I didn't think combat was bad at all. The problem was in the attempt to balance the system melee was overpowered and guns were nerfed. Then Troika called out the publisher publicly when everyone forgot to check if there was money stipulated for a patch. The RT combat was an attempt to placate modern gamers. You will recall how much everyone hated TB at the time; except us of course.
That said, the game is so moddable there were some good balance mods made to fix it IIRC.
There was also one mod where the guy was dedicated to fixing every bug in the game. Is that what this is? I remember he made no attempt whatsoever to fix the balancing issues or make his mod compatible to the existing ones so, to me, it was unplayable.

Also, it was called it for its ugly graphics. I never minded it. It was meant to remind you of Fallout. Its too bad the demo wasn't representative of the depth of the game and especially that it was leaked so early by someone from one of their foreign localizers - that must have hurt sales pretty bad - also affected QA with the balance issues, etc. still in the game (and the lousy decision to require dx8 when it wasn't fully tested for it).
