Fallout 1.5: Resurrection is a new, old-school Fallout. It's a modification for Fallout 2 with a completely new story taking place in the Fallout universe. The plot is set in the time between Fallout 1 and 2, east of the future NCR in New Mexico. That means you won't visit the original places. Instead, you'll discover entirely new, creative locations that allowed us to have more freedom with the story.
The player's character wakes up, heavily wounded, in a dark cave, not knowing how it got there, or who it is. Thus you start from a scratch, searching for your past, which is darker than it might seem on the first sight... We won't give away any more details about the story, not to spoil your game experience. Though you can count on surprising twists in plot and unexpected finale.
As big fans of Fallout, we've tried to take the best from all of the classic Fallout games. Easter eggs and jokes, with which Fallout 2 was literally overfilled, have been folded into the background. Instead, the great atmosphere of decadence and hopelessness enjoyed by so many in the first Fallout game returns. The world is still chaotic, with only a few, small, independent communities connected by tenuous trade relations. The wasteland is an unfriendly place where law is on the side of whoever has the biggest gun.
The name "Resurrection" was chosen for two reasons. Firstly, resurrection is a theme tied closely to the main character who, at the beginning of the game, practically rises from the dead. Secondly, our modification represents the resurrection of good old Fallout. We didn't want to re-imagine the entire game system. Instead, our aim was to bring back this classic RPG in its original form. Many remember that feeling when they first played Fallout; until you completed the game, you journeyed through interesting locations filled with fascinating things. Even after several play-throughs, you continued to find new, exciting stuff. Players could really get into such a game, so that's exactly the kind of game we've endeavoured to create.

Sorry. Did not realize you were looking for world-changing insight in a post about a mod for an almost 20 year old game on a site generally populated by nutjobs and trolls.
Tell ya what, I'll propose a compromise: I'll try harder next time and you stop taking yourself quite so seriously.

Considering that most of their audience is probably people who read forums like this, I just feel it's rather unfair to flippantly throw out a comment barely a step above reviewing something you don't own, right after it comes out and most people haven't investigated for themselves. We're talking about a tiny community of "customers" to begin with, before you torpedo it.
And there's always the old saw "If you can't say something nice..."
"Is that really true?" "I just spent the last hour telling you to think for yourself! Didn't you hear anything I said?"

I already said I wasn't giving it a fair shake. I thought I was pretty far away from torpedoing it.
I'll put some time into it this weekend. If it gets cool, I will return here and correct my previous comment.

You've been here how long and you haven't realized what this site is about? They take my posts and feed families in India with them. Like this post would probably last a family of six about a week. We're just wiping out global hunger and a few other things just by posting. You should get in on that. Maybe get some kids in Kenya named after you.
