The main quest in the game involves you hunting down your father, who is voiced by Liam Neeson, and then assisting him in completing his life’s work, which is to restore a source of clean water to the Capitol Wasteland. And so off you go into the wild brown yonder, to do good or ill along the way to finding your father and giving him what for. What will you do? Why of course you’ll go after your Dad, it’s dangerous out there you know? He could get hurt. Finally you’re 19, and you are awaked by your friend, who tells you your Dad has escaped the vault and the Overseer is looking for you. Flash forward once more and you are now 16, and ready to take your GOAT test, which determines what your job will be for the rest of your life inside the Vault. You meet the people of Vault 101, which is your home. You celebrate your birthday by getting your very own Pip-Boy PDA type device. Flash forward once again and you are now 10 years old. You just learned to walk, and baby gates are no barrier to you. There is a flash forward effect, and you are now a bright and precocious one year old. There are unfortunate complications (which sadly don’t involve you being able to pee on your dad for comedic effect). The first scene in the game is from your perspective as your father holds you, just having delivered you. The game starts you out as a young baby, just having emerged from your mother’s womb. Could an area which was so prominent a target as Washington even survive a nuclear exchange? What would it look like? Now we have Fallout 3, which switches the West coast for Washington DC, and switches developers due to the bankruptcy of Interplay. Another took place in Chicago but isn’t really considered cannon.
What would the world be like after a radiation bath? Could humanity survive? Would it prosper? The first two games in the series took place in California. The Fallout series takes a look at what would have happened if things hadn’t turned out so rosily. Mutually Assured Destruction kept the world at peace, and still does in a sense, for 50 years. The United States and Soviet Union, and all their satellite nations amassed vast quantities of nuclear weapons, with the sole intention of being able to wipe the other side off the face of the map should they chose to use their own weapons first. Just like you and I assume there will be a sunrise and a sunset, so too did people of that era assume that one day there would be a vastly different sunrise. r/Wasteland - A subreddit for the Wasteland games.There was a time there during the 1950s and 1960s when people were expecting WWIII to be fought using atomic weapons. r/thefalloutdiaries - Journal-like fan fiction. r/falloutmods - Fallout modding community r/classicfallout - Classic Fallout Games r/falloutlore - The lore of the Fallout series Piracy is a permanent ban, no warnings.Īll posts and comments in end, come down to moderator discretion.
