bottom of the stairs? I remember that one reaming me pretty bad, but then again I wasn't expecting it.

Bah! Spoil the surprise, will ya?

IIRC you can afford 7 at the start, get a perk to give you an extra follower, and a stat upgrade to get the fifth.

I've never liked Marcus due to his inability to wear armor. My power-armored colleagues went down fast enough as it is.*shrugs*

Yeah, he's way too vulnerable, and refuses to stay back. Skynet is more careful, and tougher. High Science is useful in a few other places as well, if not mandatory.

I can kill wanamingos with two or three shots. In fact, with my current weapons, that's about the only thing that does any appreciable god damn damage to the things.

You've got to be standing right next to them, but then you might as well eye-shot them. Still, even a SMG can do some nasty damage with a crit on burst.

Sulik is good in the beginning with his SMG skills, but in the endgame he becomes less useful. His best weapon is the G11E...which really isn't so good when the other guys have gauss, pulse and plasma guns.

The best party in late-game is just you. The other party members become too much of a liability. They're stupid, they're weak, and chances are that you'll be able to kill 2/3rds of the enemy with your sniper rifle, gauss rifle, or Red Ryder LE BB gun before they pose any sort of threat. Hell, in late-game, all you've got to worry about is a couple lucky shots from an Enclave patrol, or some really bad combat management against Hubologists or Press Gangs.
By the time I get power armor, I just leave all my former party members back in SanFran. You really don't want Vic bursting a G11E through you and two other party members.

I found once on DLH.net a cheat save : in the abandoned gun shop in Trapper town (Klamath) you get 2 of each item, tons of ammo and the Fallout manual that get's you ~20.000 xp for each time you read it.

You can pick up that manual after you beat the game, from the drunk preacher guy in...er, can't remember the city, exactly.
Item: Fallout 2 Hint Guide. Description: "Well, this would've been useful at the beginning of the goddamn game!" Use: 20,000 exp, all skills to 300%

I had a bunch of screenshots of interesting stuff in the game, but I seem to have misplaced them.

Fortunately, this extra toe can be surgically removed if it presents a problem to your character.

I've read somewhere the tales of a player that made his character eat the amputated toe

It's also helpful during the endgame fight
