Fall is a set of post-apocalyptic role playing video games. It was created by Interplay Entertainment. The series is set during the 22nd century, and its enormous retrofuturistic arrangement and artwork are influenced by the post-war American culture of the 1950s, with a combination of hopes for technological promises and fear hiding for nuclear destruction. The pioneer for Fallout is Wasteland , a 1988 video game developed by Interplay Productions where the Fallout series is considered a spiritual successor.
The first two titles in the series, Fallout and Fallout 2 , were developed by Black Isle Studios. Micro FortÃÆ'Â © and 14 Degrees East's 2001 Fallout Tactics: The Brotherhood of Steel is a tactical role playing game. In 2004, Interplay closed Black Isle Studios, and continued to produce action games with role-playing elements for PlayStation 2 and Xbox,
Bethesda Softworks has the right to produce the game Fallout . Immediately upon acquiring intellectual property rights, Bethesda granted the right to make massive mass-role play (MMORPG) versions of Fallout to Interplay. The MMORPG got as far as the beta stage under Interplay, but the long legal dispute between Bethesda Softworks and Interplay halted game development and caused an eventual cancellation, as Bethesda claimed in court that Interplay has not met the terms and conditions of the license contract. This case was decided to support Bethesda.

SPECIFIC is the acronym, representing the seven attributes used to define the Fallout character: S trength, E , C harisma, I gtc and L uck. SPECIALLY based on GURPS, originally intended to be the character system used in the game.
SPECIAL SYSTEM involves the following set of key features: The
- Attribute (listed above) represents the character's core, the default capability. Attributes remain largely constant throughout the game, although they may be temporarily affected by drugs, altered indefinitely with conditions such as the use of Power Armor, the presence of a particular NPC or eye damage received in critical attack, or permanently changing at certain points in games through the use of certain items or by taking certain benefits.
- Skills represent character chances to successfully perform a specific set of tasks (like firing a shotgun, or choosing a key). They are represented as a percentage, although this percentage may exceed the 100% maximum expected, with an increased cost for skills above 100%. SPECIAL statistics continue to add bonuses to the skills. This is done passively, ie if SPECIFIC statistics are changed, the bonuses are automatically and instantly adjusted. Points Skills acquired each time the character level can be used to increase the percentage of skills. In character creation, players also select three Skill Tags - Skills that can be increased by a multiple of normal levels, starting at one skill point per 2% skill under 101% skill.
The SPECIAL System is used in Fallout , Fallout 2 , and Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel . The modified versions of this system are used in Fallout: Warfare , Fallout 3 , Fallout: New Vegas , and Fallout 4 Fallout Shelter , the only mobile game in the series, also uses the SPECIAL form.

Series overview
Settings
The series is set in American fiction in an alternative historical scenario that deviates from our reality after World War II. Transistors were not found, while vacuum tubes and atomic physics became the cornerstones of scientific progress, eventually reaching the technological aspirations of the early Atomic Age and locking society into the stasis of the 1950s culture. Thus, in this "golden age" alternative, the strange socio-tech status quo emerges, where sophisticated robots, nuclear-powered cars, energy-guided weapons, and other futuristic technologies are seen throughout the 1950s computer and television era. The United States divided itself into 13 commonwealth and aesthetic nations as well as the Cold War paranoia of the 1950s continued to dominate the American lifestyle until the 21st century, which led to America becoming a fascist police force and ultimately abandoning its democratic ideals for a plutocratic system. and pure capitalism. Political dissidents were sent to prison camps where they experimented, and anyone who spoke against the Enclave-controlled government was mass executed on the streets.
More than a hundred years before the start of the series, the energy crisis arose from the depletion of petroleum reserves, leading to a period called the "Resource War" - a series of events that included wars between the European and Middle Eastern Commonwealth, the dissolution of the United Nations, the US invasion Mexico, as well as the Canadian annexation, and the Chinese invasion and Alaska military occupation further coupled with the release of their "New Plague" which destroyed the American mainland. This eventually culminated in the "Great War" of 2077, a two-hour nuclear exchange on the apocalyptic scale, which later created post-apocalyptic America, the world arrangement of Fallout .
Vaults
After forecasting these results several decades earlier, the US government initiated a national project in 2054 to build a downfall shelter known as "Vault". The Vaults is designed by the Vault-Tec government contractor as a public shelter, funded by junk bonds and each capable of supporting up to a thousand people. Around 400,000 vault will be required, but only 122 are assigned and built. Each Vault is self sufficient, so it can theoretically keep its population indefinitely. However, the Vault project is not intended as a viable method to repopulate the United States in this deadly event. In contrast, Vault is largely a secret, unethical social experiment, and designed to determine the impacts of different environmental and psychological conditions on its inhabitants. Experiments are widely varied and include: a Vault filled with individual clones; a Vault where the occupants are frozen in suspended animation; a Vault in which the population is exposed to psychoactive drugs; a Vault where a resident, usually the Vault Supervisor, is sacrificed annually; a Vault with just one person and a doll; a Vault in which the population is separated; two Vault with disproportionate ratio of men and women; a Vault in which the population is exposed to Mutagenic Forced Evolutionary Virus (F.E.V.); and a Dome where the door never closed, exposing its inhabitants to a dangerous nuclear fall. Some Vault Controls created to work as advertised differ from Vault experiments, but they are usually ugly and unreliable as most funds flow into experimental Vault. Furthermore, many of his Vault experiments were blocked by unexpected events, and some became preoccupied by robbers, mutated animals or ghosts.
Post-War Condition
In the years after the Great War, the United States has moved into the post-apocalyptic environment commonly nicknamed "Wasteland". The Great War and subsequent nuclear armagedons have greatly diminished the state, leaving a massive expanse of rotting property from negligence. In addition, almost all food and water are irradiated and most life forms mutate because of high radiation combined with mutagenic origin varies. Despite massive destruction, some areas are fortunate enough to survive from a relatively unscathed nuclear holocaust, even with irradiated water, flora, and fauna. However, these areas are very rare. With most of the country's infrastructure in ruins, basic needs are still scarce. Barter is a common method of exchange, with bottle caps providing a more conventional form of currency. Most cities and towns are empty, looted or abandoned for the smaller and emergency communities scattered around Wasteland.
Many humans who could not get into the Vault survived the atomic explosion, but many of them, affected by radiation, turned into so-called "ghosts". When they are given an extended age, many lose their hair and rotting skin. Often, their voices become hoarse giving them a zombie-like appearance. Ghosts often have hatred towards humans either through jealousy, or because of discrimination by humans. Ghosts usually hate any comparison with zombies, and called zombies are seen as a great insult. If ghosts continue to be exposed to high levels of radiation, permanent damage to their brains can cause them to become wild ghosts that attack almost anything seen, have lost their minds.
Faction
Fallout was taken from the science fiction of pulp magazines and the 1950s superhero comics, all rooted in nuclear-powered Atomic nuclear-age optimism, albeit in a very chaotic state at the time of the event. This technology is retro-futuristic, with various Gothic Raygun machines like laser weaponry and boxy Forbidden Planet -style robots. Computers use vacuum tubes instead of transistors, damaged building architecture featuring Art Deco and Googie designs, energy weapons similar to those used by Flash Gordon, and some of the remaining vehicles in the world are all in the 1950s style. Damage ' Other production designs, such as menu interfaces, are also designed similar to the ads and toys of the Atomic Age. In-game ads such as billboards and brochures have the typical 1950s motifs and nuances. Lack of retro-stylization is a common reason for criticism in spin-off games.
The main influence is A Boy and His Dog, where the main character Vic and his dog Blood scavenge the desert in the Southwest of the United States, steal to live and avoid band marauders, raging android, and mutants. It "inspires Fallout at many levels, from surviving underground communities to glowing mutants." The effects of other films include the series Mad Max , with its portrayal as a post-apocalyptic desert. In the first game, one of the first available armor is a one-arm leather jacket that resembles a jacket worn by Mel Gibson at Mad Max 2 .

Legal action
Interplay is threatened with bankruptcy and sold the complete Fallout franchise to Bethesda, but retains the rights to MMO Fallout via a back license in April 2007 and begins working at the MMO later. that year. Bethesda Softworks sued Interplay Entertainment for copyright infringement on September 8, 2009, regarding Fallout Online and Fallout Trilogy sales and requested an order to stop the development of Fallout Online > and sales Fallout Trilogy . The important things that Bethesda is trying to argue is that Interplay has no right to sell the Fallout Trilogy on the Internet through Steam, Good Old Games or other online services. Bethesda also said that the "full scale" development on Fallout Online was not met and that minimum 30 million "safe fund" financing was not met. Interplay launched a counter lawsuit claiming that Bethesda's claims were helpless and that he had the right to sell Fallin Trilogy through an online store through his contract with Bethesda. Interplay also claims secure funding has been met and the game is in full scale development on the cut off date. Interplay believes to have a second contract selling Fallout voided which will result in the first contract that licenses Fallout to enter into force. This means that Fallout will return to Interplay. Bethesda will be allowed to create Fallout 5 . Bethesda also had to pay 12% of the royalties at Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4 and expansion plus interest on the money owed. On December 10, 2009, Bethesda lost the first order.
Bethesda soon tried a new tactic and fired his first lawyer, replaced him and filed a second order, claiming that Interplay only renewed the name Fallout but no content. Interplay has replied indicating that the contract states that they must make Fallout Online that has the look and feel of Fallout and that in the Interplay event fails to meet the (30 million) minimum secure funding requirements and development "full scale" before the X date) that Interplay can still release MMOs but they must remove all content Fallout . The contract then proceeds to list all Fallout content as location, monster, setting, and knowledge. Bethesda has learned that Interplay will use the Fallout element via internet emails indicated in court documents and that the contract is not just for the name. The second order by Bethesda was rejected on August 4, 2011, by the court. Bethesda later appealed the rejection of their second preliminary injunction. Bethesda later sued Masthead Studios and requested a restraining order against the company. Bethesda was denied this arrest order before Masthead Studios can call a counter-claim. Bethesda then lost his appeal from the second commandment.
Bethesda then proposed a motion in limina against Interplay. Interplay then filed a motion in Limine against Bethesda the day after. Shortly thereafter, a trial by a jury that Bethesda requested on October 26, 2010, was amended to court by a court because the APA contract (aka the second contract that sold Fallout to Bethesda) stated that all legal matters would be settled by court by court and not court by jury. Trial by court begins on 12 December. In 2012, in a Bethesda press conference revealed that in return for 2 million dollars, Interplay grants them full rights to Fallout Online. Interplay rights to sell and merchandise Fallout 2, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel ends on 31 December 2013.
Reception and inheritance
The Fallout series has been welcomed with positive acceptance. The highest ranking title is Fallout 3 according to a Metacritic aggregator review.
Controversy and fandom
Not all fans are happy with the direction that the Fallout series has taken since the acquisition by Bethesda Softworks. Famous for their vitriolic support of the first two series, Fallout and Fallout 2, members are centered around one of the oldest Fallout fans, No Mutants Allowed , has been screamed for a departure from the original game story, game mechanics, and settings. Minor criticisms include the prevalence of pure food after 200 years, the survival of wooden framed houses after the nuclear explosion, and the ubiquitous Super Mutants in the early levels in the game. More serious criticism involves the quality of game writing, the lack of perceived perceivedness, the transition to the first person action game format, and the reactivity of the game world around it to the player's actions. In response, Jim Sterling of Destructoid has called fan groups like No Mutants Allowed "selfish" and "arrogant"; states that a new audience is entitled to a chance to play a game fallout ; and if the series remained as it was in 1997, a new title would never be made and brought to the market. Luke Winkie from Kotaku held back this sentiment, saying it was a matter of ownership; and that in the case of Fallout 3, hardcore fans from the original series watched their favorite game turn into something else and that they were "not mistaken" for having a complaint.
The redesigned interface interface displayed in Fallout 4 receives mixed acceptance by the community. Disgruntled fans create a mod for the game, give subtitles and allow players to know what their characters are saying before selecting them as before in the franchise games like in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas . Although entering mods into account, Patricia Hernandez from Kotaku is still criticizing the writing of the game in her review, describing it as "thin," "You never have a very long or nuanced conversation with other characters." I like to play charisma, focused characters, and I'm disappointed. "
Movie adaptation
In 1998 Interplay Entertainment established the Interplay Films film division to make a movie based on its properties, and announced that the Fallout movie was one of their first projects, as long as the Descent adaptation and Redneck Rampage . In 2000, Interplay confirmed that a movie based on the original Fallout game was being produced with Mortal Kombat: Annihilation screenwriter Brent V. Friedman attached to writing movie care and with Dark Entertainment Horses are attached to produce it. The division was later dissolved without any film being produced, but Friedman's treatment was leaked on the Internet in 2011.
In 2009, Bethesda Softworks expressed interest in producing the Fallout movie. After four trademark extensions without any use, Bethesda filed a "Statement of Use" with the USPTO in January 2012. Next month, instead of the Fallout movie, a special feature was created entitled "Making Fallout 3 DVD ", which was accepted as a movie on March 27 of the same year. This action removes the requirement to continue to re-register the unlimited mark. In the DVD commentary of Mutant Chronicles, voice actor Ron Perlman stated that if the movie Fallout was made, he wanted to re-display his role as a Narrator. In 2016, Todd Howard stated that Bethesda has turned down an offer to make a movie based on Fallout , but he did not rule out.
