Aside from Airships, talking Deathclaws, and Vault continuity screw ups, there's not much Fallout: Tactics screws up canon-wise. Not much more than Fallout 2. Beyond Tactics not being the Fallout sequel fans wanted, I don't see the irk people have towards it fitting into the Fallout universe.

I would assume the eastward bound Super Mutants from Fallout 1/2 made their appearance in Fallout: Tactics.

One thing Bethesda has done right, is craft the game on an engine that already has a large modding community that is familiar with it. Where as Fallout 1/2/Tactics is for the most part limited to the NMA community and basic "save game editor" coders, Fallout 3 is going to enjoy extended gameplay...

Might need some clarification with that.

You mean every cue-2-5-8-10-13 ball? That irked me a little. If it's a reference to something, I'm missing it. The amount of those specific balls kinda made me wonder what the other balls did to deserve their disappearance. Edit: That's not directed at the poster, but rather the game, the...

Well, it's the closest similarity I can find. By my pronunciation, I find "le-deux" and "le-meux" to sound the same in pronounciation and phonetics. The "le" part didn't factor into it, for me it was somewhat of a straight interpretation of "Hockey reference -> Ledoux -> goalie -> not a...

Not to bring up differences, but seeing vultures up in the sky circling above is a sight to behold and wouldn't otherwise in an isometric view.

Heh, almost forgot about those crazy bastards. Aligns perfectly with my Fallout Theory of Expoential Deviation.

Myst with minigames? ... wait that makes sense.

Fallout with swords?

I have something to add. I like the fact Luck does more than just determine my crit chance. I would have liked to see Luck also add 1-2 points to all skills per point I put into it in Fallout 1/2/Tactics.

While not based on Fallout in anyway, having lived in that area and having an opinion of the the people that live there, feral ghouls are a fitting fate for that community. Plus, if I had known that DC cars exploded like mini nukes in chain reactions before this game, there'd be a massive...

"Frightening" is not a word I'd choose to describe Fallout 1 or 2. Least of all the effect of the isometric view. If anything I became paranoid when I didn't see any red bars on my compass when searching around Vault 92. I was totally expecting some kinda spook service. Made sure I closed the...

Heh, LARPers. I will give you that there's a sudden omnisciant "ZOMG IAN DEAD KILL 101 GUY!" reaction at Arefu that doesn't make sense. From what I understand, Ian and Arefu are the two things you can't kill, otherwise you fail the quest. It's simply railroaded and programmed that Ian has...

That is friggin awsome.

That is true. There are examples of both sides of the coin. Not to turn this thread into a religious debate, though it is about karma, but survival/comfort/faith have been corner stones of human development over the past few milienia. It's also part of the Fallout universe, both in...

Short answer: Design choice. Slightly longer answer: Design choice so players can visually descern the difference between a feral ghoul and a vanilla ghoul from a resonable distance. Shilloute patterns help in target prioritizing.

I guess you could justify the Tenpenny ordeal as your good intentions having ill effects, in the same sense of "the road the hell is paved with good intentions". You don't get negative karma for the event itself because you had good intentions to begin with, but realizing your mistake and then...

Dark humor is seeped, marinated, and flash fried in irony. That with mortality and mature situations (sex, drugs, rock'n'roll) make up the holy trinity of dark humor. Lame... yous.

After a few save game reloads, I've come to the conclusion: Feral Ghouls are just as fast as melee rushing Super Mutants, faster than Mirelurks, but slower than Yogi Bears. Yogi Bears will run you down and murderize you.
