Description
The sequel to the legendary Fallout, starts 80 years after its predecessor. When the First Vault Dweller was forced from his home, he walked north until he found some new friends and found a tribe in a suitable place. But some years after his death, the tribe, your tribe is also dying. The Elders decide you are the chosen one and you have to find the salvation, G.E.C.K. (short for "Garden of Eden Creation Kit"). Sadly your only clue is the ancient disks the Vault Dweller left. And your only equipment is his clothes and PipBoy. With courage and determination you leave to save your village, unaware of the consequences your actions will carry.
More talking faces, more dialogue options, a larger world, more easter-eggs, more equipment and weapons, more NPCs and even a car to drive at your leisure awaits you. Of course there are more deadlier enemies as well.

Trivia
Despite the official patches to the game, Fallout 2 still had a few bugs which more or less were an annoyance (mistakes in dialogue, typos, quests becoming unable to complete). Unfortunately, Interplay more or less ignored these bugs and concentrated on their other projects (namely Baldur's Gate). With the release of the editor and script compiler by Interplay (and subsequent demise of both Black Isle
and Interplay), fans have sought to make the proper fixes, and in turn, tweak the game to be more coherent, namely modifying map graphics and item properties/locations.
