Summary
Fallout 2 takes place 80 years after the events in the original game when you are the Chosen One, a tribal ancestor of Fallout's vault dweller. Your tribe has built a modest settlement in an isolated corner of the futuristic Californian wasteland, but you must find a Garden of Eden Creation Kit to sustain the village or else your village will die a starving death.
