Article about restoring the cut areas from Fallout 2, not sure if this is old news but thought id post anyway.
Sounds gut
PC Powerplay said:These restoration projects are all the rage these days, especially with RPGs. Planescape and KOTOR 2 are other games that have recieved the restoration treatment, but one of the more notable ones is the Fallout 2 project, headed up by Killap [real name withheld at request; I wouldn't trust a bunch of Australians either] an information technology and computer science student. After the series made him fall in love with everything post-apocalyptic, he became enamored with modding the second game: "Though it's been two years since the start of the Restoration Project, my Fallout 2 modding began with my unofficial patch. After it matured enough, I decided it was time for something else. I had become too addicted to modding Fallout 2 to walk away from it and having found lots of information about cut content, I decided I would go ahead and restore it all." "The process began with restoring content locations already in the game. From here, I then added in locations that were pulled from the game. This was harder since, though we knew the name of the locations and the general plot and design behind them, they were not truly set in stone by the developers. "In fact, the EPA is the only location which we had a complete [or nearly complete] design doc for. As such, I couldn't go about adding in arbitrary stuff. After all, this is a restoration project and it is my intent to make all the new content appear as though it was there the whole time."
Sounds gut
