Completed Let's play Fallout Tactics (Completed & Repaired)

[Brother None]

Spekkio you are awesome

 

[Azira]

What, you're afraid of mines? With the insane perception on your toons, you'll spot all of them easily. Just plot a course between the mines and you should be fine.. :twisted:

 

[spekkio]

Thanks for all the super-useful PROTIPS guys.

All these "LOL, you can shoot using LMB, bet you didn't know that, nya?" tips are very helpful, really...

Spekkio you are awesome

No point denying that, at least I didn't die during the tutorial... :wink:

 

[marooned]

Daylight effects in this game are really great.

Cool update. Don't leave us hanging there.

Don't try to retrieve the mines with the not-so-trained-yet loli trapper. On the other hand, I don't think these earlier mines are that dangerous...

"The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long."

 

[laclongquan]

WHy bother? It's too bulky and cheap to worth your bother lugging back to sell at base. You could, I suppose, what with 6 mules, but I remember it's not very memorable . Hard work, low pay.

And there's not many defense missions that allow you set up your mines, so 'save for use' just goes out the window.

 

[spekkio]

As Brother Laclongquan said, disarming the mines is not worth the risk...

Don't try to retrieve the mines with the not-so-trained-yet loli trapper.
On the other hand, I don't think these earlier mines are that dangerous...

Y do you lie?

<<

Let's simply blow the mines up or even better - avoid them altogether.

Three units start sneaking east and north. There's one guard on the ground level and another one patrolling the wall there.

Charlotte scouts the minefield, when suddenly the guard comes close. He attacks Charlotte

Charlotte kills him, heals herself

1st group continues north

Other units follow. When they're in the middle of a minefield, three raiders show up.

Neinmaske attacks them using burst mode. 1st salve hits two of them, 2nd one is even more effective:

Fuck. Looting those corpses will be difficult.

Bumface scouts the building to the south. There are only some brahmins there

Stupid creatures detect him. But Bumface spots some important (?) raider in another building SW.

Other units try to ambush the raider patrolling the wall. Since he doesn't show up, Havoc tries to access the booth.
It's locked. Havoc unlocks it after some tries.

We could probably open the internal gate now

But I think we should explore the rest of the map first
We move south and surround the hut

At some moment, the raider spots us

There is another guard to the west. Bumface tries to sneak up on Bo, Bo throws some explosive at him, almost killing himself

Bro kills Bo :insertsomejokehere:

Bumface tests his sneaking skill once more, fails again

He hides behind the wall to the south, other units engage the raider

Neinmaske scores yet another kill

Of course there is another one nearby

Neinmaske loots Bo's hut, taking his grenades

Bumface gets shot again

The Raider takes some heavy punishment before giving up

There is some kind of a prison SW

At least four guards and some prisoners. Bumface and Charlotte try to sneak up on the 1st guard, but they fail (It's mostly my fault - I forgot to switch them to Aggressive Mode)

Wolf and Neinmaske attack the raider from the south, Charlotte kills him

Alright! It's time to storm the rest of the prison. Havoc takes all grenades (best throwing skill).

Stay tuned for some 'nade action!

 

[lightbane]

Perception: Was that a cruel kick-on-the-balls to BG 2's retarded characters (and writing)?

 

[marooned]

HAHAHAHA. It was totally worth it.



Nice skills, dude. More.

 

[spekkio]

We prepare an ambush. Bro & Wolf in back row, other units in front row. Havoc throws 1st nade & hits both raiders without even revealing himself...

Daisy the Nympho-raider greets us

I know that the moment I press the 'Done' button, enemies will start shooting at Havoc.
But if I press 'Z' button fast enough, he will go prone before the bullets reach him.

Thanks to my l33t typing skills, Havoc takes no harm despite three units shooting at him.
Bro & Wolf kill the 1st raider

Charlotte kills 2nd one

After some nice fire exchange

Daisy goes down

Neinmaske takes the Gate Key from her.
If we free the prisoner now, he will try to run away using the main gate, getting his ass killed.

We will go back for him later

We sneak into another building to the north, falling right into a trap:

Bro rapes two raiders at once using burst mode

Neinmaske kills Luke the Raider, Bumface and Wolf finish off the other raider

Another one shows up. He moves close to Charlotte, which isn't a great idea

One of the raiders had some strange weapon equipped

We have two unchecked buildings left in this area

We can also access the wall

One of the raiders attacks from the north, Neinmaske kills him

At least two more left

One of them moves close

Bumface stabs him to death

Charlotte steps in, dodges all bullets shot by three raiders!

Wolf kills 2nd one

Charlotte goes after the 3rd one, but there's more of them inside the hut

Wolf kills the 4th raider (his dog also showed up)

Bro kills the 3rd raider, Bumface & Charlotte go after 5th and 6th

Neinmaske kills the doggie, Charlotte kills the 6th raider, who is quite talkative till the very end...

Bro kills the 5th one

One of the raiders was holding a Prison Key. Combat mode kicks in once more - there is still another raider NW.
Havoc fixes this problem:

The only unexplored building in this area is just another prison

Neinmaske uses a Prison Key and talks with the prisoner inside

Diesoon

Are you from the Brotherhood of Steel? Thank goodness you're here! My name's Diesoon. I was on the way to your base to offer my services when I was apprehended. Once I told them I was a scribe, I was separated from the others and brought here to study this device. I have no idea where they stole it from, but its construction is like nothing I have ever seen.

Listen, you can have the artifact if you like. Just get me out of this awful place.

So, it's a deal? Excellent. Talk to me again to signal when it's safe for me to make a run for it. I'll meet you back at your base.

The arm looks like this:

:shock:

The guard from before (minefield) finally shows up, but we hide

Let's split into two groups. 1st one will access the wall and try to snipe all the guards near the main gate

2nd group will move north and try to kill all hostiles in this area

Move out!

 

[Yeesh]

I'm looking at these screens and wishing JA2 had such cutting edge graphics. Whoredom just creeps up on you.

 

[spekkio]

Havoc unlocks the door for the other team

2nd team advances north, meets some raiders right away

Charlotte kills another quite talkative raider

Wolf knocks 2nd one out

Bumface clubs the 3rd one

Neinmaske levels up, spends his SPs on Lockpick.
Bumface barely survives raider's counterattack

Wolf kills the raider

We can see some raiders in NW corner

Charlotte increases her Sneak skill

Other group accesses the wall, Bro increases his Doctor skill

Wolf kills the 2nd raider

And prepares an ambush - maybe she will be able to kill one of the guards patrolling this part of the wall

Charlotte and Bumface move W, our crazy loli takes another raider from behind

Bumface tries to reach raider's corpse, gets shot by another one

Charlotte takes him out

Both she and Bumface continue West, they will try to take out two remaining raiders

1st team is ready

Charlotte and Bumface sneak up on the raiders. The problem is, there are four of them there :shock:

Let's bring Wolf there too. She attacks the raiders from the west

Charlotte kills one of them, Bumface tries to be useful, gets shot in the face, goes back

Remaining raiders position themselves in front of Charlotte. Bad idea:

Wolf kills the last one

2nd team goes back to the fuel depot (East). It's time for the 1st team to kick some ass too.

Our snipers bring the swift death to the five raiders down below

There should be only one left. 1st team goes back to the ground level.

Havoc gets shot by a sneaky raider

Neinmaske takes violent revenge, inflicting whooping 100 points of damage

Bro kills the remaining one

That was simply sweet:

We go back to the prison and set the prisoner free

The two brahmins cleared the minefield a little

We open the gate

And try to access the final part of the wall. There are some tough-looking raiders inside the final building

But let's clear the outside area first. We kill both patrolling guards.

Everything looks fine, when suddenly...

The rooftop of the final building is guarded too!
We take two guards out.

Three units level up. Havoc increases his Sneak skill. Bumface invests in Big Guns. Wolf increases her First Aid skill - we're slowly running out of stimpacks, so a medic is a must ATM.

The team rejoins at the roof of the building. It's time for the final assault.

Charlotte scouts ahead, finds two raiders and engages them immediately

Bumface finds another raider to the left from the entrance, Havoc kills 1st one and 2nd one. Still, two of them are inside.

Neinmaske attacks both of them

Bumface sneaks close to the 3rd one. Despite having 14% in sneak, he's successful. Charlotte follows him.
Bro takes out the one guarding the stairs

Bumface clubs the remaining one a bit

Neinmaske kills him. It's time to end this mission.

Charlotte goes 1st, finds the leader

Other units follow. When we're almost ready to hit them, 3rd raider detects Bro. It's time to take them out.

Charlotte joins the fun. Enemy leader is pissed:

Wolf kills the 1st raider

Bro and Havoc soften up the others

It's time for Brother Neinmaske

Neinmaske dual wields two lockpicks

Opens the safe

Charlotte increases her Traps skill using the book

She sets Diesoon free on her way out

General Barnaky

Congratulations, warrior.

You have made history today. The raider leaders have been eliminated and their forces smashed. You will be interested to know that all the raider bodies will be displayed in proper crucifixion throughout the region, to discourage those that would follow the same path.

Their base will make an ideal outpost for the Brotherhood since most of their resources are intact. A great victory...but keep a level head. There is a saying in the Brotherhood, "There is always another enemy".

The mechanical device you retrieved is a curious one. Our scribes believe it to be a replacement for a human who has lost his natural arm. What stands out the most is that it seems to be recently manufactured and not even the Brotherhood can craft technology in that advanced fashion.

But, in time, we will learn its secrets and use that knowledge to further the cause of the Brotherhood.

Freeing the captured scribe was a wise decision. His knowledge of the device will be useful. He seems in good health and is recovering from captivity quickly. He will go through initiate training immediately. Keep this up and, one day, you may be assigned to Dagger Squad.

Dismissed.

Alright, let's GTFO!

 

[spekkio]

We go back to the Bunker Alpha. There is a new NPC there:

We can now recruit Squires and Senior Squires at the recruitment center:

If we want to create new recruits, now it's the time.
Since only Warcupine is not created and I don't think that we're gonna loose 10 units in upcoming missions, let's skip this part for now.

We sell everything except guns and ammo. Some new items are available, mainly Leather Armour Mk.2

I buy two of them, plus some Rad-X, Rad-Away and a Diamond Spear for Bumface.

It's time to move to the next Bunker:

Slide Show 1

We have two encounters on the way, but nothing big:

We reach the Bunker Beta finally

New NPCs:

I buy two Doctor Bags from Brother Celsius

Fixing Bumface's arm is worth at least one of them. To my surprise, Bro succeeds with 2nd try.

Let's speak with gen. Barnaky

Two missions? It's like this thing Azira was talking about...

Charlotte and Neinmaske equip new armors

It's time to hit the road!

But before that... It's voting time, people!

Which mission should we take 1st?

Macomb:

rocket-launcher wielding and grenade-spamming raiders

or

Preoria:

laser turrets

So, the rape is inevitable, but you can choose what kind of rape it will be...

DISCUSS!

(You have two sweet weeks...)



*Edit:

Since we can recruit Tribals now, I've added three new portraits to the pool:

 

[Cassidy]

Macomb. And

Spoiler

Don't kill the Dog Trainer

 

[anus_pounder]

Macomb plz.

 

[Undead Phoenix]

Preoria. It will be the most interesting

 

[Chef_Hathaway]

Preoria, Macomb is just a slog through those goddamn rocket-raiders.

 

[lightbane]

Preoria. Beware of

Spoiler

giant cockroaches. Horrible creatures.

 

[spekkio]

^
Yeah, roaches are the biggest problem in this mission for sure...

 

[Yeesh]

Macomb!

 

[spekkio]

Added six new portraits that was missed by the guys from The Vault (that's where I've stolen the rest of them from).

Just check out all these pretty faces!

Male humans:

Female humans:

Tribals:

 

[Squirly]

Macomb.

 

[Azira]

The turrets are vastly overrated, you can take Preoria easily. Do that.

 

[Dragula]

Macomb

 

[spekkio]

Voting results:

• Macomb: 5 votes
• Preoria: 5 votes

Well, Hivemind cannot into effective democracy it seems...

Let's proceed in accordance with the order presented in the Briefings menu, starting with Macomb.

Mission 04 - Macomb

We meet the survivor immediately

Pilot Christian

It's about God-damned time some fucking backup showed up. *Sigh* Alright, the original escort squad is pushing up mutated daisies. Everyone in this God forsaken town wants what's in these supply vehicles.
It's not a pretty situation here. Every twenty feet is another shitty roadblock that has to be cleared. These people are vile and little more than animals. So shoot first and watch your back.
The keys are in it. Good luck and I'll see you back at the base.

He runs away retreats strategically after that

That's our 1st sweet ride:

Wolf will be our driver. This baby can contain the entire team!

Hummer, I mean, not Wolf
Since our repair skill is low and we don't have any Tool Kits ATM, I've decided to proceed on foot. The path is blocked too...

We check out the buildings N and NW, but they're totally empty

We find a Tool Kit in the nearby garage though

Some raiders can be seen to the south

We try to go back E to check out the building there, when suddenly two raiders show up on the ground level!

We engage them, revealing another raider

Neinmaske kills one of the raiders. During enemy turn sniper rapes Wolf hard (burst bug?)

Charlotte kills the 2nd raider, Neinmaske takes care of the sniper

The 2nd sniper to the south shoots at us, but misses. Let's kill the fucker.
We advance S, Havoc silences the bastard for good.

We check out the buildings NE, but they're empty. The path S is blocked.

Good news: we revealed more raiders:

We go back to the main route. The road is blocked by a Gate.

We can open it using switch in the building nearby, but we should take the door E first

Bro moves onto the roof, revealing more raiders

Fuckin' campers! There's also a nice pack of doggies to the east:

We take care of them:

There's no time to celebrate our mighty victory. One of the campers to the south rapes Charlotte and Bumface! (burst bug?!)

Motherfucker! We can access the rooftop of the building to the south using a ladder. Let's do that.

Charlotte scouts ahead. There are at least five of them there!

Stay tuned for more on-the-roof action!

 

[MasterSmithFandango]

Dude... fucking wait weeks and then a small update? Not cool BRO.

MOAR
