I think I see the problem, the tactics screen doesn't work with caps-lock on.

I laughed, hard.

Wow, just wow. To maybe try to help this so he doesn't keep going on and on. here's brief explanation of the tactics menu.

The tactics menu governs the basic AI of your companions that you are not directly influencing the actions of. So you can control one guy, while the other party members still use skills and healing as necessary on their own accord.

You can set these AI scripts or "tactics" in the tactics menu. In there, they give you some nice pre-made ones for you to begin with like "Defender". You would use the "Defender" tactic profile for somebody you want to...defend for your party. Pretty simple stuff. From there, if you choose, you can take it to the next level and create a custom "Tactic" profile. In these you choose certain battle conditions, and select a skill to accompany those battle conditions. So say a monster's hit points is 25% of his total health, you can select a skill you're pretty certain will finish most monsters off. Same for healing your own members, you select the party health range you want the skill to kick in at, and the healing ability to go with it.

That's it, you don't have to press anything in game. It will do it automatically for the characters you are not controlling. If you found the tactics system in this game difficult, I suggest you don't try your hand at Final Fantasy XII's gambit system. As it's this, but twenty times more indepth.

LOL... Confirmed troll. Please close...

EDIT : Sorry quoted the wrong post. Wanted to quote the post that had a link to TS BG2 thread.

tactics tells your party members what to do when your not controlling them...

all your party members are sensitive though, and dont like being yelled at. Try turning off the caps lock and maybe they will listen to you more.

[Boeresmurf]

seeing his bg2 post, which is a bloody easy game to play if ya ever played a game which uses character leveling and simple : stat / inventory / ability tabs, i can only conclude this person is a profesional whiner



"try using pause game, if ya dont get the tactic commands"

[Ghandorian]

lmao. It's hard to tell if he is that simple minded or really pulling everyones leg. Well done!

[Nibben]

loads of posts in capitals and letting off steam is one thing but that oversteps the mark!

Heh, man I love the report button.  Hopefully you get banned for this childish tirade.  But seriously though, if a game is making you rage like this, perhaps you should step away from the computer/console.

*dam, fodder you beat me to it*

I don't think anything we say to him will help. He doesn't understand basic logic. There are lots of people who have explained it in a clear and concise manner and he says that they are being cryptic. It's like trying to describe to someone what a key is when they have no concept of locks.

If you are still reading this, here is some help. Although you really do want to take the CAPS LOCK off. Yelling in the forum is bad manners.



Open the TACTICS menu.

You can set the tactics for anyone. There is a picture of the person you are playing on the left. If you look above that picture there is a scroll bar. I did not notice it right away. You can scroll between all the characters.

Underneath there are several drop down menu options. There are 3 or more tiers you can set.

If you do not want to get specific the top most menue gives a generic order.

The next part of the menues is a bit more complex, but you really can test them out and see how and NPC fares when the tactic you set up is in action.

Since you will have a mixture of magic, melee, and ranged there a multitude of selections that can occur.

One of my melee characters is set to pounce on any create that has health less than 75% basically I want this NPC to assist in downing an opponent quickly.

One of the other characters is a ranged person or BOW - I utilize him in the same way - except I have him attack casters first, then any enemy less than 75% health, again trying down creatures quickly.

Mages & healers are trickier and I am still working on a good strategy, short of taking over the play while the melee people do thier thing.

The menues have sub menues to choose from - look at each sub menu and the choices you have, and by god there are a lot of choices. So start with the simple ones first. Work with the melee people and try just assist tactics or if your play style is more aggressive have them attack on thier own. Be aware that if you do not pair up on the enemy you may start losing companions quickly. I have found that ganging up on a single opponent and downing them quickly almost garauntees a win every time.

Again I have only played for about 20 hours or so and for the most part I used "CANNED" tactics as I test out different strategies. Not all tactics will work for every melee person either. As thier skills will come into play.

Keeping in mind that there are the Sword & Sheild fighters, Two weapons fighters, and Two Handed fighters. You do not want the Two Handed fighter trying to be defensive, he is the damage dealer. What you would want him to do is constantly look for those that are 50% health or less so that he can finish them off VERY quickly.

I am hoping this helps. The key is noticing the scroll bar on the left side of the book so you can choose characters, after that look what options you have in each menu for the actions that fit best with your play.

Take a look and if you have more questions give me a shout - but please dont really shout!

Thanx

I want to respond to help...to amuse myself I guess. But I can't figure out how someone can not understand it. I do not have any programming background what-so-ever, and this stuff is easy. I suppose the best way is to look at one of your party member's AI schemes, and look at the cause->effect side. It works like a flow chart. It reminds me of the contigency spell in BG2.

[Lominia]

have a look at this utube vid. go to the 9:09 point. the tactics menu is up.

www.youtube.com/watch

i haven't played yet but it looks straight forward from this. run the mouse over the box, other options come up, run the mouse over the option you want, health in this case. click on the % & you're done..

it looks like  nice, simple interface to me.

DUDE I TOTALLY AGREE. I WANT A REFUND TOO. I AM GOING TO GET A REFUND FOR THE LAME BACKGROUNDS THAT YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE IN THE CHARACTER CREATOR....UN-PLAYABLE.

[Loetek]

Guys stop posting... I just read this from the beginning and he is def a troll. Thats why he is no longer posting on this thread... because you guys fell for it and broke it down to a third grade level. He wins.

[Venthiros]

Wow what a failure to humanity.

[thedge777]

If it upsets you that bad I suggest you step away from your caps locked keyboard and do something that calms you down.

[dweber77]

WITH ALL THE CAPS LOCK FUN GOING ON THIS MUST BE A TRIBUTE THREAD TO BILLY MAYS!!!!

[Shinobi-Kun]

Pics or it didn't happen.......

[dtsazza]

OP needs to calm down, stop feeling persecuted and start working things out with common sense.



BUT I'M UP FOR THE PARTY, WILL THERE BE PIE?

[Sansin]

Huh? Works fine for me...
