Drawbacks of realtime combat....

[Guest]

The way I see it. as much as realtime combat is good. Its also bad. lemme go into this a bit.

The Good
Well every body loves to be able to move around when ever you want, run circles around your enemies.

You could run from enemies whenever, so if your on the verge of death, RUN!!! no stupid AP to stop ya.

Online (multi player) you could have suppresion fire, to keep people in a certine area without accusly killing them. If the mission requires.

You wouldn't have to wait for the entire town of adytum to take there turns before you fire again.

BAD

You would find the game way to much easier. If you were a really fast clicker you could theoredicly wipe out all opposision. If you were a spaz you could destroy the game, without a problem.

There is no suspence in the battle wondering what would happen next. As long as you kept moving, you'd never be touched.

You'd find your self clicking about 600 times a minute during intense battles.

You might accedentally click and fire at you NCP's


the list could go on.. Share some of you Good and bad lists

Well what can i say, your right. It would be a hell of alot easier in combat, and it would be faster for the "you encounter wolves" bit which seems to pop up all the time(damn annoying when your starting out)as well as any other fights.
BUT Turn-based does has alot of suspense in it,
there`s nothing like waiting for your next turn when the raider next to you has a 10mm SMG. And it allows for a greater degree of strategy as well, i`ve seen postings for Tactics saying that the Real-Time combat would be superior because of suppresion fire etc. turn-based can do the same though like in the X-Com series(which stopped being good with Apocalypse..)and every one already knows the TB combat, so BIS wont lose people from thinking that Fallout will be worse if the RT mode is implemented..

PS.Sorry about going on so much, but i`ve been wanting to say something about this for awhile
