DAMN That meat parasite at the basement of the Science Lab is tough! Strength and Resistance are both 14 and it still clobbers me Getting Strength to 16 and Resistance to 17 made it beatable, but still a TOUGH fight. Would help if Linda actually did something besides scream that she's too young to die!
I'm not sure if this is a bug or what, but while fighting an infected female, she got me with a parasite to the face, I got rid of it after a few struggles, but after the fight the parasite came back to the face. Going to the Lab resulted in "we aren't going to do anything about it" so I had to reload from an earlier time (maybe 3 minutes, fortunately)
