In Fallout 3, the head and torso can be crippled as well as arms and legs, though the Crippled Eye is gone, there is a similar effect with a crippled head. With both legs crippled, the player cannot move at all during combat. With one crippled leg, movement costs 4 Action Points per hex during combat. If both arms are crippled, only unarmed attacks can be used.Ī crippled leg prevents the player from running and severely lowers mobility during combat. If the arm crippled is the arm wielding a gun, the accuracy of the weapon will decrease significantly.
A crippled arm disables using two-handed weapons like hammers, rifles and big guns. Having arms crippled lowers hand-to-hand damage and accuracy with all weapons. Targets can be crippled by aiming for the body parts. In Fallout and Fallout 2, crippled limbs impact several aspects of the player character.
