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

[Azira]

Checked Todd quickly and he seems to be a proper build - SMs do not seem to have more Character Points than regular humans (as Ghouls do)...

True. They just start with str 8, end 6, and agi and int 3, have their max scores adjusted accordingly. So Todd is incredibly agile as a supermutant, but just slightly stronger than the average one.

Well, I planned that character so that he was able to spam as many burst attacks as possible (specially after using the Psycho drug), besides, we don't need a close-combat specialist anyways.

PS: Originally his INT was supposed to be 3 or lower but the perks required a higher score.

Pvt. Obvious, reporting for duty

This thread could do with some more unacceptable behaviour, so feel free to dose him up regularly on anything you want. Like, even LSD or 'shrooms, man

 

[Infantryman]

And what about herr Otto von Panzerfaust? What is his place in the queue?

I will try to kill Gramps ASAP because of his total suckitude (low AP, no ctiticals).

Aw man... You're not seriously going to let a ghoul into our squad, are you?

Just as I suspected, starting some time ago TinyPic (or to be specific, Photobucket) started to convert uploaded images to lower quality.

Less than a week ago this screen looked like this (195 KB when saved):

Now it looks like this (90 KB when saved):

So, from now on I bid Tinypic and Photobucket (their current owner) farewell:

Fuck you for screwing up my images, I hope that you fucking die, assimiliated by Failbook or something even worse! Die in fire you fucking cocksucking motherfucking cunts!!!



I'm gonna switch to ImageShack or Wordpress - anybody has any tips, for example do they delete images after certain time?

Mission 16 - Newton

General Dekker

At ease, Warrior. I have mixed news to give!

A Reaver delegate arrived earlier today bringing news that a large robot force has all but annihilated the main Reaver camp in Newton. The Reaver's numbers have been devastated by relentless attacks and will soon be destroyed unless we intervene. Normally, the Brotherhood would gladly allow one enemy to destroy another, but the Reavers have something to offer.

The Reaver Movement has developed a new type of weapon based on robot pieces that they've been able to scavenge. This weapon is called an EMP device and it has a devastating effect on electronics.  It is this weapon that is allowing the Reavers to survive a mass robot attack, but for them it is still "too little, too late."

They have agreed to give the Brotherhood both a prototype of this weapon and instruction on its workings in exchange for rescue of their four highest-ranking officials in Newton's Junk City.

This might be the edge we're looking for against the robots. Bring back that prototype, Brother. You will be supplied with a map to Newton. Rendezvous at the extraction zone with all four Elders and they will be transported via APC and armored escort back here.

Dismissed.

Lette finds a new toy right away:

Too bad that it's heavily damaged ATM.
The entire squad moves south. There's a building with two entrances there, guarded by two robots.
Bro and Lette move to the southern entrance, other units move close to the northern one.
Lette attacks the robot in SE corner:

Four snipers join her. Monkey and Bro loose some health, WC takes the robot out:

root tries to attack the other robot using Grenade Launcher, but has some problems:

Lette tries to reach the enemy using third entrance (to the east), Gramps moves close but due to his low APs he's unable to play shoot and crouch
Bro acts as spotter, root, Monkey and WC play shoot and hide:

Gramps tries to use Rocket Launcher, fails horribly almost killing himself:

That's why I prefer Machine Guns...
Monkey kills the robot finally

Monkey does the healing. It's time to split.
Lette, root and WC will check 2nd floor of the building using stairs.
Other units will do the same using the external ladder.
Monkey climbs the ladder, shit hits the fan:

One security bot and three hover bots appear!
Monkey attacks the hover bots, Bro tests his new gun

root decies to help Bro's group. Gramps hits the security bot, but is unable to kill him.
Lette moves to the 2nd floor - it looks clear (except the guard outside, who was spotted by Monkey earlier):

Monkey continues shooting hover bots

root snipes the shit out of the security bot

Monkey attacks the guard to the north (WC visible to the east) - hover bots went into hiding.

Bro and Gramps continue south - killing three hover bots should be a piece of cake...

Lette finds her first spider bot

Since Bro and Monkey are in the line of fire, she switches to the RL:

-130 HP but the little guy is still alive.
One of the hover bots shows up close to our units and gets blown to pieces by Gramps

WC rapes the guard through the window (he gets critical with almost every shot )

Too bad that Monkey and root are unable to get the job done - WC is a sitting duck now.
Lette shoots the guard too, but misses:

Warcupine takes some light damage, kills the enemy:

Looks like serious fucking leak, IMO. :D
Bro tries to play "show up and hide before enemies hit you" with two hover bots. He's totally successful:

root kills the spider bot

Lette tries to reach the ladder leading to the roof. Another spider bot is there:

Gramps bravely rushes south, blows up a hover bot

root and Monkey fail at killing the spider bot, Lette has to waste some .50 ammo:

Gramps does the same killing the remaining hover bot

Fuckers were probably out of rockets anyway
WC continues west, finds something interesting:

There are also some hover bots there.



It's time for root to fix the tank (we have only one Super Repair Kit, but it's enough for root):

root, Lette and Gramps board the tank. Too bad that we don't have the ammo:

The plan is as follows:
Monkey, Bro and WC will access next building starting from the second floor

The other group will use the ground floor

Dismissed!

 

[Oesophagus]

Are you playing with the 1.13 patch? Cause that makes some enemies' corpses unpassable. I remember blocking the way for the tank with a dead lifter robot a few times in this level - so mind where you kill them!

 

[spekkio]

Thanks for the tip, I try to save once in a while to avoid such situations.

 

[marooned]

I specially remember that first fucker with the minigun when solo'ing this mission.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Yay, fun!
Boom boom pew pew and shit.

(I feel your pain re: imagehosts, spek-kun, but ain't got no advice to share.)

 

[Ulminati]

WC rapes the guard through the window (he gets critical with almost every shot )

Just doing mah duty, sah!

instead of

Unless I missed something.

 

[marooned]

"Better Criticals" in Fallout Tactics really sucks. Better perks are More Criticals and Bonus Ranged Damage by far.

Funny how so many "killer perks" from the first two FO were nerfed so much that they became useless in FOT.

 

[Yeesh]

 

[spekkio]

@ Cassidy:

Better Criticals: Doesn't seem to work?
(GUILER SAYS: compared with F2, this perk is a crock; no instant death if >100. The only difference I noted was that I always did damage with knockdowns, as opposed to people without it who sometimes did knock downs w/o damage)

It looks broken, same way as Sniper. BRD works 100%.



@root: I was certain that with such low HP root will not survive long. But thank to his amazing sniper skills, he was able to successfully keep his distance from enemies.
So far at last...

 

[ghostdog]

Blood god demands more blood.

 

[Black]

Spekkio, you're gonna LP The Twitcher 2 on iron man when it comes out.
Just so you know, it's not like you're going to be busy.

 

[spekkio]

Tough Hide

Fail. EN must be >8.



Everything else is kosher. Say hello to Todd:

Check if he's correct.
I've noticed that some SM recruits have increased resistances, but some haven't. I've decided to set all of them to 0 - he has a SM Armour equipped, after all...

 

[spekkio]

We should start with Bro's team. He goes first:

A spider bot tries to surprise buttsex him. Other units are unable to help:

Bro gets raped. He withdraws:

Monkey and WC rape the bot back

Monkey bravely rushes in, finds first Reaver Commander:

Glenda Close

I am Glenda Close, First Doctor of the Movement! I...(sharp breath) and I am honoured to meet your acquaintance, Beautiful One.

I apologize for my words but, you seem an incandescent angel in a time shadowed with darkness. I can feel your energy pulsating within me like an out-of-phase inductor!

Lead me to safety while my feet still obey my brain's electro-commands!

(whispers) "You must have been sent by His capacitance".

(spoken to the sky) I welcome your gift, Holy One.

It looks like she likes Monkey!

That will have to wait - we should clean the area first.
Starting with the two campers who lurk nearby:

The northern door are not only booby-trapped and locked, but also unpickable!

We have to use the other door. Monkey moves first, gets shot by two enemies, hits the more dangerous one (minigun):

We play with these guys for awhile, which ends badly for Bro - enemy decided to pay us a visit while we were doing First Aid:

WC kills this enemy (another critical)

Monkey tries to solo the other one, but bastard is skilled in EW:

We do some healing, WC takes the robot out (with some help from Monkey):

We heal some more, Bro opens the door leading outside

Lulz. WC helps Bro, security bot hides. Bro runs out of AP right in front of enemy:

WC helps him once more

Bro and WC try to do some reckon, when suddenly:

Thank god that Bro was in aggressive mode.
Poor robot doesn't have a chance now - attacking three snipers using a melee weapon is not best idea:

root drives the tank in at last

WC first cripples the Tank Bot, then knocks it out

:clap:

Lette kills two hover bots

Monkey joins Bro and WC as the 3rd rapist.
Lette leaves the Tank looking for remaining hover bots. They find her first:

Revenge time:

Monkey breaks the tank bot some more

WC doesn't want to be worse

Poor bastard...
Monkey puts him out of his misery

Monkey goes back to Glenda and escorts her back to the Extraction Point

Glenda Close

You have brought me to this safe haven and for that, I thank you.

I don't know how to begin explaining this passionate energy between us, except to tell you... "I love you."  And if you search your soul, you'll find that you possess the same love for me!

The differences of our backgrounds and various communicable diseases will be difficult problems to overcome, but with us working together, Satansoft himself could not bar our way!

I'll wait for you inside your quarters back at your main base.

Take care My Love.

It looks that he's fucked.

Other units board the tank and go back to the main road. Monkey is late:

Well, somebody has to scout the area...

 

[Azira]

You did that on purpose you sick bastard..

Great update Spekkio! Here's some from his capacitance... Let not Satansoft stand in your way of additional updates.

 

[Oesophagus]

Looks like Monkey's on the make

 

[Crooked Bee]

Great update Spekkio! Here's some

+1

Waiting for a weekend update.
