The intro of the single player game with Paladin Richeck (Rychek or however else its spelt) was the only thing I had seen besides the demo of the game before I bought it and I was disappointed that besides a pic in the credits, he isnt even in the game. Was anyone else bothered by that? .. they base an entire intro around the guy and he doesnt even show up in the game to say 'hey hows it going? great? swell.'
 
Okay, I know I am not supposed to say I Hate This Game here, but I mean......come on!
Fallout Tactics lacks multiple choice dialogs. All your characters can do is nod their heads and go "uh huh". What point is there in spending points on speech skill (or did they take that out...?)
Whatever.
Next thing is, you can only be good. You can't be bad, cuz if you are, your ass gets nailed to the Tree Of Woe. ;-)
Another thing is, you only encounter cities full of bad guys. One or two may be good, but all they do is go "Help me" or "save me". If you wanna be evil and kick their asses, you get nailed to the Tree again or kicked outta the brotherhood.
Wondeful.
But wait, there's more! (voice like in an advertisement show)
You get all those party members and no way to create an individual. If you could at least set your party on computer-control mode it would be a bit more fun.
An RPG is a game where you can develop your char and mess around with him in a BIIG OPEN world. You should be able to go into a city and say, "Hey! I know you! DIE!" and kill him. Like in Fallout 1 and 2. Instead, you chew yourself from mission to mission to mission. Even X-com is more fun on my 386.
GAWD, DONT LET INTERPLY SCREW UP FALLOUT 3!
Thank you.

[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Aug-22-01 AT 03:13AM (GMT)[p]Fallout Tactics is a Tactical Combat Game not an RPG. They advertised the game as having rpg aspects but not on being an rpg. That would explain a lot of your comments. Oh and there is an overseer mode which controls your NPCs.

But you are right about the "freelancing" thing. In my humble opinion no RPG is complete without this aspect.
 
Overseer mode??
How do I activate that?? :-p

Options page I think. I never used it but I remember reading about it in the manual.
