The action is set 80 years after the events of the first installment, when the village of Arroyo, which was established by the protagonist of Fallout, is at the verge of extinction after years of drought. It was developed by an internal team of Interplay which had become slightly more independent and got its own name – Black Isle Studios. Fallout 2 for PC is a sequel to Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game, which debuted on PC in the fall of 1997 and proved to be quite successful thanks to many innovative solutions and the original theme, rarely seen in classical RPGs.
