''Fallout 2'' was released in October 1998, with several improvements over the first game, including an improved [[Game engine|engine]], the ability to set attitudes of [[non-player characters]] (NPC) party members and the ability to push people who are blocking doors. Additional features included several changes, including significantly more pop culture jokes and parodies, such as multiple special random encounters referencing [[Monty Python]] and ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]'', and self-parodying dialogue that broke the [[fourth wall]] to mention [[game mechanics]]. ''Fallout 2'' takes place eighty years after ''Fallout'', and centers around a descendant of the Vault Dweller, the protagonist of ''Fallout''. The player assumes the role of ''the Chosen One'' (Vault Dweller's actual grandchild) as they try to save their village, Arroyo, from famine and droughts. After saving the village, the Chosen One must fight the Enclave, the remnants of the pre-war United States government (as well as the shadow government in charge of the vault project).
