The world of Fallout is an alternate version of America, frozen in the aesthetic of the 1950s. A focus on nuclear power, a belief in progress, and the smiling faces on posters
And so the Wasteland was born

Fallout 1.0
The Problem of 2077
America dreamed of a nuclear utopia where the future seemed like an endless celebration. But by 2077, resources had run dry. The U.S. is fighting over oil and annexing Canada

Mutations and Vaults
The survivors became mutants and ghouls. Some took refuge in Vault-Tec Vaults, but instead of protection, they were subjected to brutal experiments
Fallout 1.0
The Wasteland
Decades later, new settlements sprang up from the ruins. The past lies buried beneath the ashes; the future is being built from the rubble.
And so the Wasteland was born

The sirens wailed—the Great War had begun. Within hours, nuclear bombs had wiped out cities, and radioactive dust blanketed the sky
Fallout 1.0
Shelters as a Social Experiment
Steel doors shielded people from radiation and chaos
33
Inside: order, training, discipline. And the belief that they will return
The Situation
But the Shelters weren’t built
just for protection.
Every vault is an experiment.
Those born inside
didn’t know that.

Among them is Lucy MacLean
Experiment
On my wedding day, instead of celebrating, we were attacked by raiders.
They killed my neighbors. And then they took my dad.
Everyone kept saying, "Stay quiet, we’re safe."
The Attack
Lucy MacLean
She loves teaching history and gymnastics, and watching Westerns with her father

Monster Attack
—That cockroach was as big as a cat! Thank you and your dog for your help.
What's your name?
First Encounter
—This is a rattakan. For this area, it’s a rather modest specimen

My name is Dr. Siggi Vilzig, and this is my faithful companion, the CX404
Super Duper Mart. It’s been abandoned for a long time. I’ll stay here for the night—it'll do as a hideout.
Shelter
Tip #1
Ha, you're from the Shelter? Forget about being polite. Hide your suit—raiders can sniff out people like you.
Inhabitants
I see a man standing by the car; I'll ask him if he's seen my father
Dad used to say — «The most important thing is to stay calm»
At the gas station, the garbage collectors were pulling a generator out of the rubble.
I smiled—that’s how we were taught to make small talk. They exchanged glances and walked away in silence. Here, a smile means nothing.
Forget about being polite
The air smelled of dust and smoke. The sky was vast. The door to the Shelter closed behind me.
Okay, Dad, I'm on my way.

Raiders
Who are:
gangs living outside the law.
Not a single faction, but a way of life

What they do:
runs New Vegas from the Lucky 38, overseeing the robots and maintaining order on the Strip, the wealthy, heavily guarded heart of New Vegas

Absolute cruelty and discipline: The Legion knows no mercy, suppresses freedom, and enslaves people
The Great Khans
Who are:
A gang of raiders that became a tribe with its own code of conduct, derived from bikers and the "Khans"

Danger:
Organized crime. Unlike rogue raiders, they can act as a unified force
Enclave
Who are:
The elite of the pre-war U.S. government—military officials and scientists—who waited out the war on an oil rig
What they do:
They are trying to "cleanse" America of mutants, considering nearly all the inhabitants of the Wasteland to be mutants
Danger:
possess immense military power and seek to exterminate the inhabitants of the Wasteland, whom they consider mutants, in order to restore “pure” humanity
NKR
Who are:
The leaders of the Wasteland, who united the settlements under the banner of order
What they do:

Who are:

What they do:
Сollect, preserve, and monitor pre-war technologies

A mighty army clad in heavy armor. To seize technology, they are prepared to destroy settlements without regard for the lives of the "savages" of the Wasteland
Brotherhood of Steel
A mighty army clad in heavy armor. To seize technology, they are willing to destroy settlements without regard for the lives of the “savages” of the Wasteland
Brotherhood of Steel

Each of them has its own goals: survival, power, technology, or the restoration of civilization
Who are:
gangs living outside the law. Not a single faction, but a way of life
What they do:
robberies, and every kind of illegal activity imaginable
Raiders
Danger:
They are unpredictable and brutal. An encounter with raiders almost always means death or enslavement. They sow chaos, making trade routes and entire regions unsafe

 Sanctuary 4 and the Secret Experiments
A random incident in the lab revealed the truth about the mutiny in Vault 4. We were asked to leave, but Maximus grabbed a power core. I asked him to return it; we have to remain human. Maximus returned the stolen power core, and we left—
but a Ghoul was already waiting for us outside.

The Road to New Vegas
Maximus is loyal to the Brotherhood. Gul has gone to answer the call of the lights—his father is already there.

The Wasteland doesn’t forgive naivety, but here people still trade, joke, and love.

The world has fallen apart, but people haven’t yet.
The door to the Shelter is locked.

Ahead lies only the road and a choice.
