This leaves the entire Vault in upheaval, and forces you to follow his path. Overbearing leaders and crushing tedium aside, life is okay in the Vault, until your beloved father breaks out in pursuit of some unknown goal. Because in Vault 101, no one ever enters, and no one ever leaves.” “It is here you were born, it is here you will die.
It is in one of these that your character is born, and you go through all of life indoctrinated into the Vault mindset. It’s not known who was first to resort to the nuclear option, only that within a few short hours the world was reduced to scraps of its former self.īefore the war, the United States government funded a project to create massive, underground living spaces known as Vaults.
The lone wanderer series#
The essential premise of the Fallout series is that the escalation of the Cold War led to a desperate fight over resources, an event which the first Fallout’s introduction poignantly describes: “This time, the spoils of war were also its weapons: petroleum, and uranium.” For these resources, the United States annexed Canada, imposing martial law, and Chinese forces launched an invasion of Anchorage, Alaska. More than that, it created for me one of the most incredibly somber and contemplative experiences in gaming. Nevermind that this game had about six voice actors for literally dozens of in-game characters, that Saturday morning cartoon villains wouldn’t contemplate the evil choices you could make in this game, or that very little of the background workings of the world it creates make any sense! This is a game where you follow your character from birth, through their entire life, and into the momentous events they’re bound to get into. A long time ago, this was one of the only games for which I was willing to shell out the required $50 for a new copy, and I played it a lot. During my weekend, I found myself re-exploring this game after a long time of having forgotten about it. Anyone who knows anything about gaming in the last five years or so will probably remember Fallout 3, and will definitely remember its developers: Bethesda Softworks.
