About Fallout 2

Fallout 2 is a role-playing game released on PC and Mac on October 29, 1998. It is set in a post-nuclear American West and combines turn-based tactical combat with a bird's-eye, isometric view of the world. Developed by Black Isle Studios and published by Interplay Entertainment, MacPlay, and Bethesda Softworks, it is part of the Fallout series.

The game is a single-player experience with puzzle and open-world elements, along with stealth and survival themes and a good deal of comedy. The player explores a wide landscape populated by many tribes, factions, and small communities, each with its own outlook and goals. Conversations branch through dialogue trees, so the way the player talks to people shapes what happens next.

The game carries ESRB M (Mature 17+) and PEGI 16 ratings. It is a single-player title that rewards careful planning and exploration across its open setting.
