Café of Broken Dreams

The Cafe of Broken Dreams is a special encounter in Fallout 2. It's a small diner out in the middle of the Wasteland containing all the characters the player has used to play - but not finish - the game. Also there Tandi and Set from Fallout 1, and as a special treat, Dogmeat of Fallout 1 fame can be found here!

The cafe is, in truth, a copy of the Maltese Falcon from the first Fallout game's city, the Hub. For this and other reasons (eg. the presence of Dogmeat), it is considered non-canon along with most of the other special encounters.


 * Note: If you take all of your armor off (Down to blue jump-suit) you can get Dogmeat as a companion again!

If you kill Dogmeat an NPC in leather armor, named Mel, appears and attacks you. This is a reference to the the movie Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.
