Modoc

Modoc is a town upon the remains of the Modoc National Forest, located in northern California.

Background
A dwindling collection of survivalists, Modoc is a small farming community built on the edge of the former Modoc National Forest. For a long time it traded in leather and meat from Brahmin, but as other places were offering the same goods at cheaper rates, and people began herding and raising their own Brahmin, Modoc has been on the decline. It is mostly a sleepy mountain community, with a centrally located Bed and Breakfast for the traveler. Modoc is beginning to change to a trade city, taking its cue as a stopover place for the Vault City trade routes, but the change may not be enough to save it. The town in 2241 is led by its sheriff Jo.

In 2241, Modoc has problems with "ghosts", missing watches, gardens infested with rats, a missing boy among other things. The Chosen One may have get married (befitting for all genders and sexual orientations) there and can have help a brahmin with its hurt leg, but may be for lead it to the slaughter.

In the Bed and Breakfast district, the fenced off building with the rocks piled in front of the door is the "chicken" (which is actually a deathclaw) coop where Rose gets her eggs for her omelets. It guarded by dogs, and the Chosen One have eventually blow up the rocks and kill the mother deathclaw, leading to the cessation omelette's production by the Rose's Bed and Breakfast until depletion of deathclaw eggs (who keep very long). By 2242, relations between the Slags and residents of Modoc flourish. Between the two peoples, Modoc prospers and becomes a major farming community, supplying all the outlying regions with food.

Location
Modoc can be found fifteen squares east and three squares south of Arroyo.

Behind the scenes

 * Rose is mentioned in Fallout: New Vegas by her grandniece, Jas Wilkins. She tells the Courier the story about her great aunt and the "chicken".

Bugs

 * Since the European version of Fallout 2 removed children, the Modoc quest involving finding Jonny was not possible to solve. This problem was fixed through a variety of means. Some sites had a small unofficial fix which involved bringing children back to the game, mods like the Restoration project also do this.

Appearances
Modoc appears only in Fallout 2. However, whilst not appearing in-game, Modoc is mentioned by few characters in Fallout: New Vegas.
