Ranking The Fallout Series From Worst To Best
7. Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood Of Steel
Stripping the Fallout formula down to strategy and combat doesn't sound like a great idea, but Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood Of Steel pulled it off.
Developer Micro Forte proved that other gameplay formats are a good fit for the series, winning over the naysayers with refined, turn-based combat.
Fallout Tactics earned plaudits for its thinking man's depiction of Wasteland warfare, but it fell short of perfection. The dunder-brained computer AI only opened fire when it was shot at first, and there were some frustrating bugs related to the game's vehicles which were never fixed. War never changes, eh?
Whether Tactics is considered canon is a subject of some debate. Fallout 3's development team once tried to tell us it isn't, but a vague reference to the Chicago-based Brotherhood in that game suggests it's at least quasi-canon.
Take it up with Bethesda. No doubt they'll look forward to your letters.
