Please name one good game that Troika have made.
They are all boring combat simulators.
As you noted they are also totally sh.t programmers who make the worst

whichever studio it'll be we better find it asap so we can go spam their
forums telling them how they're supposed to make the game, like proper
fallout fans do ;)

I like Arcanum very much indeed. Probably as much as fallout, truth be
told. But then I've always been a fan of victorian sci-fi stuff, so a game
with magic and steam age technology was something I took a liking too almost
immediately.
Bugs and warts and all.
