A playthrough of Fallout Tactics, the third title of the Fallout game franchise that came out in 2001. While a "Fallout" game, Fallout Tactics is considered non-canon in the Fallout franchise established by the numbered titles, though some parts of the story told by the Brotherhood of Steel focused game have been integrated into the storyline as suggested in Fallout 3.

Looking back it's hard to believe I spend so much time in one session just going through random encounters. Vanilla settings for Fallout Tactics results in a ridiculously high amount of random encounters, making exploration next to impossible unless you want to spend a lot of time just clicking "No," to the encounter messages like you're getting spammed with pop-ups at a shady website (if you have a character with high enough levels of outdoorsman skill).

Another issue is that there is a limited amount of ammunition in Fallout Tactics, making it unlikely you'll be able to keep exploring forever and fighting random battles, unless your squad relies on melee weapons and manages to stay unharmed or at least alive in battles. Random encounters with enemies that drop ammo are rare and the barter system is made so that when trading the same items over and over, the value decreases and makes looting everything unnecessary unless you want a few extra hundred brotherhood scripts.

While using single-shot weapons such as sniper rifles can help conserve ammo, such practices just slows down the inevitable. It's only towards the end-game that some maps feature enemies that drop a ton of ammo, but at that point it's too little too late.
