THE FALLOUT FALLOUT

FALLOUT's co-creator dropping bombs about the nascent days of CRPGs

- Wes Fenlon

The co-creator of Fallout (and more recently Outer Worlds) Tim Cain has recently embarked on a one man mission to spill the beans about the early days of cRPGs. Over various YouTube videos Cain has served up treasures about Fallout including that the true purpose of vaults in Fallout, it turns out, were basically testbeds for a starship.

“If you ever read reports from the ’50s about what scientists thought of full-scale, international, superpower nuclear exchange,” said Cain, “there basically is no Earth to come back to”.
