Wow, just wow. This game has so much presentation it's stunning. I would love nothing more than an endless mode to keep playing with Leshy.

Literally the most boring game out here, why play this when you arent in school

This game sucks.

Edit: This game still sucks.

Edit Edit: Lightfall sucks harder.

For the older fans, this can be an enjoyable game to play, for newer players it can seem annoying. As it has the old combat system based on agility and such for those who enjoyed that function but, added a new continuous turned based combat system into the game and rather than controlling one character you now control a squad of brotherhood soldiers of all shapes and sizes. In typical fallout fashion you have the option to create or choose a preset character, of course they are all the generic smart, strong, charismatic or an agility sided character. ( I recommend you choose agility and intelligence but hey that`s my opinion! ) The continuous turn based combat can be turned off the new turn based system and is very recommended as you will not have the reaction time to fight back. Also new to the combat system is the stance mechanic, it is very simple as it is divided between 3 stances. Starting off with standing, - normal starting stance, can run to places and provides tallest sight line, no additional accuracy bonus. Up next is crouching, - provides a sneak and accuracy bonus as well as a defense bonus to your squad while also providing a movement and sight penalty. Enemies/NPCs also gain a melee accuracy bonus on the unit crouching but vise versa against guns. The last stance is proning, - Proning leads to a more significant accuracy bonus and provides the best defense against npcs with guns. Sneak skill is also vastly increased compared to crouching. In contrast the melee accuracy against units in the prone position is higher than an enemy that is crouched and overall sight + movement is greatly reduced. All stances require agility points to change to but do so in an annoying way, going from standing - crouching = 2AP, standing - proning = 4AP and for those new players the amount of AP you have depends on your overall agility. If you made it to this part of my boring ass review it means you are actually considering it and might be wondering why I`ve only been talking about combat. There is no speech skill in this game. Weird right? A fallout game with no speech? The only reason fallout tactics still has charisma in the game is for bartering with the quartermaster for brotherhood currency or tribal currency. other than that it serves no visible services. If you like the older fallouts way of combat this is the game for you but be aware of its bugs and aggressiveness towards brahmin you randomly encounter and are forced to fight or retreat. random encounters are also very frequient so it's best to up the outdoorsmen skill set. if you like the speech moments of fallout stick to 1, 2 or new vegas because your not gonna find it here.
