DESCRIPTION

Based on the now classic Wasteland, Fallout is a role-playing game set in a post-nuclear environment. The story picks up years after a two-hour nuclear Armageddon reduced the world to a pile of rubble and debris. Nearly a thousand people were packed into various Vault-Tec survival shelters completed in the late 21st century. Close to eighty years have passed with no knowledge of the outside post-apocalyptic world. You are one of a group of survivors in Vault 13 and the water recycling system is failing. It's time to send someone out of the vault, into the unknown wastelands in an effort to find replacement parts or other survivors. You've been chosen.

Using or modifying one of three pre-generated characters (diplomatic, combative, or deceptive) or building your own character from scratch, you embark on a complex journey. You'll traverse through devastated sites and locations; discovering, exploring, and confronting whatever dangers (violence, gangs, and mutants, to name a few) have developed after eighty years of radiation contamination.

Fallout uses a tactical turn-based combat system and provides a huge array of weaponry (from brass knuckles to rocket launchers). Featuring more than fifty quests, RPG staples such as character skill improvements and ability modifiers allowing your character to grow, and an innovative survivor's guide, Fallout provides a rich, rewarding excursion into the land of the lost.

Do you have what it takes to survive in a mutating world? ~ Michael L. House, All Game Guide

“Streamed it. Started a new character, a melee focused one. Oddly I like the game a lot more when I've got a melee character, even though it's still pretty insanely hard. It was better than usual...”

“I'm not gonna bother with the beta sign up, with the lawsuit going on.

Plus it says Fallout is owned by Bethesda in the fine print at the bottom, that can't be a good sign.”

“resident evil 5

that game is a joke of a resident evil”

rawkr was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@hashiasin You can't put down 5 without putting down 4. 4 had practically the same design. And it was still a good game regardless if it was a good Resident Evil.”
