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

[Gerrard]

Time to take out the trash.

 

[DraQ]

Furry deathclaws...

They did look better thant the original ones, though. Maybe if the used the same loooks but without the fur, or made them hybrids of both types...


Doesn't change that the game was lame and bored me to hell, even though some stuff, like vehicles, was cool.

 

[lightbane]

I was more concerned with the talking deathclaws for no apparent reason. However, you should know that this game was made for the sole purpose of making some quick money for the sadly forgotten Van Buren, and thus should not be considered canon, plus is a fun tactical game (later ITZ happened and the Unholy One raped the lore and the game to death, but it's a story you know well).

 

[laclongquan]

Not a problem with me! Tactical squadbased RPG is not growing on trees, so I take what I can, esp things at FTBOS's level. Sheer goodness, that is.

 

[spekkio]

I've decided to go N first.
We try to sneak close to the 1st guard, but fail horribly...

Filthy canine detects Bro, he takes his 1st shot

and...

Neinmaske hits the female raider

Charlotte crawls closer to the guard, revealing herself. Bro shoots 1st male raider twice, hits both times

Neinmaske hurts the female raider, Charlotte scores her 1st kill

She goes after 2nd male raider, Neinmaske acts as bait

Our mighty tactic fails horribly of course, Charlotte misses the raider, he hits her

Neinmaske hits him twice, but inflicts only light damage

Meanwhile to the south: Bro wastes precious 7.62 ammo missing the 1st raider all the time

2nd raider hits Charlotte, crippling her right arm (she was shot while FirstAid-ing herself) :shock:

Neinmaske tries to kill the raider but fails, gets hit three times and is left with 3 HP

Charlotte kills the raider using her one (still working) hand

Bro retreats N

It went ALMOST perfect, people. Neinmaske miraculously survived, and Charlotte still has one arm in working condition!
Brother GarfunkeL would be proud I think...

Charlotte heals Neinmaske

Due to Bro's (and Neinmaske's) shitty doctor skills, we use up TWO doctor bags to finally fix Charlotte's arm!
(I was ready to load the game because I was sure that something is wrong with all those "failed" info... Well, we didn't need those shitty bags anyway...

Of course I tried 1st mission two times yesterday to check if everything works fine with the renaming stuff etc. and I was able to kill ~10 raiders without even being hit.
Oh well, RPGCodex LP can fuck you up it seems...

Let's kill this 1st raider that was too much for Bro

We fail to sneak on him

But have more luck this time - Neinmaske owns the raider totally.

(Neinmaske is Lv. 1 but his skills are Lv. 2 actually (as if he leveled up) - editor misbehavior.)

We collect loot and face another challenge: a lonely raider!

Charlotte sneaks on him and fires her boomstick, but both she and Bro miss their shots.

Neinmaske & Bro hit the raider (he missed in his turn)

Charlotte fulfills raider's request

Phew! Perfect victory!

Neinmaske takes the key from the chest

Bro equips Colt .45, Charlotte takes the Uzi.

We explore western part of the map, finding more tribals

Greetings hero, I have foreseen your coming since the first Eve of Troubles.

I am Hawkeye, Spiritwalker and Soothsayer for my people. I guard the passage to the Spirit World for the living. However, the Waking World has turned against my people and they have been scattered to the sands.

You must speak with Charon, our Elder. He speaks for our people in the waking world. I guard the secrets of the Sunless Lands. I cannot help you further.

Let's go back to the main path

Stay tuned for more l33t tactical skills presented to you by yours truly!

 

[yaster]

Almost Dead in the very first fight? Ohh yeah, this thread gonna rox. Totally unlike some wapanese crap

 

[Cassidy]

I was considering sacrificing Endurance to get 9 AG so Neinmaske would have 10 APs once BRO gets the Leader perk. I guess the result of not doing it is here now.

 

[spekkio]

Neinmaske opens the door, all units sneak inside

Charlotte tries to crawl past the 1st guard, but gets detected

Charlotte moves close to the 2nd guard, Bro hits the 1st one, Neinmaske knocks him out

And due to his awesome AG + Fast Shot combo, kills him. It's time for the 2nd one. Neinmaske softens him up

Charlotte blows him to pieces

Suddenly, another dog shows up. Fucker bites Charlotte twice, attacking through the wall

Charlotte kills the h4xor

Well, that went PERFECT!

Charlotte tries to heal Bro, but damages his Right Arm instead

Let's stick to healing items for now...

Neinmaske collects the loot

We continue N, finding another raider and two dogs, sleeping like babies.

Let's take them out fast. Bro shoots the raider

Charlotte kills him and one of the dogs, Neinmaske kills 2nd dog

We move south. There are around 10 people in next tent. Fuck!

Luckily for us, it's mostly tribals, guarded by two raiders

We attack both guards (hitting some poor tribal too)

Both raiders try to hide during their turn, but Neinmaske knows no mercy

The 2nd raider was more problematic. He was well hidden in the corner and kept shooting at us, hitting tribals too

Bro does the job finally

We heal both injured tribals just in case, take our 1st lockpick from the table and continue E. There's a female sniper patrolling this area.

After some hide & seek play

She falls right into our trap

Neinmaske kills her and equips a Hunting Rifle. Let's check out what's inside the tent. Well, somebody certainly is there:

Charlotte sneaks on the raider and blows his brains out

Our next destination: another bunker.

It's guarded for sure. Let's crawl...

We try to kill the raider attacking from three sides, but he keeps dodging our bullets

Fucker hits hard...

Finally, Charlotte finishes him off, running OOA

We find some Molotov's Cocktails in the crate

And continue South

Damn, this looks like a challenge...

*edit: errors

 

[pipka]

[Perception]

 

[marooned]

Having one arm broken doesn't prevent you from using 2 handed weapons? Didn't remember that. FoT logic fails.

Charlotte tries to heal Bro, but damages his Right Arm instead

What a psychopathic loli.


More gutting out, good sir.

 

[spekkio]

We sneak E

Bro & Neinmaske will try to snipe, Charlotte will try to circle around.
She finds a guard quick.

Neinmaske attacks the patrolling guard

Charlotte hits the other one

Charlotte gets hit, but kills the guard in her turn, Bro and Neinmaske finish off the 2nd guard

Let's try to sneak close to the bunker. We go one by one to avoid possible burst-rape

Finally, everything is ready. There are two raiders inside the bunker

Bro hits the left one, Neinmaske joins the fun

Charlotte tries to throw a Molotov's Cocktail at the 2nd one but misses. Neinmaske kills the 1st one

After some fooling around, Bro kills the 2nd one

Let's continue south

There's a raider to the south, but let's check out this platform 1st. What a surprise

Charlotte wins the duel

We try to take out the raider to the south, but there's one more!

After some shots from Bro & Neinmaske, he runs away. The other raider is surprisingly hard to hit

He's a melee unit actually - he tries to take Neinmaske from behind!

Charlotte and Neinmaske kill him

While we loot his warm corpse, the 2nd one shows up again. Neinmaske takes care of him

We continue SE, finding a sneaky raider and his dog

Two raiders actually...

Neinmaske kills the raider, Bro kills the dog (Charlotte missed poor animal twice, wtf)?

2nd raider comes close only to be killed by Charlotte

We're almost there, people!

Hidden raider rapes unsuspecting Charlotte

Bro kills him, but the fight attracts another two raiders

The male one h4x as fuck: even Charlotte's close combat skills aren't enough to take him out

But who can resist a true Zionist Agent?

Neinmaske kills the female raider too

It's time to storm the main enemy compound. There's a raider guarding the roof access

Charlotte tries to sneak on him. The final battle won't be easy, people. There's at least four raiders inside.

Neinmaske and Charlotte kill the guard

There's at least five of them inside

Teh plan: Charlotte will try to sneak in and use grenades, Neinmaske will snipe from the roof, Bro will try to be useful somehow (bait?).

Neinmaske moves onto the roof, he is spotted by one of the raiders. Unfortunately (for him), Neinmaske doesn't miss.

Too bad that Neinmaske cannot see another enemies. Let's switch to Charlotte. She tries to sneak closer to the female guard

But the enemy leader cannot be tricked that easily

There's four of them, armed heavily. Charlotte throws a greande, hurting the female raider

Bro moves forward, misses the male raider, gets hit by female raider

Neinmaske can do shit from above. Let's bring him back to the ground level.

Charlotte wastes one grenade and two Molotov's on a female guard, but without success.

The raider to the left rushes at us at some point. Charlotte and Neinmaske kill him

Charlotte hits the leader

and kills the female raider finally

Another female raider joins the shootout, hits Charlotte hard

Charlotte heals herself, both guys try to sneak on the female raider

Charlotte hits Horus some more

Raider hits Neinmaske, he heals himself and takes Horus out

Charlotte kills the remaining raider

It's finally OVER!

Time to take the ph4t l00t & distribute the skill-points. All units invest in Small Guns skill.

Neinmaske tests his lockpicking skills on a closed chest

Inside he finds 3 stimpacks

We go all the way back to the shaman

He gives us a Healing Powder. Let's check out if the Elder is all right

Hah hah hah. Your grace in battle is wondrous to behold Initiate. The death screams of the bandits reminded me of angels singing. They will think twice before attacking this village again.

Initiate, you defended my people as fiercely as a Deathclaw protects her cubs. Please accept this ancient gift from us. You are now considered family in my humble village.

And, of course, all the recruits will be delivered to your base as agreed. Well done.

You have our thanks.

He gives us a detonator

We reach the exit grid

World map at last!

Let's go to the bunker

Thank god it's only a group of strange (transparent?) villagers :shock:

Good news: Bro's arm fixed itself. Is he a mutie or sth?

Welcome to the Bunker Alpha

We visit the Quarter Master to sell useless stuff

Our barter skill suck ass ATM (unit with the highest skill: Bro - 14% ). Oh, well...
I sell everything except ranged weapons, ammo and drugs (for future use)

That's better. Let's visit the Medical Officer

I was thinking about buying a Doctor Bag, but the price is insane

Next stop: the recruitment center

Fuck yeah! It's Editor time!

 

[Azira]

Good job sir!

 

[spekkio]

[spekkio]

@ Azira

It was no need, soldier. I've noted the date of your final edit, you are next on the list after WW.

But: the name is still too long... :evil:

 

[Azira]

Just call him Monkey then.

 

[spekkio]

I've decided to edit three Lv. 2 Initiates in the bottom row.

But there was a problem with the Editor: I couldn't edit recruits if we already accessed the bunker (that's probably the moment when the game checks the list of the recruits).
I had to load previous save (before accessing the bunker), modify the recruits and access the recruitment center again. Phew!

Let's give a warm welcome to our new recruits.

Havoc:

Man, I didn't even have to change the portrait, how did you do that?

The BUMFACE:

Character creation failed - your build was impossible, not enough CPs (max=47 with Gifted).

I've decided to reduce EN. I had to shorten the name as well - too long to show up on the unit list properly.

Wolf:

Am I doing it right?

Actually... no. Your build was impossible too, not enough CPs. I've decided to reduce EN, same as with the Admiral.



You and the Admiral assumed that Jinxed increases one of the stats or sth? I am confuse...

Azira posted final version of his CV after WW, so he will have to wait for some casualties.

I've decided to prepare next 5 recruits just in case (of not being able to edit recruits when in need of them).
I've started with Senior Initiates this time. They're more problematic to edit than the Initiates. I had to bring them back to Initiate status, reset their exp and skills to Lv. 1, change their stats, traits, tagged skills etc and finally bring them back to Lv. 2. I hope I didn't screw anything up.

tl;dr

All four units were proper builds this time...



Juggernaut failed a PER check...

No melee-only characters. Pick (tag) at least one ranged weapon skill.

The list looks a bit weird, but everything should work:

Let me know if all builds are correct. I'm gonna give you some time before accessing the bunker, because when I do that, there will be no chance to edit the recruits (at least for some time, I think).
Let's hope that the recruit list resets after every mission and we won't have to wait till Bunker Beta for next opportunity to bring new recruits in.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

Actually... no.

Thought so.

 

[lightbane]

looks right, but why in the name of fuck do I have -25% damage?

oh, because of finesse, nevermind. carry on. you just spend all my points on energy weapons, sonny boy, i'll have 58 then, methinks, just get me a nice laser rifle and let fly the motherfuckers. critical to the motherfucking eyes, fuck yeah.

What a shame that energy weapons do not appear until... uuhhh, past midgame basically, it will be many, many missions later until you find one.

 

[Azira]

Alright! -2% barter skill! Woo-boy, am I getting short-changed!

Build looks perfect. Now to await a chance to let the bullets fly! Sniping's fun, but even more so when every attack does 25% more damage.

I reinstalled the game due to this thread. I'm having fun. Later in the game, as armor becomes increasingly more powerful, the drawback of kamikaze lessens, and the advantage grows.

Thread is bookmarked. :twisted:
