INTRO:

In Fallout: Forgotten Son, I am basically trying to write FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS 2. It continues the story of the Mojave Wasteland and all of the interesting characters within it. In my story, the canon ending is the Independent Vegas ending with Yes Man. I think it was the most peaceful of all the solutions if you played all of your cards right and it is hinted that some new revolution will occur in the near future. Forgotten Son is set six years after the events of New Vegas, in the year 2287. You will see all the changes caused by the Courier and what has happened since the Courier disappeared from the Mojave.

The story is centered on four characters. The main character is Dirt, a prisoner who holds dangerous secrets and an unknown mission that will change the future of humanity forever, whether he wants it to or not. Next, we have Mildred, a 238-year-old Ghoul who has become an alcoholic and is bitter from the life she now leads in the city of Sway. Then, there is Joan, a young woman and a Vault Dweller, who has been sent out of her Vault to explore and bring back data that can help save their small civilization. And last but not least, we have Abel, a Super Mutant who is street-smart and is on his own mission of retribution to save his clan. These four characters will meet and become reluctant heroes in an adventure that will take them across the expanse of the Western United States and will end with an epic and emotional conclusion that is filled with lots of Fallout lore and Easter eggs along the way.

It would be nice and you may understand the story a little easier if you know at least a little about Fallout. If not, here is a brief synopsis:

FALLOUT is one of the best-selling game series of all time. Fallout is set during the aftermath of WWII. After the U.S. won the war, instead of returning to their old ways, the country began using nuclear power for... well, power instead of weaponry. The world became wonderful, a source of near-limitless energy brought many advancements to everyone on Earth. Nuclear-powered cars, robot butlers, medical advancements that could heal a person in seconds, a wonderful economy, and so many more things were the product of positive nuclear power use. But, all great things come to an end. In the mid-21st century, resources were starting to wain and wars broke out, killing many and bringing the world to the brink of nuclear war. On October 23, 2077... that possibility of war became a reality. No one is sure who fired the first shot, but absolute nuclear war broke out... killing billions and dooming humanity. Or so it seemed.

Meanwhile, a company called Vault-Tec was developed. They created war bunkers to save certain sections of humanity... and maybe for their own sinister purposes. So, vault dwellers survived, safe from the annihilation of the nuclear radiation and destruction that ravaged the world above. Raiders took over the innocent and some of the innocent became the guilty. Some of those left on the surface were transformed by the radiation and became what the people of the Wasteland call Ghouls, monstrous creatures with decaying flesh and nearly immortal lifespans unless they are killed by another. Another evil creation caused by the Great War of 2077 was the FEV (Forced Evolutionary Virus), a manmade virus that was enhanced by the radiation fallout and changed humans into Super Mutants, green creatures of usually lowered intelligence but great strength. In the last 200 years, the world has become the Wasteland, a lawless and violent land full of adventure and absolute fear. But as time passed after the Great War, several heroes have risen to create hope and show that maybe one day, things can return to the way things were. But one thing is clear.

War. War never changes.
