You go there and shoot the other guy in the funnier hat. You stand still and look angry. And so on and so forth. It really isn't so bad when you're only facing a small handful of grunts, but anything more spells disaster. Thank goodness for idiot enemies, though, because if the bad guys were smarter than a box of rocks, this game would be damn near impossible to handle in CTB mode.
Enemies often display random acts of stupidity, like standing idly by as their buddies get shot.
Occasionally, some will show a glimmer of intelligence and duck behind a crate, but it looks like all of that radiation has done a number on the ol' brain cells. The terrible AI also impacts your own units due to generally bad pathfinding. After getting caught behind countless objects and running off to the wrong place, players will definitely have to hold everyone's hand to ensure the safety of the class. At least the wonderful depth of the series is still intact. Even though Tactics is primarily a strategy game, the RPG core of Fallout is very much alive.
