VAULT CITY

Navigate the organized totalitarian society of Vault City in Fallout 2. Discover key locations like the Courtyard, Downtown, and the Vault itself, and meet important characters.

Vault City is a sprawling metropolis that presents itself as a utopia in the Fallout world, but beneath the surface, it's a highly organized totalitarian society with roots tracing back to the citizens of Vault 8. Think of it as a place where everything is supposed to run like clockwork, but you'll be the one making sure the gears don't grind to a halt.

Notable Areas:

• Courtyard: This is where you'll find the basics – Happy Harry's store for supplies, Andrew's Clinic for medical needs, a Bar for... well, you know, and various tenants with their tents.
• Vault City Downtown: The administrative heart. Here you'll find the Customs Office, a Repair shop, Amenities Offices, the Corrections Center, the Servant Allocation building, and the Information Center.
• Vault City Vault (Vault 8): The original home of Vault City's founders.
• Vault City Council: Where the big decisions are made, likely by folks who don't get their hands dirty.

Notable Characters:

• Lynette: Vault City's First Citizen. She's probably the one giving the orders.
• Dr. Troy: The medic for Vault City. Might be useful if you get into trouble.
• Lydia: She's interested in buying your beer and booze. A good way to make some caps.
• Randall: Chief Amenities Officer. Might have some interesting items or quests.
• Stark: Heads the guards. Best not to make enemies here unless you have to.
• Thomas Moore: An abolitionist and agent for Mr. Bishop. Could be important later.
• Curtis: A kid who lost his Mr. Nixon doll. Helping him might lead to something useful.
• Amanda: A worried courtyard dweller whose husband, Joshua, is missing. A potential quest giver.
• Barkus: Heads the Servant Allocation Center. Might be involved with Joshua's disappearance.
• Dr. Andrew: The doctor for the courtyard dwellers. His clinic might need your help.
• Ed: Can give you information about other cities around Vault City.
• Mr. Smith: Needs a plow. Sounds like a simple fetch quest.
• Skeev: The Customs officer who can get you forged citizenship papers. Risky, but potentially rewarding.
• Wallace: The chief Customs officer. Might be the one to watch out for regarding Skeev.
• Harry: Owns Happy Harry's. Your go-to for supplies and maybe some local gossip.
• Senior Councilman McClure: More level-headed than Lynette. Might be an alternative contact.
• Valerie: Heads the repair shop and is Vic's daughter. She'll need tools.
• Kohl: Heads the Information Services department. Might have intel you need.
• Vault City Citizens, Slaves, and Guards: The general populace and enforcers you'll encounter.
