As E3 approaches and our anticipation for Fallout 4 only grows (and boy, have we been waitin'), like many other Fallout fans we've been dusting off the old games and giving them another spin to soothe the cravings until the big announcement day. While we were at it we dug up a ton of tiny little tidbits you may or may not have ever known about the series.
From the original on up through New Vegas, take a trip with us through the Wastes to see what never was and what could have been. Part 2 can be read here!
1. A lot of stuff from Black Isle’s cancelled Fallout 3 project, referred to as Van Buren, was later used for Fallout 3 or Fallout: New Vegas, from characters and settings to entire storylines and factions.
The Powder Gangers, Big MT, Little Lamplight (originally Vault 29), Jean Baptiste Cutting, Caesar, Hoover Dam, Alice McLafferty of Crimson Caravan, Arcade Gannon, Vault 22 (the Nursery), Joshua Graham, Trogs, the Twisted Hairs tribe, the NCR vs Brotherhood of Steel conflict…the Van Buren project was “95% complete” when the plug was pulled and although we’ll never get to see that game, its legacy lives on.
