The possibility of peaceful passage in the original Fallout appeared quite by accident

If you ever decide to play Fallout from the perspective of a pacifist and go through the whole game without killing anyone, then you use what should not have existed at all.

In a recent video posted on YouTube, one of the creators of the Fallout franchise, Tim Kane, emphasized that the concept of pacifist passage was included in the original Fallout (1997) by mistake, but the guide of the game liked this idea so much that they decided to continue working on it.

Fallout is a post -apocalyptic series in which players will survive in a huge wasteland inhabited by bloodthirsty raiders, grotesque mutants and fractions fighting for control over resources. This is in essence a cruel game, which represent the desperation of the world, torn to pieces of nuclear destruction. This is a series that stood at the source of the genre and for more than twenty -five years has gathered millions of fans.

In his last video, Tim Kane turns to the concept of pacifist passage of the game. He emphasizes that he is a supporter of this style of the game and that, creating games, he tried to ensure that this concept was always present. In Fallout, this complicates the situation a little, since there are a lot of situations that "They will demand" To rely on battle and a brutal massacre.

In Fallout this happened by chance. We developed the game, made the main quest and all that. And at some point, I believe, someone from the quality control department said: "You know, you can play without killing anyone". It turned out that it was a side effect from the fact that most dialogue options for the game did not lead to anyone’s death.

Then this idea was supported by the whole team, and several changes were made to increase the possibility of playing with pacifism from beginning to end. Since then, each Fallout game supports pacifist passage.

But in a world filled with manual nuclear launchers, minigans and gloves made of claws of huge creatures, whether you really want to kill anything?
