ABOUT FALLOUT
Fallout is a non-linear RPG with deep character creation and mature themes. Learn about its post-apocalyptic setting and your mission.
Fallout is a unique role-playing game (RPG) that distinguishes itself from many others on the market by offering multiple solutions to problems rather than a single path. You have the ability to create your own character, a feature not common in many RPGs, and its non-linear architecture significantly enhances replayability. The game presents numerous ways to approach specific challenges, and the sheer volume of sidequests makes it difficult for any single character to complete them all, further contributing to its replay value.
You are granted extensive freedom in Fallout. You can choose your own dialogue options and make your own decisions, deciding when and where to engage with the world. However, the core plot, which involves finding a replacement water chip, is linear and must be completed to finish the game.
Technically, Fallout is classified as a non-linear character role-playing game.
Fallout is a very violent game and deals with mature themes, including violence, drugs, adult language, and sex. This guide will also address these themes.
The setting of Fallout is after World War III, a global conflict that devastated much of the planet. Nations are embroiled in deep conflict following nuclear war fought over territory and resources. China invades Alaska, the United States conquers Canada, and the European Commonwealth devolves into a lawless community with warring nations vying for control of the western area. To safeguard its citizens, the United States constructed vaults, which are large, underground dwellings designed to protect inhabitants from radiation, chemical, and biological weapons.
Vaults are designed to house several hundred people. You originate from a vault known as Vault-13.
Your vault contains a water purification controller responsible for purifying all incoming water for consumption. Unfortunately, this controller chip has malfunctioned. Without a functioning chip, the vault's inhabitants will face a water shortage. You are selected to push into the outside world to find a replacement chip before your vault's water supply is depleted.
- Fallout offers significant freedom; explore different dialogue options and make choices that align with your character.
- The game's non-linear nature means many quests can be approached in multiple ways.
- Be prepared for mature themes, including violence and adult language, as they are integral to the game's narrative and setting.
- Completing sidequests can greatly increase the replay value of Fallout.
- Your primary objective is to find a replacement water chip for Vault-13.
