' Death is a preferable alternative to Communism.For anyone who has lived or worked in Northern California, playing Fallout 2 is especially fun due to the ability to visit the hypothetical surviving cities of the region, many of which are based on real world locations. Among the more organized, The Brotherhood of Steel and the Enclave continue developing and testing Power Armor, manufacturing robots, and eventually perfecting Liberty Prime (originally intended for Operation: Anchorage). The survivors of the war spend the next two hundred years recovering and building upon the pre-war artifacts for defense and education. By 2081, Sierra Army DepotвЂ™s AI, Skynet becomes self-aware. The Sierra Army Depot is evacuated, the Platinum Chip (a data storage device that contains offensive and defensive information and sought after by Robert House to protect вЂњthe stripвЂќ) is developed, and virtual reality is tested.ДЄfter the Great War, several vaults and bunkers sit empty with the exception of robots and vermin. The Great WarД«y 2077 (The Great War), Robert House goes into stasis and Power Armor is used on rioting US citizens. Because of Power armor development, the fusion cell is developed the next year.ДЄlthough originallyВ meant toВ provide power to the US during the energy crisis, it was not enough to rebuild the static US.В Because of its development, Chryslus Motors invents the fusion-powered car in 2070. The T-45d Power Armor is perfected by 2067, in time for Operation: Anchorage. Although the prototypes were cumbersome and inefficient, the precedent set forth a second wave of technological advancement for military purposes. Six years later, Power Armor is introduced. ' Did I just say 'exploiting'? That's not a very nice word!' Meanwhile, automobiles become obsolete due to oil depletion and this pressures scientists to hurryВ the development of fusion energy. Think the Sink in the Big-MT evolving into Yes Man or Victor. In 2059, the technology race comes to a head when artificial intelligence is born from automated personality. The rest of the 2040s and 2050s are in a constant state of global chaos between the Plague, famine, and war. RobCo is responsible for Liberty Prime, Pip-Boys, Protectrons, Stealth Boys and the most popular operating system (2075) in circulation until the Great War- and is perhaps why Fallout 4 did not change the look and feel of the computers.ДЇrom the makers of Stealth Boy and security robots: The best OS in the land. The Mister Handy units become fairly popular and are eventually improved upon when Robert House opens RobCo in 2042. Military downsizing causedВ aВ race for the technological advancement of robots that General Atomics International eventually achieved in 2037 with Mister Handy. The DepotвЂ™s mission did a 180 to actually rid the US of weaponry deemed harmful the country or planet. However, weapons donвЂ™t really get in teresting until the 1990s when the Sierra Army Depot changes its purpose for the first time. This includes the B-29 crash into Lake Mead and the reclamation of this artifact would later become a main quest for the Boomers. The military performed lots of covert testing during this time (1940s-1960s). Then we have the timeline split from real world to Fallout lore. It was only a year after this when nuclear testing began in the Mojave for the Manhattan Project and three years before the test bomb actually dropped. The Depot originally held weapons for the military (in preparation of the Japanese threat) although its purpose changed several times before the Great War, 135 years later. The famous Sierra Army Depot is created north of Reno. I chose to outline weapons and robots in the second part because these two elements closely tie in to the global war machine that eventually wrecked the planet. In preparation for Fallout 4 this November, I present the shortened history of Fallout, Chapter two: weapons and robots. As I stated in part one, The Fallout wiki and the Fallout Bible are thorough resources for all who seek a more comprehensive explanation than what I am about to outline.
