By the beginning of 1998, when Interplay was having some financial difficulties, they decided they wanted to make Fallout 2 and make it in the same amount of time as the original, and as far as they were concerned, we'd already been developing it for half a year already. 'We'd started working on Fallout 2 before we'd even shipped Fallout 1,' he tells me. For Feargus Urquhart, co-director of Fallout 1 and one of Black Isle's founders, the nuclear heat was on. Bigger, better, and with much more for players to do, development on Fallout 2 also had to be completed inside nine months. The first game had sold reasonably well, but the critical response had been feverish hoping to capitalise on the Fallout buzz, Black Isle's publisher, Interplay, quickly commissioned a sequel. But back in 1997, when a small, now-defunct studio called Black Isle were just starting out, the classic Fallout style was far from recognisable.

Find it and return it to him' and 'Farrel wants you to find Cornelius' gold pocket watch. When you find Cornelius' gold watch and give it to Farrel, both quests ('Cornelius has lost his gold pocket watch. If you haggle and pay 750$, 50$ or nothing, Grisham gets angry, but he won't attack. If you don't pass first speech check you get back to pastures to kill the wild dogs. If you have good IN you can tell him they weren't worth that much, but this triggers another bug which sends you back to the pastures -> FIXED! -> Now, if you pay 1500$ or 1000$ Grisham won't be angry. Every time you talk to Grisham (Modoc) after that he'll demand $1500 from you. If you don't manage to save a single brahmin (leave map befor kill all wild dogs), things get a little buggy. If you kill Jo (Modoc), his merchandise keeps spawning in the bookcase -> FIXED! -> No more spawning!
