Several years ago you were discovered outside the gates of Elko. You were an orphan, 11 maybe 12 years old. Nobody knew where you had come from, not even yourself. The people of Elko, in general, are a kind people, although they tend to be suspicious of strangers. Only one man had the compassion to take you into his home - Cassidy. Cassidy himself arrived in Elko only a few years earlier. Through hard work and generous behavior he earned the respect of Elko's citizens and is now an important part of their family.

The project started in May 2003 and has survived several changes in management, repeated complete rotation of personnel, a legion of quitters, a server fire which resulted in a major data loss and even the mod's own death. The shape of the game changed countless times over the years, but the main story remains surprisingly similar to its original incarnation.

A new demo was released on Christmas 2011. Download it here. It superceded the old demo

Story[]

When mutants kill and destroy all that matters in your life - what can you do? As the last hope of a dead town, will you seek justice for the dead and help for the survivors? Or will you lose your way in this big nasty world that awaits you? Can anyone, for that matter, good or evil, survive for long in a world where most problems are solved at the end of a knife or with a burst of gunfire?

Elko is a peaceful community in western Nevada, founded by the Chosen One about two decades ago. You have lived in Elko all your life. To your townsfolk, you are known as Cassidy's kid or the Orphan, although none of these denominations are exactly accurate: Cassidy isn't your biological father, and your parents may not necessarily be dead.

After a vicious attack by a group of super mutants, you flee with the survivors of the town to a small bunker. Cassidy suffers a heart attack and is in critical condition soon afterwards.

The game progresses from there with three main objectives: find a cure for Cassidy, discover why the mutants attacked Elko and some of the surrounding towns, and find the Chosen One.

As with Fallout 2, the mod can be completed in many different ways. Combat can be both embraced and avoided depending on how you want to play the mod. Developing skills that are seldom used may yield rewards later in the game.
