So I'm playing a lone wolf run, which means no teammates, and my muscle is 1, since I'm with the pre-defined White Wing attributes. I can't access the vent on the side because I'm not blue wing nor have muscle 3. Is that it for this character? No entry at all?

EDIT: Got it, Fatty Food Effect grants you +1 muscle and alcohol grants you another +2, so to any base interactions that might be needed such a value, here's how.

Your next lone wolf characters will need better base stats. Idk if it was fixed but the skill to remove drug addiction still dont work and waiting/sleeping dont seem to fix it either. I heavily suggest lone wolves with self-improvement + renaissance man because it will cover most stat checks without a need for external dangerous stat buff items like drugs, granted it will take a while to get those 2 perks together (lvl 15).

its not like you need companions anyways. combat is a joke and the biggest problem is trying to find where to sell everything before getting encombered. but why have such low muscule, right now luck and charisma are dump stats.

Well, there is a syringe that removes addiction, it's just hard to find, but alcohol and fat foods don't give you addiction so it's not really an issue there.

Yeah, combat with a high enough energy weps is quite easy, only necroids make me change to small arms but they're not much trouble too. But I think it's all about strategy and equipment, and enemy level cap. Low muscle because those were the predef stats for white wing, simple as that. Also, I don't like to keep hoarding too much stuff and I never do melee builds. Luck came through to me quite a few times already in the game, not sure what you meant there, but my guess is that luck is always in general not that important in any game. Charisma is not a dump stat, I mean, it's just a very specific build, but I wouldn't call it dump.

I encountered something similar for the toxic well quest in the picnic area, I couldn't find the entrance to the sewer with my blind lone wolf character.

Lone wolf gets you more XP so you can somehow pass the skill checks but lone wolf does nothing for attributes so ... you're bound to be unable to pass some attribute checks. Don't know how to adress this though... Maybe lower those attribute checks if the pc is a lone wolf?

I think any quest based zones shouldn't be tied to attribute checks in order to appear. I mean, that or give the PC an option of saying "I couldn't get in/find a way to get there"

I'm in the same situation as OP. Had to use fatty foods and alcohol to get in... Wish there was another way, like using a tool. Feels off now.

I have yet to do another run, but it seems they're going with this "Old School" rpg dev style, so you won't be able to satiate your completionist hunger with a single character, at least that seems to be it. IME, fatty food + alcohol did the trick to any attrib checks I had to do, but I get ya, it's kinda off-putting

well just advance story, you can get a servoshell armor giving you +2 muscle as well.

everything is doable you just cant do it right now is all.
