FOT is a great game. The CTB combatsystem is far superior to the old TB. That's the best of it. I have had tons of fun playing it, but also tons of strange encounters, so utterly strange they cannot go unmentioned. BTW, I played the patched version.

Anyways, here they are:

Where's my car? I kept looking for it several times. A logical thing to do, right? Yeah, I know it's not supposed to be in that particular map, but why not write that DOWN in TFManual, saving my time? Many things...like...Why doesen't the siren stops rotating/flashing when I have turned it off? I tried to destroy it with dynamite, logical enough. A couple of details, but they happens all the time, making me confused, destroy my gameplay. And...Why is this game labelled fallout? While it is a great game in its own right, and I perfectly understand it's not a RPG, it doesen't feels like fallout at all. It's timeline is supposed to be between FO1 and FO2, but that leaves me blank. It doesen't looks like that at all. The design looks pro and well-crafted, swell in HiRez with 32 bit colour and all, but it's not right. The mutants looks odd. The ghouls looks plain disgusting, not charming as I remember them in FO. I do not sympatize with them as I used to. I just want them dead. The claws got hair? Bizarre! And me, I look like a mannequin in silk-wrappings! Oh my Ghoud! Next thing you know, I am gay and all! My men/women looks like a bunch of retards... They die, but I don't care for them. But...When DogFood died in FO, I think I cried.

Think about that a little, will ya? Makes a difference...

And...

The random encounters are of NO other use than waisting expensive ammo. I don't get experience points while killing really though guys. This is very important, because according to the original system, the more you kill, the more you learn. Logical enough, right? If you are ever going to make a FO3, MAKE SURE the the original look and humor is intact, or else I won't buy it.

This said, I have had fun playing FOT, I give it a fair 75%, and I think it was worth my money. But that was because of the cool combat-system.

Would be cool to see the F3 beeing made by true fanatics/fans of the original FO like me. Would be cool...
