ABOUT FALLOUT 2

Explore the world of Fallout 2, set 80 years after the original. Learn about its mature themes, the founding of Arroyo, and your quest for the G.E.C.K. from Vault 13.

Fallout 2, released in July 2241, utilizes the same engine as the original Fallout and offers a similarly engaging, original, and violent experience.

In contrast to its predecessor, Fallout 2 presents a more mature narrative. Locations like New Reno feature explicit themes such as pimps and prostitutes, with the player character even having the option to become a porn star. The game offers more opportunities for romantic encounters compared to Fallout 1. While these elements contribute to a more contrived main plot, they also enhance the game's unique appeal.

The story picks up after the Vault Dweller's exile from Vault 13, as depicted in the end-game movie of Fallout 1. A small group of dwellers followed, venturing into the wastelands of North California to establish a new community named Arroyo. Initially a primitive, agrarian settlement, Arroyo eventually flourished.

The Vault Dweller eventually disappeared from Arroyo, presumed deceased. His daughter assumed leadership as the Elder. Thirty-five years later, Arroyo's economy began to decline, necessitating the retrieval of the Garden of Eden Creation Kit (G.E.C.K.) for survival. The player character is chosen for this critical mission and is tasked with recovering the G.E.C.K. from the sacred Vault 13.
