Released in 2001 by Interplay Entertainment, Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel is the 3rd game in the Fallout series. This is also turn-based, just like Fallout and Fallout 2, and you can also control a whole group of people at the same time for the first time in Fallout history. Unlike Fallout 1 and 2, however, this game is considered non-canon (not a real story in the Fallout timeline) and is only available on Microsoft Windows and not Mac. Instead of following the Enclave this time around, this game is primarily about the Brotherhood of Steel, a group of ex-military men who want to restore a good sense of order to the world. However, some of the members wanted as many good people as possible to join, and others hated the idea of any outsider joining. The people who didn’t want outsiders won over the people who wanted them, and those people left to patrol other areas. One patrol crashed in Chicago, and not wanting help from the other group, created a new branch of the Brotherhood of Steel there, while slowly taking over the Midwestern United States and recruiting lots of people to achieve that goal. Their goal was to take over parts of the US to safely get to Vault Zero, which was the primary vault for many scientists and government officials, and had insanely advanced technology, and use it as their main base of operations. Along the way, the Brotherhood of Steel encounters beastlords (guys who tame mutated animals), super mutants, deathclaws (giant, fast, agile, and mutated chameleons with no color change ability), raiders, and deadly robots that have been destroying everything and everyone in their path.
There was also a game for Xbox and PS2 in 2004 named Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel (4th game in the series) that was sort of like this, but with a shorter story and different characters, and was rated horribly compared to the other Fallout games for its lack of freedom and its use of a lot of curse words. Fallout Tactics also spawned a board game named Fallout: Warfare, and it is a tabletop version of Fallout Tactics.
