This fun new video from DidYouKnowGaming gives us an overview of all of the things that were left on the cutting room floor when designing the original Fallout, the groundbreaking apocalyptic RPG.
Much of the cut content revolved around the game's early use of the GURPS (Generic Universal RolePlaying) system, which the nerdier among you may remember from pen and paper role-playing sessions in musty basements. GURPS was abandoned early in development after a dispute about the game's violence and replaced with Fallout's iconic SPECIAL system, but a few elements from it made it into an early demo.
The biggest piece of content cut was an entire faction of humanoid raccoons that had their own area, the Burrows. The racoon people didn't really fit with the look and feel of the game, so when designers realized they'd made more characters than they could realistically include and animate, they were cut from the game.
