First time out of the vault
The lack of real time combat is precisely why I love Fallout 1 & 2. Similarly the fact that time advances in real-time during normal play - it's rare for me to be in a hurry in game. I can take my time and play and the pace I want.sure, only I see it as folks who are attached to tb in fo2 are attached to it not cuz it's a central part of the game, blah-blah, but just cuz they haven't tried or haven't developed an acquired taste to rt. Very simple and no vague rationalizations
It's not that I can't play fast-paced games. I'm pretty good at them. But I like to explore the wasteland at a pace of my choosing.
I don't think all combat should be turn-based but the way combat works in the later games is very much to their detriment in my eyes. If you've played enough variants to develop a taste for things done differently that's fine and good but recognise that it's your tastes that have changed, not that everyone else is lagging behind.
