Encounters in RT while default combat mode TB

[Kelin]

And could I encounter TB mode when I have set RT mode strictly?

No, you can't.

In this case, this is a legit bug.

I don't think so, technically you don't encounter RT, when someone has RT mode in his config and he creates an encounter, you will never encounter him if you have TB mode. Only those who have both modes can be encountered by both, rt and tb users (basically by everyone).

If someone has Both modes set, then he creates RT encounters. If I have TB mode set, I should not encounter him, because I only want to encounter TB mode. But from my experience, I have encountered RT encounters with people twice, therefore I suggest this is a bug.

I was just now forced into an encounter in RT even though I have it set to TB only. Was in the area directly around Necropolis, "You encounter: Scavengers, and Perkeleen Ukko."

This is clearly a bug, unless it is intended.
Definitely not a lot of fun when you have only ever used TB.

At least I was able to run away with my tail between my legs before he noticed.

I think it's because RT is generally believed to be a default combat mode. TB is just a legacy mode from original Fallout games and is used solely for farming and making traps.
