(micro-review)

Release date: 01-Dec-1998 ;

Game progression: finished ;

Overview:

Fallout® 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed game that took RPG'ing out of the dungeons and into a dynamic, apocalyptic retro-future.
It's been 80 long years since your ancestors trod across the wastelands. As you search for the Garden of Eden Creation Kit to save your primitive village, your path is strewn with crippling radiation, megalomaniac mutants, and a relentless stream of lies, deceit and treachery. You begin to wonder if anyone really stands to gain anything from this brave new world.
Mastering your character's skills and traits for survival, Fallout® 2 will challenge you to endure in a post-nuclear world whose future withers with every passing moment...

Story:

In 2241, the primitive Arroyo suffers the worst drought on record. Faced with the calamity, the village elder asks the direct descendant of the Vault Dweller, referred to as the Chosen One, to perform the quest of retrieving a Garden of Eden Creation Kit (GECK) for Arroyo. The GECK is a device that can create thriving communities out of the post-apocalyptic wasteland. 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, a spear and some cash to start on his mission.

In the beginning, I felt like even a pebble could crush me... if only I had a gun, maybe then I would stand a chance in this harsh world. I met a guy, not a nice guy but not terribly bad either, he had a gun. I started justifying murder in my head, thinking that it's OK to take a life if that would lead to me saving many other. So after a lot of hesitation I did it. But now, doubt and guilt were the only things in my head. This is Fallout 2.

Pros: amazing atmosphere, lots of stories, decisions and possibilities..

Cons: misses some quality of life improvements.

Rating: Virgin of the Wastes - You really need to get out more. Your sexual exploits have been...well, two dimensional.
