The allies in Fallout 2 are also pretty stupid, but you can atleast turn off there burst mode (well some atleast), but whenever they start bursting, chances are still big you get hit.
And the thing I like about this game is that we can fully concentrate on 1 character wich is cool. (No poundering about who to take with ya <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> )
