Does anyone know how the "New Brotherhood" for lack of a better term fares in the era of Fallout 2? I have studied the fallout bible written by Black Isle but the timeline there makes no reference to either the Great Air Convoy, nor the eventual fate of the splinter faction in the Mid-West.
 
Probably because they figure they'd have the best reception by a wider audience of people by trying to ignore FOT as an X-Com spin-off.
 
Your reply made no sense at all......

Does anyone know what becomes of the splinter faction after the events of FOT? Or have they not written that part out yet?
 
Oh, his comment makes sense allright.

Iirc, Chris Avalone said that he wouldn't be including any Fallout tactics stuff in the bible because they probably saw all the damn inconsistencies in that game.

What, you mean aside from the millions of inconsistancies that already exist in Fallout 1 and 2?

My guess is that the splinter faction didn't influence the events in California. As far as I can tell, the Fallout Bible only covers the events that's relevant to the California area.
 
.........idiot

How can there be inconsistancies in Fallout 1 ? It's the firs in a series of games that set the standard. Oh, you probably mean inconsistencies with real life, right. It's a bloody game. If that is the case then every game world has inconsistencies in it.

I agree however that some things in Fallout 2 didn't really fit in but at least they weren't as blatant as the ones in Fallout tactics.

Yep! I think FOT is a great TACTICS Game (U can't compare it with FO1 &FO2.) But they have lost their Fallout Soul (It looks like a '70 fiction not '50.) Thats why they not put it in the Fallout Bible.

I can compare it to X-Com and JA2.

As a tactical game, it's crap. It's even crash-happy on some systems, even hardware-unrelated. The only thing it's got going for it is the Fallout name and multiplayer. THAT'S IT.

I can compare it to Fallout.

As a Fallout game, it's piss-poor and doesn't fit into the setting at all.

It does make sense.

Nobody cares as the chances of a sequel to FOT are even more slim than the chances of Fallout 3 that follows the setting right. Considering Avellone is botching more than a few things and needs to have people correct him at every turn, that gives a good indication that FOT is best forgotten except by the FOT fanboys.
 
Agree with you! X-Com (the first one, UFO enemy unknown. Not TFTD or Apocalypse) is the best tactics game ever. But still i said that you can't compare a tactics and RPG right?

Plus as I told before, FOT has lost Fallout Soul, unlike fallout 2 and fallout 1.....

And Romeo says to his beloved Juliet: "Kulo tresno karo sampeyan"
 
What I actually meant was the faults carried across from FO1 to FO2, for example, the complete redesign of vault 15.
 
FOT seems to have completely changed some stuff, like the BOS vehicles and the robots, while I thought that parts of the maps still had a very fallout feel to them, particulary the nuka-cola plants etc.
Oh, and as a strategy game, it is nowhere near as good as the tense and STRATEGIC UFO: Enemy Unknown. It is, however, a lot easier.
