Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel

Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel, better known as simply 'Fallout Tactics, is a turn-based/real-time tactical role-playing game based in the post-apocalyptic Fallout universe. Developed by Micro Forté and published by 14 Degrees East, Fallout Tactics was released on 14 March 2001 for PC. The game follows a squad in the fictional Brotherhood of Steel as it becomes engaged in a desperate war. Although the game takes place in the Fallout universe, it does not follow or continue the story of either Fallout or Fallout 2. Fallout Tactics shipped with a bonus CD when it was pre-ordered. The bonus CD included Fallout: Warfare, a table-top miniatures game based on the Fallout universe, as well as a bonus mission for the main game which occurs in Springfield.

Due to contradictions with the story and setting of those games, the original Fallout creators and, initially, the creators of Fallout 3 considered Fallout Tactics non-canon. With the release of Fallout 3 by Bethesda Softworks, however, the existence of the game's Brotherhood splinter faction is considered at least semi-canon, with Brotherhood of Steel members in-game explaining that the Chicago-based Brotherhood featured in Fallout Tactics "...went rogue. Long story."

Famous quotes containing the words brotherhood and/or steel:

    “It has been the struggle between privileged men who have managed to get hold of the levers of power and the people in general with their vague and changing aspirations for equality, for justice, for some kind of gentler brotherhood and peace, which has kept that balance of forces we call our system of government in equilibrium.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “For when they meet, the tensile air
    Like fine steel strains under the weight
    Of messages that both hearts bear—
    Pure passion once, now purest hate....”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
