Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel is the third installment in the Fallout series, and the series' first spinoff. Released in 2001, it was developed by Micro Forte and published by Interplay Entertainment. The game took a departure from the first two games. While, at its core, still an RPG and uses the same SPECIAL system as the previous games, the focus is now on tactical combat. The official stance on the game from the current IP owners Bethesda is that it's Broad Strokes canon.It's 2197, and the Midwestern Wasteland is an okay place to live. Sure, Chicago is in ruins, there's monsters everywhere that can tear your head off easier than you could swat a fly, almost all the water is irradiated, there are large groups of Super-Mutants who escaped the destruction of The Master's army that want to Kill All Humans, and... Actually, the Wasteland is a horrible place to live. But it's not like you have a choice.And then everything changed. A huge storm caused gigantic airships to crash-land nearby, and soldiers in huge suits of technologically advanced armor marched out of them, setting up bases. They are the Brotherhood of Steel, and they are not happy to be here. They are the descendants of the United States military, surviving the Great War in a secret military base, and their stated duty is to protect the technology of the past, so that the future may benefit from it.The Brotherhood is at a loss, however, for their carefully built airships have been destroyed before they could return to their home base, and they now have no way back. They will not be missed, however, because they've been exiled from the Main Brotherhood, due to an argument which has lasted years: Should the Brotherhood remain a closed faction, secret and pure, dwindling as the decades go by, or let in the clueless Wastelanders that may misuse the gifts of the Brotherhood? The survivors of the crash were the ones who decided upon the latter choice.And now they are forced to stand by in their decision, because the majority of this new Brotherhood are now dead and buried under the rubble of the airships, and they've got to replace them fast, or the Wasteland might just swallow them up. And that's where you come in. You were one of the ones they chose, among others, to join the Brotherhood, and as a test, you will be leading a bunch of other initiates to disperse the nearby Raiders that are causing trouble. If you succeed, you will be fully incorporated into the Brotherhood; If you fail, you can just go back to the Wasteland.You sure as hell aren't gonna fail.Not to be confused with Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, the Action RPG developed by Interplay Entertainment for consoles that has since been declared Canon Discontinuity.

RPGs Equal Combat: Zig-Zagged. Sure, the game is basically a tactical shooter with very linear plot, but it's not trying to convince anyone it's something more. On the other hand, combat by itself grants almost no experience points - they are earned for different, often optional, mission objectives.

Multiple Endings
 Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77
comment
Multiple Endings: Once the final enemies are defeated, the squad is offered a Last-Second Ending Choice; save the Calculator by donating a squad member's brain, or let the Calculator self-destruct. However, more endings are available if one was able to spare General Barnaky or make it to the Calculator with a 100% Good Karma squad member. The canon ending, however, is the one where the Calculator is destroyed. Let the Calculator self-destruct. This allows the Brotherhood to capture Vault 0 and use it as its primary base of operations. However, the Calculator was in fact the most valuable asset the Vault housed - without its databanks, the vault is just another cache of old technology, not a new industrial resource — so the Brotherhood's plans to reunite with its West Coast origins will have to wait. Donate a squad member's brain. This turns the Calculator into an ally capable of restoring the Midwest within the next decade or so. However, that person goes mad with power and secretly kills the Brotherhood leadership to rule alone. But at least it forbids mutant persecution out of expediency. Donate General Barnaky's brain. This is tricky, as the squad has to collect a memento from his corpse several missions earlier, carry it into battle against his cyborg boss form, and survive long enough for him to come to his senses. Same as #2, save he kills off the mutants. Donate a good squad member's brain. This is a cast-iron pain, as the Calculator's sub-brains are considered innocents who cost you loads of karma when you kill them. Same as #2, but the Calculator does not go mad with power and works with the Brotherhood leadership to heal the wastelands.

Good Is Not Nice: The Midwest Brotherhood in a nutshell, even dips into Designated Hero at times. Sure, they'll bring peace to the wasteland and protect your communities. And sure, they'll very willing to accept surrenders and offers of truce. But they'll still demand conscripts for their services, muscle their way into your territory, and even have labor camps for captured enemies and mutants in the Barnaky ending. In one instance they even force captured raiders and Beastlords to transport a radioactive nuke to an irradiated tunnel for safekeeping, but refuse to provide Rad-X or Radaway due to short supply.

Awesome, but Impractical
 Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae
comment
Awesome, but Impractical: Most non-human squadmates fall under this category. Ghoul recruits. Unless you focused your recruits towards specific skills only, then they will most likely have the highest skill percentages in several categories. However they cannot use lower to mid tier human armor, which is the only kind you'll have for a long time. The only armor they can use is rare or only available in the late game. They also cannot use weapons that use a specific sprite animation (heavy weapons). Due to a technical issue with the game engine, they are not immune to radiation. They also don't get perks as fast as humans. Finally several of them start with the "Glowing One" trait, which grants them small bonuses with the penalty of irradiating the rest of your squad, including other ghouls without the "Glowing One" trait. Deathclaw recruits. They are fast. They are strong. They are tough. They tear through metal armor and supermutant skin like tissue paper. Their blows have a knockdown effect that stunlocks anyone they hit. They have no weapons or armor whatsoever, require a lot of micromanaging, do not gain perks as fast, and show up just in time for the point where Big Guns become the alpha and omega. Dog recruits. Very similar to deathclaws, minus their durability, plus a higher perk rate and only available in multiplayer. Robot recruits. High damage resistance and can use any weapon effectively. However they have low health, do not receive any perks, and there's only one of them in single player.

Sorting Algorithm of Evil: You start out fighting rag-tag bands of outlaws and raiders. You then move on to the more organized beastmen, who have freaky mutation powers and deathclaw allies. Then you meet the remnants of The Master's army. They last just long enough to let you come into contact with the Reaver Movement, who are replaced by the Calculator and its robotic forces who were already hitting the Mutants and Reavers hard.

Boring, but Practical: Human recruits. Most don't really have anything special about them. What they do have is variety: variety of recruits to choose, variety of weapons they can use, variety of armor they can wear, variety of perks, and so on. It's telling how the player character can only be a human and the vast majority of recruits are human as well.

Enemy Mine: As things progress From Bad to Worse, the Midwestern Brotherhood expands their membership to former raiders, Ghouls, Super-Mutants (which are still on the Holy Genocide List back west), intelligent deathclaws, and even a robot not controlled by Calculator. Especially prominent with the Super-Mutants. The Brotherhood have never actively searched out ghouls to kill (they just have a nasty tendency to shoot first when they see them), and allying with deathclaws was never an option (what with them being non-sapient) before. Tracking down the remnants' of the Master's Army, on the other hand, was the official reason for the Brotherhood's expedition east in the first place.

Disc-One Nuke: Several Getting your hands on enough AK-47s to equip the entire squad allows to blow through the early game with ease, offering consistent firepower, burst option and loads of ammo. This can be done as early as the 3rd mission, and a single AK can be looted already in the 2nd mission. You can get an FN FAL as well as EMP shotgun shells if you get the merchant random encounter, the EMP shells let you bust the turrets in Preoria mission very easily. If you encounter the Brotherhood prison random encounter, you can kill the two paladins using poison or drug overdose and take their miniguns. If you encounter another merchant, his guards can be killed using drug overdose, and they carry Jackhammers, which let you make short work on deathclaws.

Save Scumming
 Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel (Video Game) / int_5cfeb43f
comment
The Kansas City mission is this in spades. To get the best ending to this mission, which unlocks ghoul recruits, every defender must live. Since the mission features waves of super-mutants going against lightly armored and armed ghouls, you will be Save Scumming quite often on this section. Oh, and the mutants begin their attack the moment you step on the field, and you are required to guard 4 entrances separated by long and windy sections of fencing. This leads to Guide Dang It! moments as the player figures out how to win this scenario (Hint: beginning turn-based combat IMMEDIATELY upon entering gives you a fighting chance.). At least the ghoul's AI is pretty good in this section, with the defenders using cover and not charging into the hordes of mutants.

As things progress From Bad to Worse, the Midwestern Brotherhood expands their membership to former raiders, Ghouls, Super-Mutants (which are still on the Holy Genocide List back west), intelligent deathclaws, and even a robot not controlled by Calculator.

A Tankard of Moose Urine: "XXXXXBeer" can be found in the sleeping raiders hut in Freeport. Its description says it's a very strong imported beernote most likely a reference to the bitter XXXX beer from Queensland, Australia that "Tastes a bit like weewee." There is also a new flavor of Nuka Cola available in the Midwest: Nuka-Yellow. It isn't lemon...

Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: Potentially your squad, but certainly the Midwest Brotherhood by necessity. After being cut off from the main branch back west the Brotherhood had to start conscripting local tribals to bolster their numbers. After that they start including friendly ghouls. Then they ally with intelligent deathclaws. Then they form an alliance with Super Mutants. Then form an uneasy truce with the Reaver Movement, a bunch of technology worshipping raiders. Finally they include salvaged humanoid robots.

Joke Item
 Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel (Video Game) / int_8af721f7
comment
Joke Item: The chauchat, a French WW1 light machine gun whose frequent jams have been flanderized to epic proportions. It can be found in a hidden cache, but it's not even usable as a melee weapon! To clarify, literally the only thing a character with it equipped can do is reload it, you won't even get any cash for selling it! There's also the Devilthorn Jacket, which isn't only a Shout-Out to Diablonote And, as it happens, an ersatz of the infamous unused Demonspike Coat set., but also the definition of Wrong Genre Savvy in this setting: while it costs a hefty price, it offers some powerful bonuses on top of being as durable as an Advanced Power Armor... Except it asks for a minimum of 75 STR to be equipped. In a game where the system caps at ten. Yep, you just got scammed by the Fourth Wall! And in case you think you can outsmart the joke by hacking this armor into one of your characters, you'll find out that not only it offers none of the bonuses stated in its description, it also plummets the character's agility to rock bottom. Hah hah!

Artificial Stupidity: Supermutants tend to do things like getting stuck in one place, charging at a vehicle with a melee weapon or shooting their own team members. And all enemies routinely fail spot checks regarding mines. AI pathfinding leaves something to be desired. Your team tend to march in a straight line, which can cause problems when you tell them to run but a unit that is winded or has a crippled leg is ahead of the rest of the team.

Rocky Mountain Refuge: The center of the entire Vault network is Vault 0, located in the Cheyenne Mountain Complex near Colorado Springs; it was one of the few Vaults not intended to be part of Vault-Tec's experiments carried out at the other Vaults, as that was where the most valuable scientists and advanced technology would be kept. Though things went horribly wrong anyway, after the Calculator went rogue and took over the Vault. However, once the Calculator is defeated, Cheyenne Mountain can also become the new base of operations for the Brotherhood of Steel.

Luck-Based Mission
 Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel (Video Game) / int_98b1dc8f
comment
Luck-Based Mission: Springfield. One squad of brotherhood soldiers, multiple hostage-taking situations each with enough enemies and hostages to outnumber your squad 2-to-1. And the hostage takers are all linked up by radio, so once you start shooting all hell breaks loose all over the map. Oh, and you have to save everyone. Good luck. The Kansas City mission is this in spades. To get the best ending to this mission, which unlocks ghoul recruits, every defender must live. Since the mission features waves of super-mutants going against lightly armored and armed ghouls, you will be Save Scumming quite often on this section. Oh, and the mutants begin their attack the moment you step on the field, and you are required to guard 4 entrances separated by long and windy sections of fencing. This leads to Guide Dang It! moments as the player figures out how to win this scenario (Hint: beginning turn-based combat IMMEDIATELY upon entering gives you a fighting chance.). At least the ghoul's AI is pretty good in this section, with the defenders using cover and not charging into the hordes of mutants.

Schmuck Bait: One of the supermutant missions features an entrenched group of the green nasties camped on a hill that overlooks a series of trenches and embankments. The path leading up to their camp is liberally covered in mines and the mutants have clear line of sight to far beyond the bottom of the hill (whereas you, the player, do not). This section isn't required for any objective and can be completely ignored, as the mutants will not come down the hill. "So, they must be guarding something good" will be the mindset of many players. Killing all of the mutants and clearing the camp yields about 10 rounds of 5.56 and 10 caps, plus whatever loot the mutants had. This is a seriously underwhelming prize.

Lethal Joke Item: The 'Mutate' perk. Worthless in Fallout and Fallout 2 where you pick your traits at the beginning of the game, unless you end up deeply regretting one of your trait choices. In this game however, it can be used to make all your squad members Gifted retroactively, and is well worth the perk slot. The water gun. It seems like as much of a toy as in real life, but you then realize that you can find bottles of concentrated acid lying around, and the robots aren't exactly acid-proof.

Authority Equals Asskicking: While most of your gear can be scavenged off enemies, the real good stuff can only be found from your bunker quartermasters. And you need to rise in the ranks before they'll start selling the good stuff. Which makes sense - much of this technology (like energy weapons) isn't exactly easy to use, and the player isn't the only one who needs it. Not to mention the last thing the brotherhood wants is for someone to run off with the Power Armor or something.

Wake-Up Call Boss: Macomb. Until this point, you could just move forward and shoot everything hostile in sight. If you try this on macomb, all raiders will get a first strike at you. Halfway through the mission, one of them is equipped with a rocket laucher (One-Hit Kill on low level armor like the ones you will likely be wearing at that point). To make things worse, there is another one near the end. Hope you put some point into sneak skill to sneak two guys behind him and shoot a burst. Quincy too, when earlier you can just go in guns blazing, this is the first time you encounter Deathclaws. That is, unless you are lucky enough and managed to get Auto Shotguns or Miniguns early.

comment
Well-Intentioned Extremist: The Midwestern Brotherhood is still a quasi-fascist militant organization with the goal of monopolizing all technology like its parent organization on the West Coast. Unlike the original BoS, they allow outsiders into their organization, operate similarly to the NCR in that they provide protection and aid to nearby tribes in return for manpower and supplies, and aim to share the technology they possess to their protectorates for the common good. In all of the endings they eventually transform the Midwest into a stable, secure place to live and share non-military technology with their protectorates, though they are still non-democratic.
