In this sequel, the player is a descendent of the character from the original Fallout. The game originates with the player accepting a quest to find his ancestor's vault and to obtain a Garden of Eden Creation Kit (G.E.C.K.). By accepting the mission, the player will adventure to new locations such as the New Reno, the home of organized crime and big casinos; Vault City, a new modern town; and the ruins of San Francisco. As Fallout 2 progresses the player will have the ability to find a use a car which will reduce travel time from area to area, visit more locations, interact with new NPC's (non player characters), discover advanced weaponry and move closer to the goal - finding the vault and acquiring the G.E.C.K.
