As far as choosing btw energy and heavy weapons: So automatically you have access to the best weapons in the game, the Gauss'. Well, in both games you pretty much must have decent small weapons stats, that's a given. Ĭould someone give a quick argument on energy vs conventional weapons? I'm glad to be enjoying it for the first time. If only Fallout3/Fallout Online didn't get raped, maybe they could have merged the FO2 and Tactics systems into one uber RPG. Add the real time ambushes and duck/prone tactics. Simply being able to control your characters is a deep sigh or relief. There's something to be said about Tactics despite the fanboi hatred of it. Once the buddy in the way dies, they suddenly act! Finally, they don't fan out properly, so they occasionally block each other's line-of-fire. Other times they stand there and don't fire for whatever pathfinding reason. Use defensive mode and suddenly they won't fire. Whenever I'm trying to make a bottleneck or pincer move, they'll do something stupid like stand there getting pummeled or run into the fray, making nades and bombs useless. The buddy AI really pisses me off though.

Why's it so rare, btw? FO:Tactics had dozens.įor whatever reason Marcus will use the laser rifle, so suddenly he's useful (10 AP = 2 shots). I can't enter Vault City because it's not worth wasting the pill. Did you pop a mentat? That helps since Michael Dorn is a prissy prima-donna bitch.
