Modoc

Modoc is a small farming community located west from Vault City. A dwindling collection of survivalists, Modoc is 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 is led by its sheriff Jo.

Modoc has problems with "ghosts", missing watches, gardens infested with rats, a missing boy and other things. You can get married (befitting for all genders and sexual orientations. Shotgun Wedding! Yay!) there! Also you can help a brahmin with its hurt leg, and if you're feeling sinister, you can lead it to the slaughter.

If you marry the daughter of the butcher at the Slaughter house, leave with his daughter, then let her die in a fight, you might want to come back to her father. If you tell him about his daughter's death, he himself will die of a heart attack.

Also, when trying to find the stolen watch, you have to blow up a toilet to get to the sewers beneath it. The explosion will result in the entire town's buildings being covered with, well, poo.

Layout
Modoc is divided into two districts.

Fallout 2 European version
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.

Fallout 2 Restoration Project changes

 * It is now possible when falling down in the Ghost Caves or being expelled from the Modoc toilet to break a limb. (Party members are affected too)
