Because - as Graf wrote above - the FOnline engine supports tiles, critters, etc. from Tactics.

Didnt FoT itself have such feature? ;)

It has, but very, very, very poor in term of possible options :/ I was thinking about mode more similiar to Persistent Worlds. You know - lvling up, fighting and stuff (not using premade characters)

But enough of this offtopic.

It support tiles etc, but does it support the different heights/levels?

Take a closer look at the video again. The player is moving to the place, which is over the ground level. So I assume, that the engine itself (by default) can't do it, but this feature could be implemented.

These are "just" fake multilevel maps, done via some graphical tricks and illusions, not a real native tactics multilayer map.

Can it be implemented for 2D characters from Fallout 1/2 and 3D characters?

There is no need to "implement" anything, it just needs a good mapper guy/gal.

I've spotted a small bug. Though I'm not sure if it's an animation issue or bug in the engine itself.

In knocked-out state, the player shouldn't have any weapon in the hand anyway. :p

(Same with running, picking stuff up, using something, etc)

Why not? In my opinion it looks very nice. It just needs some little tweaks.

I think it might cause clipping problems, particularly with walls.

Not just that. Having weapons visible in the hands in every pose also requires lots of new animations for these cases and this really has no priority none whatsoever, as not even the really needed animations are done.

It looks rather silly too, especially in the example you provided, holding a big gun in only one hand as if it's made out of paperwork.
I'm with Lexx, I don't think that we need that.
