Fallout 2/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Actor Allusion: Marcus will sometimes say "I am not a merry mutant.", in reference to the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode where Q shoved the crew into a Robin Hood simulation, whereupon Worf commented, "Sir, I protest, I am NOT a merry man."
  • Executive Meddling: The publisher, upon seeing the finished game, demanded that a tutorial level be included, and the developers were forced to rapidly knock one out literally days before release. The universally-loathed Temple of Trials was the result.
  • Hey, It's That Guy!: Recruitable NPC Marcus and The Dragon Frank Horrigan are voiced by Worf.
  • Name's the Same: Orville Wright has nothing to do with aviation, at all.
  • Talking to Himself: Frank Horrigan's voiced by Micheal Dorn, who also voices Marcus.
  • Urban Legend of Zelda: Sulik's sister spawned many persistent rumors that she was hidden in the game somewhere, often said to be in a rare random encounter or hard-to-find slave pen. Sulik's tribe also spawned similar rumors. They cannot be found in the final game, though mods exist to add them in.
