Liner Notes: Important Game Tip!!
This means that unlike most other RPGs you've played, you must manage each member of your team as an individual. Remember, the FARSCAPE crew is a motley band of renegades. They are not a trained group of soldiers who know how to think and act as one. So, by design, you must play this game by switching control of your characters often, figuring out the best way to use their different skills and personalities for the task at hand. Follow these tips and you will find success playing FARSCAPE: The Game
