You can take as much time as you need to make decisions. Combat in Fallout is tactical turn-based. As you gain experience (roughly half from combat, the other half from solving adventure seeds and non-combat events), your character will grow as you determine. Fallout uses a skill-based system to allow you to fine tune your character. The core of the game revolves around your character. Without that chip, your fellow Vault dwellers are doomed to dehydration or will be forced to leave the safety of the Vault for the Outside. Your immediate task is to find a replacement for the broken water purification controller chip. A world of mutants, radiation, gangs and violence. Circumstances arise that force you to go Outside - to a strange world 80 years after the end of modern civilization.
You will take the role of a Vault-dweller, a person who has grown up in a secluded, underground survival Vault. Set in the aftermath of a world-wide nuclear war, Fallout will challenge you to survive in an unknown and dangerous world. When you buy this game, The Elder Scrolls: Arena and The Elder Scrolls Chapter II: Daggerfall will be added to your GOG.com account for free!
