Fallout 2 random encounters

Random encounters in Fallout 2 are, as the name suggests, extraordinary occurences the player may stumble upon during their travels through the wastelands.

Frequency and variety
Encounters are determined by the player's location on the worldmap, his level and global variables governing it and finally, the chances of encountering one, stored in WORLDMAP.TXT. They can be everything, from a number of molerats foraging in the area, through a press gang to and including merchant caravans.

List of generic encounters
The generic (repeatable) encounters are grouped by area and sorted by name. Rows include information on map used (desert, mountains, city or coast), characters, creatures and items found and other relevant information.
