Yeah, you're probably right about that, and especially right about the line target thing. Perhaps it was just the game model altogether of Tactics that made the combat so absolutely tedious. Although it was refreshing to have characters that only left you to blame if they shot your pc by accident, unlike F2's "FUCK YOU YOU FAT BASTARD FOR BURSTING INTO MY BACKSIDE TO KILL THAT DOG".


There is one reason, and one reason only, why the Fallout Games will only be RPGs I Really Like, and not OMG Boner I Lerv Yuo games: the NPCs. Why oh fucking why can't you control your own idiots? Thrill in F1 as Nick or whoever runs right up to a Deathclaw so you can't soften it up with grenades, or use a flamer. And then all your NPCs die when you enter the mutant compound anyway, since you can't give them better armor. And you had to "trade" with them just to get them to hold stuff, and you ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS got ripped off in any trade ever. Chill in F2 as the Guard the Brahmin throwaway quest takes 500 million times to complete, since your clowns autofire into them, you, and the nearby cacti, thus causing you to fail the mission immediately. Bullshit. And Feargus Urquehart says the NPCs in F3 will still not be under your full control. Fuck you, Feargus.
