Duck and Cover

Well, after seeing the endings for FOT (very nice, btw), I thought a sequel could certainly be possible. How about this, for the Barnaky ending: Following the merging of general Barnaky's essence with the Calculator, a golden age of progress and technology dawns for the new Brotherhood of Steel and ...

Here's a more recent one - my computer crashed just as I was saving, meaning the savegame was corrupt. I had to go back to a previous save, which was 2 missions back. But I still finished the game today - very nice ending movie BTW. And I should've known better than putting that damn nazi Barnaky in...

1. My choice would be a super mutant with Gifted, Fast Shot, and Steady Arm. Give him an M2 or that nifty Chinese minigun, and watch the bodyparts fly. :) 2. Charisma is mainly used for bartering, and (in Fallout 1 & 2) convincing NPC's to join you, or agree with you and such. Not much use in pu...

I've had the same problem. After leaving the Grimm brothers encounter I saw that it was on the map so I decided to go back. However, the second time I could no longer leave.

I've upgraded from the retail version directly to 1.27, could that be the problem?

Ok, thanks for all the advice... I actually hadn't read the little blurb that said I'm not authorized to attack the main base, I just thought I was supposed to get in there and rescue Barnaky... I still tried attacking them just for the hell of it, but my squad wasn't that powerful. So after getting...

Yeah, so I'm new to the game... Anyway, I don't understand how to complete this mission. The part giving me trouble is the hill to the northwest. There seems to be only one entrance, and as soon as I send anyone there they get killed in one hit. There doesn't seem to be any way to get inside since S...

My squad right now: Max - Leader/Close Assault (with submachine gun & ripper). Also good at bartering. Stitch - Medic / Scientist / Secondary Assault (woe unto those raiders who gather in tight groups when Stitch and his combat shotgun are in range...) Jax - All-Purpose Grunt / Fearless Charger ...

Can you still use targeted shots like in Fallout (aiming at bodyparts)? I can't seem to do it - or is it not in the game anymore? Thanks.

Thought I'd ask other people about their experiences since I just had one today... I believe I was on the third mission (recover the arm, destroy the raiders), I had accomplished everything and was heading for the exit, when my entire squad of 5 blithely ran over a landmine and got blown to little b...

Thanks for the input everyone... Well, after playing a few more missions I've come to the conclusion that yes, they both have their place. I've learned not to have anyone with burst weapons while in CTB (too many accidents), but otherwise it greatly speeds up the game especially in levels like Preor...

As a new initiate to Fallout Tactics and longtime Fallout player, I have to say I was mostly attracted to the old-style turn-based play. I did however decide to try out the new 'real-time' (CTB) mode, and was somewhat disappointed. I felt I'd gotten faster action at the expense of control. Between t...
