Drunkard's Walk Forums

I have an odd question. Over on All The Tropes, a new user has just submitted a change the deletion of this passage (referring to Fallout 2) from a page:

Quote:Note, the battle with Frank is only this tough if you didn't use the mutant toe on him.

with this edit reason:

Quote: A poster was perpetuating a hoax. Removed the incorrect passage.

Google and DDG have turned up pretty much nothing except a couple references to using said toe, and nothing about any kind of Fallout 2 hoax. Can anyone tell me what's up with this? Thanks.

Random NPCs in game will say that the toe can instant kill Frank. It actually debuffs him 3 HP. People ran with it to build up the hoax.

Ah, okay, thank you!
