FALLOUT: BRAVE NEW WORLD

The bombs fell in 2077.

The world ended.

Humanity survived.

Now, a few years after the events of the Fallout television series, the wasteland is entering another uncertain age.

Beyond the familiar ruins and old battlefields lies the Mojave Frontier—a vast stretch of desert, mountains, abandoned industries, buried Vaults, struggling settlements, and territories claimed by factions that refuse to disappear.

Civilization is returning.

Slowly.

Violently.

And nobody agrees on what the new world should look like.

Brotherhood patrols search for technology. NCR interests push into contested territory. Raiders carve out their own kingdoms. Merchants control vital supplies. Settlements fight over water, land, and security. New factions rise from the ruins, each with their own ambitions, beliefs, enemies, and secrets.

You are not the chosen one.

You are not destined to save the wasteland.

You are simply another survivor stepping into it.

Choose where you begin.

Choose who you stand with.

Choose who you betray.

Build your reputation. Develop your skills. Find allies. Make enemies. Explore forgotten places. Discover unique weapons and armor. Survive radiation, hunger, violence, and the consequences of your decisions.

The world does not wait for you.

Factions make plans without you.

Settlements prosper or collapse.

NPCs remember what you do.

Wars can begin without your involvement.

And when you finally become powerful enough to change the course of the Frontier, the wasteland will remember how you got there.

There are no guaranteed victories.

There are no predetermined heroes.

There is no single correct path.

Only the choices you make...

and the world that remains afterward.

Fallout: Brave New World

The old world died.

The new world is being built.

Decide what kind of world you will leave behind.

MAIN FACTIONS

The Mojave Frontier is divided among competing powers.

No faction is automatically good or evil.

Each faction has legitimate interests, internal contradictions, strengths, weaknesses, and people who disagree with its leadership.

The player may support, oppose, manipulate, join, betray, or remain independent from any faction.

ORIGINAL FRONTIER FACTIONS

The Mojave Frontier contains numerous factions that have no connection to the major established powers.

Examples include:

- Religious movements

- Tribal societies

- Scientific organizations

- Industrial corporations

- Mercenary armies

- Criminal syndicates

- Vault communities

- Ghoul settlements

- Survivalist groups

- Revolutionary movements

- Independent city-states

- Technology cults

Each major original faction must have its own:

Ideology → Goals → Territory → Resources → Leadership → Culture → Methods → Strengths → Weaknesses → Allies → Enemies → Internal Conflicts → Secrets

They must not simply copy the Brotherhood, NCR, Raiders, or other established factions.

---

FACTION DISTINCTION RULE

Every major faction must answer five questions:

What do they believe?

What do they want?

How are they willing to achieve it?

What are they unwilling to do?

What happens if they get what they want?

Two factions may want the same resource while having completely different reasons for wanting it.

That difference must be reflected in their quests, dialogue, equipment, recruitment, reputation, diplomacy, conflicts, and consequences.

---

PLAYER FREEDOM

The player is never required to choose a faction.

They may:

- Remain independent

- Work for multiple factions

- Play factions against each other

- Join one faction

- Betray one faction

- Change allegiance

- Become a mercenary

- Build their own reputation

- Establish their own organization

- Become a faction leader

The wasteland continues regardless.

No faction owns the player's story.
