This was not the first time I tried to win Fallout. I got the game for a Christmas present in 1997. I was super excited. I immediately set out to playing it. Not sure how many hours in, I made a critical error, telling a super mutant, I think that I had encountered in The Hub, to take me to his leader. So he did. And threw me in prison with no equipment. Ian, dutifully by my side. Despite stealing from Ian equipment that gave me a chance to survive, I spent hours and hours trying to escape. I finally made it to the elevator, only to find another lethal level of the base, and I was hopelessly outgunned. I kept trying, saving all my incremental progress along the way. By the time I realized I would never escape, I also realized I had no save files prior to this take me to your leader moment. I was so demoralized I quit. I didn't have the heart to start over!

Several years ago, pre-COVID, in the era of Steam and various Fixit/Mod versions, I tried it again, gave up again, started again, got about half-way through, stopped again. Finally I went back to the original version, discarding the mods versions, and started this game. During these intervening 28 years, I had seen the Fallout franchise explode, I helped to user in Wasteland Remastered and Wasteland 2 and Wasteland 3 with my obsessive fandom keeping the Wasteland flame burning via a Yahoo! group frequented by Brian Fargo, watched my family play Fallout 3, 4, New Vegas, 76, and Shelter, and all the while, me, still never having finished Fallout. Until now, when I finally resumed my last game I probably started in 2024, and finished it. Now I can finally take this off my to-do list. And yes, I'm embarrassed it took me so long! Graduate school, first job, 4 kids, a few moves, married life got in the way, or rather, I let it get in the way. But I finally did it. Visviva (named after a character I created for some Blake's 7 fan fiction I wrote 30 years ago) finally blew up Mariposa Base and was kicked out of Vault 13. I'll probably never play Fallout again--after all, I have to now play Fallout 2, finish Fallout 3 DLCs (at least I won FO3 base game!), play Fallout 4, and Wasteland 3! So it is sad in a way, to be finally here. But I'm happy to have finally beat it. Thank you to Black Isle Studios and Brian Fargo for this awesome game. War never changes!

In this game, I convinced the Master to blow himself up, and blew up Mariposa base to trigger the end scene. I had Ian and Tycho and Dogmeat but couldn't keep them alive through to the end game. I never found Katja. The alien blaster became my favorite and best weapon. I totally missed out on the V.A.T.S. experience with the perks I chose for Visviva. In the end, getting banished from Vault 13 was devastating, even though I heard about the ending decades ago. But I also saw I had a few seconds as the Overseer turned and walked away, so I took one last shot and got my final revenge, then during combat went to the character sheet, spent my Skill points, "printed" the file you see above.

I've already started Fallout 2. I wonder if I can keep the Fallout momentum going long enough to win it, too. Somehow I've avoided spoilers on the plot, so it'll be loads of fun!

Meanwhile, this dusty, lonely site, also mostly abandoned, gets one more, maybe the last, update. Manually coded HTML sites were fun 30 years ago, not so modern anymore. Long live The Wasteland Ranger HQ-Grid and long live Visviva! (She at least lived long enough at least to have a descendant who finds and wears her jumpsuit in Fallout 2!)
