Hey,
I'm wondering why I can't seem to get into Fallout, as I like apocalyptic setting above all and I'm really fond of turn-based 4X strategy games, such as Master of Orion and Civilization, or chess, if board games count. I also like isometric view lots. But I'm not the biggest fan of roleplaying games, or my standards are just very high, and when you combine that with turn-baseness, I get quickly bored. My problem with a lot of turn-based games is that there just isn't enough to do, so I find myself spamming 'next turn' or doing same action constantly, this same problem exists with a lot of strategy games, even though the genre is dear to me. I feel that with turn-based games, the brain should be making critical decisions every turn, rather than focus on thinking about something between nothing, boobs and spamming turn-button.
So, I don't know, should I try to get bit further in the game, will the tactical combat get more interesting then? Some puzzles to solve at least? I just really like at least bit of challenge, that's also one reason why I have hard time starting out games, as they beginning are always made too easy, especially in RPG's, of which attraction is more the story rather than interesting mechanics, and I only like well-thought-out, really twisted stories. I so, so rarely run into games or books of which story would catch my attention. Don't know why, perhaps I just am too realistic person to want to dwell in fantasy for a moment. That's bit contradictory though, as for long time I thought I'm absent-minded, bit escapist type of person sometimes. People change, I guess... but war never changes, right?!
