GNU Free Documentation License
Version 1.1, March 2000
Copyright (C) 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
0. PREAMBLE
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone
the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without
modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily,
this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get
credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for
modifications made by others.
This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
license designed for free software.
We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a
notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed
under the terms of this License. The "Document", below, refers to any
such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is
addressed as "you".
A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
modifications and/or translated into another language.
A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject
(or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly
within that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a
textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
them.
The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
that says that the Document is released under this License.
The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed,
as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
the Document is released under this License.
A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
represented in a format whose specification is available to the
general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and
straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage
subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is
not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML
or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
HTML designed for human modification. Opaque formats include
PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only
by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
processing tools are not generally available, and the
machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output
purposes only.
The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means
the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
2. VERBATIM COPYING
You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
you may publicly display copies.
3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100,
and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose
the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
as verbatim copying in other respects.
If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
pages.
If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete
Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the
general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no
charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter
option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin
distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this
Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location
until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque
copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to
the public.
It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
4. MODIFICATIONS
You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
(which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
Document (all of its principal authors, if it has less than five).
C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
Modified Version, as the publisher.
D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
adjacent to the other copyright notices.
F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
I. Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add to
it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
there is no section entitled "History" in the Document, create one
stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
Version as stated in the previous sentence.
J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section.
You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
K. In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the
substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements
and/or dedications given therein.
L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
M. Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a section
may not be included in the Modified Version.
N. Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements"
or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
standard.
You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
license notice.
The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled "History"
in the various original documents, forming one section entitled
"History"; likewise combine any sections entitled "Acknowledgements",
and any sections entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections
entitled "Endorsements."
6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version
of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the
compilation. Such a compilation is called an "aggregate", and this
License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled
with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they
are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter
of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate.
Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate.
8. TRANSLATION
Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
translation of this License provided that you also include the
original English version of this License. In case of a disagreement
between the translation and the original English version of this
License, the original English version will prevail.
9. TERMINATION
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except
as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to
copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.
10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.
Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of
following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.

ABOUT FALLOUT
-------------
Fallout is one of the best RPGs out on the market today. It's very
different compared to other ones. There are many ways to solve a problem
instead of one on many RPGs. You can create your own character to use
in the game (unlike many others) and its non-linear architecture allows
for a good deal of replay action. There are multitudes of solutions
to a specific problem. Plus, it is hard for any character to complete
every single sidequest in the game, which further adds to its replay
value.
You have a plethora of freedom in this game. You can choose your
own dialogue and make your own decisions, choosing when and where
to get involved (and when not to). Unfortunately, the core plot of the
game (spoiler: this isn't finding the water chip) is linear and must be
completed in order to finish the game.
(In technical terms, Fallout is considered as a non-linear character
role-playing game.)
Fallout is a very violent game. It deals with mature themes, including
violence, drugs, adult language, and sex. That means the walkthrough
will be dealing with them also. If you find this too much to bear, quit
this game and play something else.
Fallout takes place after World War III, which destroys much of
the planet. Nations are in deep conflict after waging nuclear war for the
control of more territory and the need of more resources. China invades
Alaska. The United States conquers Canada. And the European Commonwealth
becomes a lawless community with bickering nations attempting to take
control of the western area. To protect its citizens, the United States
started to build vaults, which essentially were large, underground
dwellings which protected its people from radiation, chemical, and
biological weapons.
Vaults can occupy several hundred people. You were a citizen of the Vault
known as Vault-13.
Your vault has a water purification controller, which purifies all the
water it receives to be ready for human consumption. Unfortunately, the
controller chip in the vault has malfunctioned. Without it functioning, the
people cannot have drinking water available. You are chosen to venture out
to the outside world to find a replacement chip before your vault's supply
is depleted.
After this, there is nothing but cheap stuff. Read if you are only stuck,
caught in a trap, or are surround by some putrid green people wielding
chainguns and plasma rifles.
I hope you have as much fun as playing Fallout as I have had. Best of
luck to you, Vault Dweller!
PLAYING FALLOUT
---------------
Some things in the manual might not seem very clear; this section
is designed to give you a concise breakdown of the various actions
that you can perform. There's also a breakdown of the various
difficulty levels as well.
* Difficulty levels
- If you choose the game difficulty level to easy, you will
receive a 20% bonus to non-combat related skills. If you
set it to hard, you'll receive a 10% penalty to non-combat
related skills.
- If you choose the combat difficulty at wimpy, you will
receive a bonus to your accuracy and the enemies will
receive a penalty. If you change the difficulty to
rough, you'll receive a penalty and the enemy will get
a bonus and will perform many more critical hits.
* Interface
- The hex-shaped cursor icon is used to show movement.
- The arrow (standard) cursor icon is used for most other functions.
- The 'INV' button is used to access your inventory.
- The red button beside 'Skilldex' is used to use your secondary
skills.
- The button below 'INV' is used to bring the main menu.
- The red button above 'INV' is used to change your item slots.
* Moving
When the cursor is a hexagonal-shaped structure, that means you can
move your character. Hold shift to run around instead of walking. You
can right-click to change the cursor.
If you want to go to the world map, you have to go on the red grid
in an area. If you want to access another area of a city or building,
you have to go to the green grid or climb stairs/ride elevators.
* Examining your surroundings
Right-click the mouse to change the hexagonal-shaped structure to an
arrow-shaped cursor. Move the cursor to the object you want to examine.
Hold the left mouse button and choose the binoculars to examine an
object or a critter.
* Talking to critters
Simply click the character that you want to talk to you. You should
have the arrow-shaped cursor icon to talk to the character.
* Using items
To use an item on an object, hold the cursor (standard cursor) over
an object and click on the wallet (or like object). You'll see your
inventory. Click on the item that you want to use on the object.
Another way is putting the item in one of your item slots. Click
on the item and move the crosshair on the object you want to use
the item on.
* Using skills
To use a skill on an object or a critter, click the red button that
reads 'Skilldex.' Choose the skill that you want to use. Use the
crosshair to target the object or critter that will be the target
of a given skill. Some, like Sneak, don't have a target; instead,
a message box pops up on the lower left, telling you that your
character is sneaking.
Another way is holding the left mouse button on the character
(mouse cursor is standard cursor) and clicking on the face and
then choosing the skill.
* Activating an item (flares, motion sensors, etc.)
Put the item in your item slot and click on it to activate it.
Another method is accessing your inventory and holding the left
mouse button on the item that you want to activate. Choose the
hand that's open to activate the item.
If you want to use flares, first activate them, and then
drop them. Ditto with dynamite/plastic explosives.
* Changing weapon modes (target/burst/reload)
Right-click on the weapon when it is in your active weapon slot.
The mode will change. (e.g., the 10mm will change from single
to aimed [has bullseye] and then to reload.)
* Entering Combat Mode
If you hit 'A' on the keyboard, you will enter combat mode. You
can walk around without people noticing (at the expense of your
action points). This is useful near the end of the game.
* Using lockpicks, electronic lockpicks, first-aid kits, the doctor's
bag, and the tool increase lockpick, first-aid, doctor, and repair
skills by 25%, respectively.
* While stealing, it is a good idea to steal while sneaking. Also,
steal from behind the character and don't worry about stealing
particularly large items.
* Pay attention to the screen on your bottom-left. It tells you lots
of information about what's going on in the game.
* If you're examining dead bodies and you examine a body that's in
a pile of other dead bodies, there will be arrows beneath the
body picture in the inventory screen. Bodies will be easier to
search if you set the violence level really low.
CHARACTER CREATION
==================
An impression for the game was "a big dumb ox and a pretty little lady
won't have the same experience" - to quote Christopher Smith's great
Fallout FAQ.
The three pre-made characters that come with the game can finish it.
First, select your name. The name doesn't make any difference in the game;
it is your own preference.
Next, select your age. You can be as young as 16, but as old as 35. Age
has an insignificant impact on the game. Probably older characters might
have different reactions with young ones, but none that I know of. But at
the same time, all of my characters were pretty young.
Now you are ready to select your sex. You can be male or female, and the
game does differ if you are a girl or a guy. It's your own choice;
try beating both variations of the game. However, there are some issues
regarding the sex of your character. The game really doesn't matter if you
are male or female, but these are the differences. (Female is recommended
for a slightly easier game.)
- Male characters typically get knocked down and have a greater chance of
you scoring a critical hit on them if you hit them in the groin. The
female character doesn't have any known weaknesses in combat.
- NPC's have different reactions if you are female or male (Killian
calls you darling if you're female, Keri can have sex with you if
you're male, etc.)
- Probably to offset the male weakness thing, female characters are hated
by couple of NPC's, notably Lasher. Harry is a bit harder to BS with
if you're female.
- If you are female, there is no charisma bonus to your character, and
there aren't any strength and endurance penalties. Ditto for males as
well.
MAIN SKILLS
-----------
They're pretty self explanatory, but on the descriptions it tells what
each skill modifies. All skills are important, but try to keep Luck,
Strength, and Perception at least at 4. Characters with Intelligence
values of three or less face a totally different game...the only
options that you'll receive in dialogue are "Ruk" and "Eeg," as
well as the occasional "Yah," "Uh-Huh," and "want morE."
Strength - It modifies carry weight, hit points, weapon handling,
and some weapon skills.
Perception - It modifies some skills and increases accuracy at range.
Endurance - Toughness. It modifies some skills, hit points, and
resistance to poison and radiation.
Charisma - Looks. It modifies speech and barter, as well as NPC reactions.
Intelligence - It modifies dialogue options (gives you more), skill points
given per level, and 'science' skills. High intelligence is
important, seven or eight as a minimum is recommended.
Agility - Speed. It modifies many skills, armor class, and action points.
An Agility of 10 is recommended for snipers.
Luck - It modifies critical chance, some skills, and the outcome of the
game.
SECONDARY SKILLS
----------------
Here is a list of other skills that you'll face. Whenever you create
a character, you have to choose three tag skills. Tagging a secondary
skill gives you an instant 20% bonus for that skill and 2% increase
for each skill point used to increase the tag skill.
Small Guns: The use of rifles, pistols, and various small arms. Be sure
to tag this one, since most combat will take place with small
arms. This skill can be increased by reading the popular
magazine 'Guns and Bullets.'
Big Guns: The use of miniguns, rocket launchers, and flamethrowers. This
skill isn't that great because big guns are fairly easy to aim
(with the given strength) and that some small arms are better
than these large weapons. (And even then, energy weapons are
better than all of these...) Don't tag this one, nor should you
really consider building this skill.
Energy Weapons: The use of all weapons powered by power cells. This one is
good in the endgame. You should build it if you plan on
killing the Master and the Lieutenant and all of those
mutants.
Unarmed: The use of fists in combat. This skill helps early on, but it
becomes pretty useless in the midgame. If you find the power fist,
this skill truly shines. I tagged it so I would have an easy time
in Vault 13 and 15 and not having to resort to my gun.
Melee Weapons: The use of knives, sledgehammers, spears, and the like. This one
follows like unarmed, except that you'll find super
sledgehammers instead of power fists. This one is pretty
good if you plan on getting the super sledgehammer.
Throwing: Use of throwing knives and grenades. Pretty useless, if you ask
me. In the fist place, grenades are hard to find and second, even
with something like 70% skill, grenades suffer from having a relatively
low accuracy to hit your desired target. And grenades are quite
expensive.
First Aid: Recovers a few hit points. You can increase this skill with
first aid books. It is pretty useless to tag or to build since
you can read books (and that First Aid kits increase your
success with this skill.)
Doctor: Recovers a few more hit points than first aid and you can heal
crippled limbs. I've healed crippled limbs with 45% skill, and a
doctor's bag increases your chance of success with this skill.
Don't worry much about it.
Sneak: The art of moving around without making people notice. I really
haven't found much use for this skill. You can ignore it.
Steal: Pretty self explanatory. I didn't have a need to steal from other
characters, so I ignored it.
Lockpick: The art of picking locked doors. Now this is one thief-type skill
that you should pay attention to. Work on this one and build it to
about 65% or so. If you work it to 80%, you don't even have to do
the Brotherhood quest. It is worth tagging.
NOTE: Using Lockpicks increases skill by 25%.
Traps: The skill of arming explosives and disarming traps. Not too
important; 50% is adequate for arming explosives and detecting a
few traps.
Science: Covers primarily computers as well as biology, chemistry, physics,
etc. It can be increased by reading 'The Big Book of Science,' as
well as taking a few computer courses at the Vault 13 Library and
the Brotherhood of Steel. 90% is adequate.
Repair: Covers standard repair techniques. Build to about 60%. It can be
increased by using the tool as well as reading 'Dean's
Electronics.'
NOTE: Using a Tool increases skill by 25%.
Speech: The act of convincing others that you are right. This skill is
second to small guns, and is extremely useful in bullshitting
other people. I tagged this one and worked it to 120%.
Barter: This skill is used to determine trade prices. Even with relatively
low skill, there will be a couple of merchants whose prices will
be higher than yours while bartering. I didn't raise this skill
one bit.
Gambling: Again, pretty self explanatory. There are only two gambling
places I know of: Gizmo's and the Malatese Falcon. It is not
worth putting valuable skill points into this skill.
Outdoors: Practical knowledge of the outdoors. You can read Scout handbooks
to raise this skill, and there are a couple at Shady Sands. You
don't have to increase this skill by a lot.
DERIVED STATISTICS
------------------
Derived statistics are statistics that are a direct result of the main
statistics, in other words, increase and decrease a skill and see what
happens. NOTE: These are straight out from the Fallout manual.
Hit Points: The number of "life" points. If it goes to zero, so will
you.
Formula : HP = 15 + (2 x EN) + ST. Average is 30.
Armor Class: The higher it is, the harder it is for the enemy to hit
you.
Formula : AC = AG + Armor worn. Average is 5.
Action Points: Determines what you can do during combat. They are
displayed by the green lights in combat.
Formula : AP = 0.5 x AG + 5. Average is 7.
Carry Weight: Mass of how much equipment you can carry, rated in pounds.
You can barter for more equipment than you can carry.
Formula : 25 + (25 x ST). Average is 150 pounds.
Melee Damage: How much extra damage your character does in melee or
unarmed attacks.
Formula : ST - 5, min.1. Average is 1.
Damage Threshold: How much damage your armor can withstand when you
are hit.
Formula: DR = 0 + Armor
Damage Resistance: How much damage your armor can resist when you
are hit. The value given in the character screen
pertains to normal attacks, while the value given
in the inventory screen pertains to different types
of attacks, including normal but also explosive,
fire, laser, and plasma to name some.
Formula : DR = 0% + Armor (Combat Armor has 40% DR)
Poison Resistance: How much poison damage that you can resist.
Formula : PR = 5 x EN. Average is 25%.
Radiation Resistance: How much radiation damage that you can resist.
Radiation can affect any character, and the only
way to get maximum resistance is using RadX.
Formula : RR = 2 x EN + Armor Resistance
(Combat Armor has 30% Resistance).
Average is 10%.
Sequence: Determines who will attack first in combat. Higher is better.
Formula : SQ = 2 x PE. Average is 10.
Healing Rate: How much you can heal in three hours of rest.
Formula : HR = 0.5 x EN, min.1. Average is 1.
Critical Chance: Chance of scoring a critical hit on the opponent. I
think it increases up to 4 times with a hit to the eyes.
Formula : CC = LK. Average is 5%.
* Poison is measured in units; keep it below 25.
* Being 'raidiated' qualifies having a rem count of 75, with 300 or above
being quite serious. A rem count of 5 or higher will bring symptoms of
nausea; a rem count of 75 is quite serious, while a rem count of 300 or
higher is fatal. If you have enough radiation in your body to necessiate
attention, the message 'Radiation' will appear on the screen.
TRAITS
------
You can choose up to two traits. Be careful in choosing traits because
after you select, there's no going back. Here is a list:
Fast Metabolism: Your body is much less resistant to poison and radiation,
but it heals faster. Don't take this one: you'll want some
poison resistance and you'll have to take two RadX's to
get complete radiation resistance with or without this
perk (unless you have the Rad Resistance perk or 10
endurance and Power Armor), and that there are plenty of
stimpacks lying around. Don't take this one.
Bruiser: Your strength is increased by two but your actions points are
decreased by two. Not a good one...you'll need all the action
points that you have.
Small Frame: Your agility is increased by one but your carry weight drops
by 30 pounds. It isn't too bad, but the carry weight decrease
hurts in the beginning. At least Ian and Tycho have unlimited
carrying capacities.
One Hander: You are good with one-handed weapons but are bad with two
handed weapons. Not a good choice, since the best weapons are
two handed.
Finesse: Your normal attacks do 30% less damage but your critical chance is
increased by 10%. Not too bad of a tradeoff, but I didn't tag
this one. And critical damage isn't affected.
Kamikaze: Depletes your armor class to what you are wearing but increases
sequence by 5. It isn't that great because with 6 perception
you'll attack before anyone else does. (in the required fights,
that is.)
Heavy Handed: Your melee damage is increased by 4 but criticals do 30% less
damage. Good in the beginning, and criticals do heaps of
damage anyway. But it isn't good in the end, where super
mutants and deathclaws lurk around.
Fast Shot: You can't aim, but your total cost is decreased by one. It
isn't a bad tradeoff if you have high critical chance, and is
really really good if you take the perks 'Bonus Ranged Attack,'
'Sniper,' or 'Slayer.' The turbo plasma rifle will cost 2 AP's
to shoot and the super sledgehammer will only cost 1 AP with
those perks. Since most of the aforementioned perks come up in
the end, it is good to pass this one by.
Bloody Mess: You will always see a grosteque death animation whenever you
kill a critter. There really isn't a downside to this, so you
can take this one if you want to. The ending at the very very
end changes slightly (and for the better).
Jinxed: Everybody makes more critical failures, but so do you! If you have
9 or 10 Luck, you'll make few critical failures. Only take it if
you have 9 or 10 Luck.
Good Natured: Your combat skills are decreased by 10%, but speech, doctor,
science, etc. are increased by 15%. Not that great...you'll
need high combat skills while 70% or so in the non-combat
areas will let you go through the game easily.
Chem Reliant: Your addiction rate is increased by 200%, but your withdrawal
rate is only 50%. Some drugs, like RadAway, have a 10%
addiction rate and no withdrawal...so, it isn't worth it.
Chem Resistant: Your addiction rate is 50% of normal, but chems only last
for half as long. Not too bad, since combat doesn't take a
long time on the Fallout clock.
Night Person: Normally, your intelligence and perception are decreased by
one from 1800 to 0600 hours. This trait reverses what happens
normally. Since most people will ask to talk to you during
the day, this isn't that great.
Skilled: You get a 10% increase to all of your skills, but you get a perk
every four levels. You'll want those perks as early as possible...
they are quite useful.
Gifted: All of your primary stats are increased by one, but you get 5 fewer
skill points per level and your secondary skills are lowered by
10%. This is among the best traits, since there are only a few
skills that you really need to work on.
I recommend taking Gifted and either Bloody Mess, Chem Resistant, or
Small Frame.

SAMPLE CHARACTERS
-----------------
The sample characters include a general-purpose character who functions as
a good diplomat and a shooter, three special characters, a diplomat, and two
specialized "Sniper" characters.
*All-rounder: ST 6 PE 6 EN 6 CH 6 IN 8 AG 10 LK 5 == OR ==
ST 6 PE 7 EN 5 CH 6 IN 9 AG 10 LK 5 == OR ==
ST 6 PE 8 EN 5 CH 6 IN 8 AG 10 LK 5 (Rounded sniper)
Tag Small Guns, Speech, and something else. This is an all around average
character. You can mess with other skills to increase Luck and Agility.
The Rounded Sniper variant can, as its name suggests, get the "Sniper"
perk later on in the game.
*Pacifist: ST 4 PE 5 EN 9 CH 6 IN 8 AG 10 LK 5
Take Gifted and Good Natured, and tag Lockpick, Science, and Speech. This
character can get you through the game without killing people. To see how
to do this, look in the 'Pacifist' section below. For some strange reason,
the female sex is more fitting for this character (although it won't make a
difference).
*Dim-Wit: ST 5 PE 6 EN 6 CH 7 IN 3 AG 8 LK 5
Take Chem Resistant, and tag Small Guns, Unarmed, and something else. You
start out with two Mentats. You can use them if dialogue is needed. If you
feel that the game is too difficult, take the Smooth Talker perk.
*Late-Game Badass: ST 7 PE 8 EN 6 CH 5 IN 7 AG 8 LK 6 == OR ==
ST 6 PE 7 EN 5 CH 5 IN 7 AG 9 LK 8
Take Gifted, Fast Shot, and for the perks, make sure you take Bonus Rate of
Fire, Better Criticals, and Sniper as perks. To get the Sniper perk, you have
to kill the Deathclaws at the Boneyards and not kill the Mother Deathclaw and her
eggs. The deathclaws will respawn and will give you better killing opportunities.
Also, for the second character, you'll need to take Mentats to get the Sniper
perk.
*Diplomat: ST 5 PE 6 EN 4 CH 8 IN 10 AG 10 LK 4
Take Gifted, and tag Small Guns, Speech, and one of these: Unarmed or Lockpick.
This character will have low hit points and should stay at a low level; he/she
is not eligible for the Sniper perk later on. Be sure to take Bonus Rate of Fire.
This character is not good for endgame killings (Master, Deathclaws, etc). If you
are going to go after the three, then get the powered armor later on.
*Sharpshooter: ST 6 PE 8 EN 5 CH 6 IN 7 AG 10 LK 6
Take Gifted, Small Frame, tag Small Guns, Energy Weapons, and preferably Speech.
Build tag skills to 130% or so and you'll have an easy time at the end. Be sure to
get the Plasma Rifle sooner or later, and increase other skills with books.
*Assault Sniper: ST 6 PE 8 EN 5 CH 6 IN 7 AG 10 LK 6
Same as above, except exchange Speech for Melee. Be sure to build Speech to 90% or so,
and take the Speech perks if necessary. Build small guns, energy weapons, and melee to
over 110%, and ask the Brotherhood for the Super Sledgehammer.
UPGRADING YOUR STATISTICS
-------------------------
During your adventure, you can receive some bonuses to your statistics.
- Drugs, such as Buffout, Mentats, Psycho, and RadX can increase them
temporarily. (For more info on which stats they alter, refer to the
appendix.)
- Armor can provide a good increase in armor class, damage threshold
and resistance, as well as radiation resistance.
- Tycho can teach you some outdoorsman skill if you ask.
- MacRae, the guard at the Blades, can teach you some fighting skills
if you ask him. It's futile to ask if they're at 91%.
- Watching the Brotherhood Initiate training can give you an increase
in melee and unarmed skills.
- The Brotherhood has computer courses that can increase your science
skill by 15%.
- Reading books can increase your skills, up to 91%. These include: Scout
Handbook (outdoorsman), Big Book of Science (Science), Guns and Bullets
(small guns), Dean's Electronics (repair), and the First Aid Book (first
aid).
- The Brotherhood surgeon can increase all of your skills (except for
charisma and luck) for a price (and long recovery time).
- Strength : $2000, 3 weeks
- Perception : $4000, 1 week
- Endurance : $3000, 1 week
- Intelligence: $6000, 3 weeks ($3000 for characters with less than
3 Intelligence)
- Agility : $5000, 3 weeks
- Patrick the Celt, the wandering bard, can increase your charisma by one
if you sing the gaelic song with him.
- Chuck, the fortuneteller, can increase your luck by two if you get your
fortune told and choose the right conversation path.
WALKTHROUGH (or the complete spoiler)
=====================================
NOTE: See the Appendix for Quest Notes.
Mini-FAQ
--------
Q1: What is the time limit to bring back the water chip?
A1: 150 days, or an additional 100 days for the water caravan.
Q2: Where is the water chip?
A2: It's in Vault 12, which is in Bakersfield, more commonly known
as Necropolis.
Q3: Do I have to get the water chip to beat the game?
A3: No. Even if you do get the water chip, the game doesn't end
immediately. You have to destroy the mutant threats.
Q4: How many ways are there of destroying the mutant threats?
A4: Several. Cowboy (aka kill everything that moves) and stealth
approaches work.
Q5: How can I get stuff back from NPC's like Ian or Tycho?
A5: Use the steal option. It's just like trading with them.
DATES & TIMELINES
-----------------
This section tells you how long it will take (in game time) to complete
the major (required) quests.
- You must find the Water Chip in 150 days before your vault runs
out of water.
- If you destroy the mutant threats in 150 days, you will not need
to find the water chip.
- There is a 500 day time limit to destroy both mutant threats. (They
are the Vats and the Cathedral.) The time limit starts at the
beginning of the game.
- If you get the water caravan to deliver water to your vault, then the
time limit is shortened by 100 days to destroy the mutant threats.
- With version 1.1, the time limit to find the Water Chip will still
remain, but the 500 and 400 day time limits will be removed and be
replaced with a 13-year time limit. I think that this applies to
Fallout v.1.2 (European release) as well.
PREFACE
=======
This walkthrough goes through a pretty quick game. You won't get the
water chip, but will destroy the mutants with about 75 days remaining.
Sections for getting the water chip are included, so you can get it.
This is the route that the walkthrough goes through:
- Vault 13
- Shady Sands
- Vault 15
- Shady Sands (to get the Tandi quest)
- Raiders (free Tandi)
- Shady Sands (return Tandi)
- Raiders (kill them)
- Junktown
- Hub
- Brotherhood
- Glow (if you couldn't pick the locks)
- Brotherhood (Power Armor)
- Hub (kill the raiders)
- Brotherhood (reward for killing raiders)
- Military Base
- Brotherhood (tell Maxson that there is a threat to the military
base even though you have blown it up. You'll get 1500 exp.)
- Cathedral
This is the route that you should follow if you want to do everything:
- Same as above, up to the Brotherhood with Power Armor
- Necropolis (get water chip, fix the pump, kill mutants)
- Vault 13 (finish extra sidequests and return the water chip)
- Hub (kill the raiders that are holding the Brotherhood initate)
- Brotherhood (reward, any operations)
- LA Boneyards
- Cathedral
- Military Base
And yes, it covers primarily good quests but has 4 evil quests, one
that is needed to bust this gang, two for money/experience/important
items, and one purely for items.
There are also three variations: Highest Karma, Truly Evil, and
Pacifist.
PATCHES (also in the tech FAQ)
-------
There are three versions of Fallout available. Fallout v.1.0 is the
initial North American release, v.1.1 is the patched North American
release, and v.1.2 is the European release. It is recommended that you
use either version 1.1 or 1.2. Version 1.2 doesn't have children.

Details
-------
The corpse is on your right. Examine it, and take everything in the
corpse's remains (24 10mm AP ammo and a knife). There are 20 rats in the
Vault Cave; they are quite easy to kill. Kill them with a knife, or even
better, brass knuckles. You don't have to kill all of them, but
500 xp comes in pretty handy. After you've wasted them, exit Vault 13.
Leave the Vault entrance, and head on to Vault 15. Travel for a day, and
go back to Vault 13. You can get lots of weapons and quite a bit of
experience if you do the sidequests there. Alternatively, you can skip
the area and head for Vault 15. If you do go to Vault 13, go at 8:00
in the morning and save the water thief quest for last. Most of the
vault dwellers will refuse to talk to you during that time.
To get the extra weapons, go to the command center (third floor) and
keep on telling the overseer that you haven't found the water chip.
When he says 'Please...tell me that you have found the chip...' tell
him that you'll need weapons to complete the quest. He'll give you
some 10mm JHP ammo and two stimpacks. Also, go into the armory (room
with guard)and talk to the guard. Tell him which people have access,
then tell him 'sounds like people who only have need can go in.' Afterwards,
tell him that you have need. He'll unlock the door for you, and you can
get a shotgun and 40 shells alongside with lots of ammo.
You can also go into the water storage room, also on the third floor, for
a first aid kit, stimpacks, and some mentats. On the first floor locker
(near the big vault door), there are some flares that you can take.
On the third floor, in the library (westernmost room), there are two
learning terminals that you can use. One is near the entrance, to its
right; the other terminal is on the northern end of the library. Use
the science skill on both of the terminals to gain a total of 700 xp,
350 on each terminal.
Go on the second floor and on the north-west end there is a red-haired
vault dweller whose name is Theresa. Speak with her, tell her that
your journey is going on well. She'll start to say that the Overseer
is paranoid, and you'll have to tell her that the Overseer is trying
to protect the Vault dwellers. She'll agree and you'll receive 750
experience. Note that it requires good speech and intelligence. An
alternate method is finding out about a rebel meeting, attending it,
and killing the rebels, but I haven't tried it yet.
Go to the south end of the second floor, and speak with Lyle and Cindy.
Lyle is directly to the south of Theresa, and Cindy is the redhead on
the southeast. They will both tell you about the water thief. Save,
and enter the third floor. (Actually, Lyle tells you indirectly while
Cindy will tell you about it.)
If you can't get them to tell you about the water thief, rest up till
8:00 A.M. and then head to the third floor. Talk to the water guard
and ask him how is he doing. He'll tell you about the water thief then.
Go and hide in a corner on the third floor and wait until midnight. A
Vault dweller will come up from the elevator. Don't talk to him, and
observe his actions. After he enters the storage room and leaves, talk
to him and tell him that you are looking for the water thief. Threaten
him if he resists, and search him. You'll get 1000 experience.
NOTE: There is no way of solving the water thief quest if you didn't
get any leads from the water guard or Lyle or Cindy. I tried and
the Water Thief doesn't show up.
Now you'll want to head towards Vault 15. You'll see a city enclosed in
a green circle on the map; stop at the city.

Details
-------
In the middle of your journey to Vault 15, you'll see a green circle on the
map. The name of the small community is Shady Sands, and it is a good idea
that you stop there.
When you enter Shady Sands, you will see a woman and a man guarding the
entrance to the town. Speak with the woman (Katrina), and choose the
dialogue option " Please help me..." Ask everything that is offered, and
you can get 250 xp for doing so.
Go talk to Seth, the guard. Introduce yourself to him, and then go to the

have 9 charisma and a high speech skill (otherwise, it costs about $100 to
get him). His name is Ian, and he comes in pretty handy. You will also get
an additional 100 xp. (Another way is 'giving him a piece of the action'
