Fallout Unused Content

This article documents the many cut aspects of the original Fallout. As so much was cut there is a separate Fallout cut characters article. This article is based on the research of Per, The Gravedigger and Dude101.

Items marked with (*) were restored to Fallout 1 with the Fallout 1 Restoration Project mod.
