KAGA-GOO-GOO
Pawel Dembowski/Ausir wants to know what's up with that "Kaga" guy in the Fallout 2 encounter tables (and Petruschka had the same question again, which is weird - cut it out you guys!):
Here's a series of encounters with a guy from Arroyo called Kaga, which i found in the master.dat files.
Answer - Basically, he was supposed to be a "rival" for the PC, and you were supposed to encounter him throughout the game. According to the encounter description I found:
Kaga
Kaga is an aspiring bandit. The player will encounter Kaga throughout the game in various encounters with thief type groups.
Kaga has more than the average amount of hit points and movement points. The player should not be able to kill Kaga outright. In the first 4 encounter areas Kaga will easily escape from the player.
Kaga is a progressive character and will grow in power and abilities as the player moves to more and more difficult areas of the game.
If the player encounters Kaga in let's say Kaga's third encounter area, then Kaga will no longer be encountered in the first or second encounter area.

Kaga will send you to the next life.

You have been a worthy enemy.
If Karma good This part of the wastes doesn't need a do-gooder like you.
If Karma bad After I kill you, I will be the most feared person in this part of the wastes.
I am looking forward to going home to Arroyo…to burn it down.

Flee
Kaga will not flee in this battle.
Player Floats
These floats only appear once when the player has a random encounter with Kaga
Area 1 - no float

If kagamet=yes Area 3 - So we meet again, Kaga.
If kagamet=yes Area 4 - Go away Kaga!
If kagamet=yes Area 5 - Kagaaaaaaaa!
Basically, from what I gather from his dialogue, he was part of the Arroyo tribe, and he bears the PC ill-will for becoming the Chosen One instead of him.
And that's all I know.
