Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Despite the dark and depressing atmosphere of the game, if you work really hard, you can help transform most of the communities that you interacted with into much better places then they were before. Necropolis can re-discover engineering, the peaceful town of Shady Sands can transform into the powerful New California Republic, Modoc can become a major farming community, slavery can be eliminated in the Den, Vault City and Gecko can be turned into centers of learning and tolerance, the Potomac River can be purified, etc.
When you first traveled to the Hall of Congress district in the capital city of the NCR, you will notice a large statue of the Vault Dweller (your player character in the first game) displayed next to the congress building. It is really heartwarming to know that the children of the people that you saved back in the first game still remembers your great deeds.
In Fallout 2, when you traveled to Vault 13 you can talk to the intelligent deathclaws and the human refugees that live there and listen to their stories. Many of them are really touching.
In Fallout 2, recruiting Dogmeat from special encounter Cafe of Broken Dreams.
