Story
Fallout begins in the year 2161, set in a post-apocalyptic world following the "Great War," a nuclear event that occurred on October 23, 2077. The war lasted less than two hours but caused immense damage and destruction. Vaults were constructed ahead of this conflict, and protected individuals from the violence. One of these vaults, Vault 13, is in need of a new water chip. Essential for a vault's habitability, the chip is an electronic device responsible for water recycling and the overseer tasks the Vault Dweller with finding a replacement. With the lives of all vault dwellers at stake, the protagonist heads out of the vault and into the remains of California to find another water chip.
