About Fallout 2: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game

About this game

Developed by Black Isle Studios and published by Bethesda.

Fallout 2 is the sequel to the critically-acclaimed first entry to the beloved RPG franchise! In this story, it's been 80 long years since the world is a wasteland, and you're on a quest to find the Garden of Eden Creation Kit to save your village.

Crippling Radiation

Throughout your arduous journey, it won't just be enemies that will try to stop you from your quest — you'll need to traverse carefully around the poisonous land that is now Earth!

Many Obstacles

On the flip side, radiation might be one of your smaller issues: megalomaniacs, mutants, and a relentless stream of lies, deceit, and treachery might be what does you in at the end.
