In Fallout 3, the Brotherhood Outcasts are former Brotherhood of Steel members who have left the organization after an irreconcilable disagreement with chapter leader Elder Lyons.
Cults don't necessarily have to be evil or out to destroy the world, but in video games it's usually safe to assume so.
Deathclaws were intended to be a replacement for humans in close-combat situations by the US government and created using a variety of animal DNA. They are powerful, agile monsters that now run wild in the Fallout franchise.
Ghouls are carrion eating undead creatures that dwell in graveyards and other lonely places. The stench of death surrounds these vile abominations wherever they go. Some Ghouls have been known to paralyse their victims with their manky claws.
Whether it be Mario vs. Bowser, Jedi vs. Sith, Link vs. Ganon, or Elves vs. Orcs, the forces of good are in an eternal battle with the hordes of evil.
A heavily armored soldier in the service of a lord or cause. Typically a champion of good and a defender of the innocent.
Elite force of the Brotherhood of Steel. The Vault 101 Dweller is invited to join before the assault on Project Purity.
A chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel located in the Midwest region of the former United States.
Armed forces. The arm of government that deals with fighting wars and protecting a nation from external or internal threats
Genetically evolved humans, animals or aliens.
The New California Republic is a major governmental body in the Fallout universe. It is a confederation of small towns with its capitol being the city of the same name. It is one of the most powerful factions in Fallout.
Two or more factions, either with the same or completely different goals, that constantly try to one-up each other. The player is sometimes forced to pick a side to root or work for during the struggle. Other times the rivalry is only mentioned in the plot.
The SPECIAL System was created by Black Isle Studios, for their 1997 role-playing game: Fallout. It is heavily based on the GURPS System (Generic Universal Role-playing System), which they weren't allowed to use in Fallout.
Super Mutants are mutated humans infected by the Forced Evolutionary Virus (FEV). Taller, bigger, and stronger than regular humans, they consider themselves the superior race.
A superweapon is a structure or character with amazing powers and amazing costs. This weapon can turn the battle to its owner's side single-handedly, but is usually the most expensive and time consuming to construct.
The Great War is the name given to the nuclear war that devastated the planet in the Fallout universe.
War is a series of organized conflicts carried on by force of arms between two or more nations or groups. Whether it never changes or has already changed is up for debate.
A devastating future war in many game's narratives. Some games take place in a post-World War III setting where humanity struggles to live with the consequences of WWIII, while other games are centred around preventing global warfare from ever happening.
