well that sucks because thats what I hated about Fallout. Why is it that these game companies like to try to make short cuts in combat? you know the short cuts I'm talking about,like in Arcanum once you started combat you and your followers were commited to it untill they were all dead or you were or what ever you were fighting and all their friends were dead. then in Fallout once you started a fight you had very little control and every thing would attack at the same time.
I did like the way Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 set up there fighting mode, you always had control of all the NPCs on your Team. Meaning that if you wanted to run back to a more stratigic position you could and then you could set your Tanks up front with your Cleric and mages back out of harms way casting spells and then your archers set to pick off the bad guys from high ground,nobody tries to stand their ground when they are out numbered 10 to 1 and then only swing once and let the computer fight the battle for them.
I'll spend over $400.00 0n PC games this year and if Lionheart uses the one hit left click fight to the death system then I'll spend my money on some other games like Grayhawk and Morrowinds next expansion and pass on Lionheart just like I passed on War Craft III.
