[edit] which is it?
I deleted the following section, because encyclopedia's don't generally have in text rebuttals. If someone knows the real and correct order of events and wants to do so, could they fix it?
The real reason the water chip malfunctioned was due to a series of tests by The Enclave to put the different vaults under experimental conditions. Vault 13 was considered a "test group" by the Enclave. Vault 8's GECK went to Vault 13 and Vault 13's extra chips went to Vault 8. (<- That's not right,Vault 8 did get Vault 13's Water Chips and Vault 13 Vault 8's G.E.C.K., but in the Enclave, the President said Vault 13's Water Chip breaking was an "unforseen mistake, but usefull none the less.")
[edit] Spoiler warnings?
Umm, shouldn't there be a spoiler/ending warning in this article? Most wikipedia articles on games/movies/books I've seen have such warnings before they go on to outline the entire plot.
Yeah, I was just going to write the same thing. I don't know how to put one in though. 4.249.180.231
I added one, but I can't figure out how to make the contents go above it. Also, the synopsis is pretty badly written. I'd rewrite it, but I haven't played the game. Snowboardpunk
[edit] Rimmer?
Also, in the mining town of Redding, one of the Mines is run by a character named "Dangerous Dan McGrew"- the victim in Robert Service's well-known poem "The Shooting of Dan McGrew". The name also was Rimmer's alias in the Western AI game featured in the Red Dwarf episode "Gunmen Of The Apocalypse."
Who is Rimmer? --Ifrit 07:09, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Red Dwarf... Red Dwarf!
[edit] Trivia Section
I noticed when i played the game, when you go down a well and pick up some money, your character says something along the lines of "This was my wish, it didn't come true. I'm taking it back, I'm taking em all back" This line, if remember I correctly, is from the movie "The Goonies" when the Goonies end up in a wishing well and Mouth takes a quarter. Should I include this anywhere? Shinryu 15:32, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Patch?
Anyone in here knowing about the patches for this game? --HRE 23:58, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Categories
I added this article to Category:Computer and video games with multiple endings, if anyone don't see this fit, please discuss. --Voidvector 14:54, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article rating
I've rated this article as Start-Class. There is no development section; the entire article is written with the gamer in mind -- it needs to be rewritten for a non-gamer, with less emphasis given on listing characters and items. Strategy guide material needs to be removed. Convert lists to prose. Incoporate or remove the items in the trivia section. Pagrashtak 13:26, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- Disagree. Emphasis on what you call "strategy guide" material is completely necessary and justified, and nothing from the trivia section should be removed. Reasonable doubt1 01:34, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] should perhaps be a reminder
should perhaps be a reminder in the mention of the Guardian of Forever that the timetraveling to break the waterchip occurs in a special encounter and should therefor probably not be considered canon,
[edit] Add a section on each location
Much like the Fallout article. This would be a great way to expand the content of the article. Reasonable doubt1 01:32, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Formatting
At the moment this article's format and style looks very sloppy and will never advance in its class if it remains the way it is. I've read the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Computer_and_video_games#Style section, but it does not offer much in-depth advice on how video game articles should be formatted. Both the Fallout (computer game) and Fallout 2 articles need to be completely reformatted. I ask an experience user to reformat both articles to an easier to read, more functional format.

>there is no way to avoid the final boss battle in Fallout 2, again, encouraging combat
Does it count as a battle if you use the computer to turn the automated guns on him, killing him before you can scroll the screen to see him again, much less enter combat mode?71.211.139.7 18:43, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Why would it not count, it is still a fight against him.
