DISCLAIMER: I'm fully aware that Bethesda Executive Todd Howard has stated that he does not consider Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel or Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel to be canonical to the Fallout Franchise as of the Bethesda Game Studios release of Fallout 3 which took over as the primary continuation of the Fallout Franchise in place of the cancelled 'Fallout 3' title codenamed 'Van Buren' originally created by Black Isle Studios prior to being bought out by Bethesda.
