The setting is dark and dismal, which is to be expected considering that civilization was nearly destroyed. Some PC role-playing games are disappointing and dull but Fallout breaks the mold and puts players in a believable and somewhat realistic fantasy world. You'll also come across all sorts of items to pick up, some of which are incorporated into solving mind-bending puzzles. When you get hurt, you'll have to use healing items, such as kits or antidotes (for poison). Like any RPG, the higher the level your character is, the more powerful he becomes. Defeating your enemies results in you gaining experience points and level-ups. Using a wide variety of weapons such as the basic knife and pistol, you'll have to defend yourself and fend off your enemies. Along the way, you'll complete side missions and take a few detours resulting in a very interesting driving story as well as unique and enjoyable sub-plots and scenarios.Īs you progress throughout the world of Fallout, the player will encounter rogue characters and giant scorpions. The story then progresses into what is the rest of the game. Without it, all of the friends and family you know as well as everyone in the vault will slowly begin to die off.

Society (those who have been confined to Vault 13 - the only society you know) is depending on you. As a resident in the local bomb shelter, the player is informed that someone forgot to pack a spare water filter.
The premise of this post-apocalyptic RPG is simple and easy to understand.
Fallout drops the player in a role of survivor who has one tough mission to complete. In the ashes, civilization struggles to rebuild itself.
