Title: Merc Command
Post by: Slaver Snipe on September 05, 2010, 11:07:35 am
I was thinking, how about a command where you tell mercs NOT to burst or a kind of combat control sheet like the one that was in the original fallout?

Probably they couldnt simply adapt the graphics or it would need cvets intervention, anyway there must be a reason not to implement the graphic but the choices should have been copied via tex dialog options. But again, a lot of work

They were pretty good prewipe, but they chased their oponents to much when they were still perfectly in range or not even moving.

When was this? There was a bug which should be resolved now. If this happens again, report it.

I don't know why there is a suggestions forum.  I've yet to see one suggestion implemented... even the good ones (maybe especially the good ones).

But yes, The Merc AI is freaking horrible.  It reminds me of Fallout 1 when Ian would always trap you in a corner, then you had to blast him to get out... and of course he always bursted the hell out of you whenever you gave him his "favorite" weapon.

Yes, this suggestion most probably will be implemented.
