Description

After the great war, the wasteland is inhabited by a wide variety of mutated species... And one force of order and justice: the Brotherhood of Steel. As a new initiate to the Brotherhood, you will undertake different missions to take on Raiders and such as you attempt to protect the fragile respawning of civilization... and discover the new threat to the west...

Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel is essentially the combat portion of the original Fallout series, with a new campaign, graphical polish, a set of random encounters, and a world map. The emphasis is on squad tactics and tactical combat, though your characters will grow like any RPG.

Trivia

I can't prove this, but I'm absolutely certain that the "stinky meat platter" you find in various places throughout the game is a nod to Mahlon Smith's "StinkyMeat Project". If you haven't checked it out yet, it's available here:
