Mar has to lead and inspire them to do whatever necessary to thrive. I don’t go to Kelly but u go to farmacy and about why don’t train nephew I did train him kill that zombie but mara wants to be in a safer spot to spend time seriously training him and put Nora teaching him Shooting and other people other skils mara will make from him a leader.
I don’t think the idea of him killing people with a gun is something I’m comfortable with either, but I know that the world of this game doesn’t care if he’s a kid or not, he can be shot, stabbed, or eaten alive just like the rest of us, and I want him to know how to survive even if he needs to know how to kill, because, what if he can’t always run fast enough ? or what if he can’t find a place to hide ? I feel like I’d be failing him or instilling him a handicap if I didn’t teach him everything he’d need to know in order to survive regardless of it stripping away his innocence or not. Because I’d rather him know every aspect of survival I can possibly teach him, and be alive because of it than him being innocent and almost or possibly dying because I didn’t make sure he knew everything he needs to know.
I get the not wanting to look weak in front of the group but, you can’t be expected to be knowledgeable in every skill imaginable, yes I get that’s what the group expects of you(which is one of the reasons why I don’t care for being in a leadership role in my main self-insert playthrough among other things. I’m not a follower either because I wouldn’t trust other people to make life decisions for me like this, I’ll work with them but I just couldn’t be a sheep follower if I ever were to join a group.) But by acting like you’re better than you actually are, aren’t you contributing to the idea or expectation of people expecting you to know what you’re doing all the time ? Or that you know just as much as about a certain skill as the other person in the camp even if you don’t ?

To let them training you you have trust them first. Do I trust them?. I trust like five six people in group. It was ONLY a week
Not months. And something as training more when we have to be the strong rock to the morale need time and confidence. I don’t have it yet. So i don’t let them training me but that will change next part

Ok but is that not enough time to get reading on who knows what they’re doing and who doesn’t and could you not ask the people you do trust to train you ? I don’t trust everybody in the group either but, I think I’ve seen enough of the people I do trust skillsets to make a decision on who I want to train me and what I want them to train me in based off the skills they excel at and what they have demonstrated proficiency in.
I trust Madison I have a similar level of firearms
I trust Brody . He could teaching me Fishing?
Tommy … I am teaching him lol
Nora…
Reilly
Dante Hand combat? I don’t need that.
Titus
Nephew
How do you know you don’t need to know how to fight hand to hand are you good at it ? How do you know there will never be a time where you don’t have access to any weapons and you have to fight someone with your own hands? Also just because you’re teaching someone a skill doesn’t mean it’s not an opportunity to learn from them.

Question for everyone, who trains the individual group members & what skill do you teach them and why do you think they’d be good at that particular skill you’re teaching them ? Do you receive training from other people to expand your own bag of tricks ? If so what skill do you ask to be trained in and from who ?
[/quote] Before the update I would train the group in all combat skills now I do physical training, Ranged wepons, Most of the time close combat wepons. If teach just one person it’s the nephew in persuasion. @JimD will we be able to train the group in part 3 agin.

Because I have master persuasion good intimidation and no bad stealth.There are tons more useful skills than hand to hand As i wont go punching people if I can stab them in the back. I don’t go anywhere without a knife.
What good are those if you were to end up knocked out and taken hostage by an enemy ? Unless they didn’t do a good job of searching you for weapons, I don’t see you waking up with any weapons on you knife included. Sure you could try manipulating them by talking to them in order to gain leverage of the situation, but you don’t know if that wouldn’t get you into trouble or punished in someway for speaking at a time when they don’t want you to.

Hand-to-hand will probably be much more useful in Part 3 considering we’ll be interacting with a lot of people as opposed to zombies (I assume). There can be plenty of opportunities to come out on top relying solely on hand-to-hand over other combat skills; surrendering weapons, being imprisoned, running out of ammo/close combat weapon breaking somehow, etc.

How good is Dante in hand to hand ? Is he better than Tommy ? Because Tommy is at level 5 when it comes to hand to hand.

No idea I always thought Dante was better for all the TV and all that. However. Tommy Can train Mara !!! When we are new base and there is time in discretion as Mara is worst people in camp. But with Tommy not problem. As tommy is Mara padawan and will become a nice con artist himself.

I doubt that anyone would be better at hand to hand combat than Tommy, except Lopez maybe, after all Tommy is a martial artist and Dante is just an actor?

@Cari-san @poison_mara I just checked and Tommy is actually better at hand to hand combat than both Dante & Lopez !!! Dante has level 4 while Lopez has level 3. Tommy also has a higher athletic skill than both of them.

While you make a good point, even if I did want training I wouldn’t have enough time to receive it since the two missions take up almost all of my free time in that section. So I might as well look on the bright side and say that not asking for it makes me come off as confident.

I don’t make the Kelly gas mission because destroying my role-playing and my stats. Because Mara would gaining intel about the new group and offering the food in exchange of a opportunity of gaining a audience with the group in their base maybe planning some future alliances. Sadly game consider give food as a CHARITY event and destroy Mara stats and coherent flavours checks. Because i could give food to a guy but after killing half of possible companions and planning demise of more and be a raider being considered compassionte and charitable destroys the tone. so Mra dont go with kelly.

I take the mission for the sole purpose of getting gasoline out of the tanks in the station. Considering that we have about half a dozen vehicles and God knows how long it’ll be before we come across another opportunity like this, I’ll need all the fuel I can get.
And yeah, the River Dogs thing is annoying. But even though my character is meant to be the calculated and pragmatic type, they’re ultimately a good person. So I can roll with it.
