This week, we return to the post-nuclear world of Fallout, with the 1998 video game sequel by Interplay Entertainment and Black Isle Studios, Fallout 2! Say goodbye to our old friend the Vault Dweller, and say hello to his grandchild, the Chosen One. We'll discover a new antagonist and a new nation, and learn about the source of entirely too many mutations: The Forced Evolutionary Virus, or FEV. Plus, we'll talk about the legacy of the series' earliest entries, and the handover to this upstart new company called Bethesda Softworks. Join me there, at the end of the world!

Fallout 2 may be purchased for PC on the Steam and GOG platforms.
