APOCALYPTIC CULT CLASSIC
Fallout 2 is the sequel to 1997's critically acclaimed Role Playing Game of the Year, which took RPGing out of the dungeons and into a dynamic apocalyptic retro-future. In the time since the Vault Dweller's exile in Fallout 1, a new government known as the New California Republic (abbreviated NCR) has begun to unify the towns in Southern California and is spreading to the north. A mysterious new organization known as the Enclave has emerged with the most sophisticated technology in the wastes, surpassing even the Brotherhood of Steel. Finally a new drug Jet has become a cancer on many towns with nearly a 100% addiction rate forcing many to rely on the town of New Reno to keep them supplied. The player, assuming the role of the Chosen One, is given nothing more than the Vault Dweller's jumpsuit, a RobCo PIPBoy 2000 handheld device, a Vault 13 water flask, and some cash to start on his mission.
