Oh, here we go again. I have had to tell this a million times why things like talking deathclaws, blimps and vault 0 don't belong but i'll do it again.

First, the chronology of the games.
Production
Fallout 1 - Fallout 2 - Fallout tactics
Fallout timeline
Fallout 1 - 40 years - Fallout tactics - 40 years - Fallout 2

Talking deathclaws. If you play Fallout 2, i think it's Goris who gives you this information, you will notice that the deatclaws' intelligence was given to them by the enclave after they found the military base. He also tells you that they only recently gained that intelligence. Secondly, the Enclave may have done some testing before, wich in itself is a debatable point, but that does not explain how they got their. They may have migrated but then again, if you test something, you're going to use a smallish amount of test subjects. Remember that the deathclaws in Fallout 2 were only a small group and the other deathclaws you encounter are not intelligent while in Fallout tactics every damn one of them has increased intelligence. It just doesn't make sense.

Blimps. The BOS in Fallout 2 tell you that, up untill that time, they had no means of transport. NO MEANS. How do they all of a sudden have blimps 40 years earlier. The vertibirds are an Enclave 'invention' that the BOS did not have. And seeing as Fallout tactics is about the BOS........

Vault 0. The president in Fallout 2 tells you that the vaults were an experiment. Their experiment. How come we all of a sudden have a supercomputer who was supposed to reunite the world. Either it's the Enclave that was using the vaults as an experiment or the computer but having both is .....odd.

It's not the Fallout tactics haters that have this opinion. Most Fallout fans share this opinion. I propose you post the same thing on a Fallout fanboard like NMA or DAC and see what these people have to say.
