The soundtrack for Fallout 2 was composed by Mark Morgan. On May 10, 2010, it was released together with the Fallout soundtrack on Morgan's Vault Archives album.
Fun Fact: This music plays at the "Our Bodies: The Universe Within" exhibit in Orlando, Florida. No, this is not an ad. It seriously plays there, I was dumbfounded when I recognized it.
What a world of difference between this masterpiece and Fallout 3 music. Wish Mark Morgan did it, don't know why they wouldn't accept him for the job. Its not supposed to be bright and cheery music in a nuclear wasteland.
It was a dying village, but I came up with the best solution to them, worked a treaty between them and the Ghost Village and got Johnny back home. To be honest, I didn't do that much but to them, it meant the difference between dying out and thriving. I can only hope the future was bright for them.
This might just be heaven. Enjoy what life we have & continue to listen to this track. Given how things are going now, I can accept this as heaven at the moment
I've been watching some of your Pathologic videos for some time now. Imagine how shocked I was when I saw this comment! Let me tell you: you have a great taste in music and video games.
I live near Sacramento but have grandparents who own a winery near Redding. Each time my family drives there up I-5, I hum the Highwayman theme and when I'm chilling on their porch I look towards the direction of Mount Shasta and mount Lassen and play this theme on my phone. Fallout is life.
man. i remember going into vault 21 and hearing this you hear the gamblers laughter in the background and general talking. really just hit me hard. made me look on my childhood. all my good memories with my grandparents. i absolutely love this song and i love fallout. we don’t deserve this level of beauty.
Not really. This is a pretty melancholy tune that plays, and not all the whores at Gomorrah like their job. Quite a few of them are forced to do what they do.
@@thechosenundead2718 I second this. But i also think it fits as gomorrah is kind of a 'dream town' for some people. When you are down on your luck, some people will drink, some gamble, enjoy sexy things in a way. It kind of makes sense as its a place of despair and old world greed to mix with human nature. I went a little overboard with the explanation as you can tell, but either way, gomorrah is interesting in how modoc plays there since both are representations of dying morality.
The first two Fallout games prove that you don't need insane graphical fidelity with particle effects and god rays to create a convincing world. You need sound design first and foremost. These games have incredibly simple and rudimentary graphics but still have a stronger atmosphere than most games today. Mark Morgan is a fucking genius. No better ambient soundtrack in the history of video games as far as I'm concerned. Even the same songs played in New Vegas somehow feel out of place. It's like they were meant to be with the original game's graphics style.
I know its your opinion but its weird that you put F2 ahead Yet F3 ahead of FNV and F1, like what are your considerations? lol For me FNV > F2 > F1 > F3, FNV to me will always be the true F3 and it was just dripping in good writting and philosophy, dam spent hours listening to the people talk in that game.
Man this song gives me so much nostalgia. I listen to it and then disappear for months or years and everytime I turn it on again I get this tingling feeling in my chest. Its so hard to explain its like the same feeling when you spend time with people or your other that you truly love. Words cant describe how much this song affects me. Everytime I have felt unrest and hopeless this song provides some refuge and comfort.
makes me remeber the old fallouts, being run on the old pcs, when mouse was noisy and keyboard was without backlid and with huge keys. The power of CRT monitors were so powerfull that they would turn blackman white in the matter of minutes. Windows were being sold on 100+ disquettes. Cheats and game guides were printed on paper in game magz with free games. Games needed proper separate cracking ( instead of out of win registry standalones you get from torrents these days ). Vodoo graphics were top of the line and radeon was only for level10+ computer guru who knew how to repatch or edit drivers for that card. Sometimes I can still smell that cheap plastic and hear noisy fans, and smell the hot summer grass through the open window ...
Модок всегда был моей любимой локацией во втором Фолыче. Одно из немногих мест, где можно забыть, что находишься на руинах Старого мира. Небольшой мирный городок, где не придётся бороться за жизнь каждую минуту, а квесты чего стоят: поиск наручных часов с ну очень неожиданным финалом (олды поймут), ферма с привидениями, секрет божественного вкуса омлета хозяйки салуна, возможность встрять в свадьбу по залёту... Да, хорошая локация, чтоб отдохнуть от суровой Пустоши перед дальнейшими приключениями.
This music is just beautiful. Maybe the most beautiful and peaceful I have ever heard. Don't know how I never heard it in any fallout before. I played 1, 2 and New Vegas through. Don't remember Modoc... Maybe because it has been so long since I played it. I was listening to the Vault Archives and am so glad to have found this one... :)
Modoc is an easy place to breeze through if you run right to Vault City after going to The Den. It can be easily ignored, but is a good place to stop off and just rest and trade.
I remember finding this town when playing fallout 2, I was so used to the desolate and bleak sounds and scenes of fallout 1 that when I heard this piece upon entry I was overcome with a total sense of hope and comfort, truly a great moment.
This track gives me memories I never had. I imigine a lonely farm in a middle of nowhere, surrounded but just fields. It's dawn and you standing there on your porch of your little farm house looking over your crops. Modoc would be definitely the place where I would ended up after the events if F2
Guys you can’t even imagine how much time I spent searching for this sound! I was playing fallout nv and this came out. I instantly fell in love and I started searching on the net for it. I thought it was new Vegas track that’s why I couldn’t find it! I’m a producer of ambient trap and I’m definitely going to use this sample!
At least New Vegas did its best to carry its legacy, then it was just ABSOLUTELY shafted by Bethesda with Fallout 4. Sure, Fallout 3 was worse, but man. They just killed Fallout when 4 came out the way it was.
I won't lie, I hated the humour in FO2. A bunch of random people wandering around an area going "waka waka waka waka waka" isn't all that funny to me, just immersion breaking.
@@brian8484 Yeah, it's so sad to sit as a diehard Fallout fan knowing that they sit with an iron grip on the 'canon' of this series. It's actually a great loss and a cultural scandal. I played out every single inch of fo3+exp, they hype of having brought fallout into a new dimension was huge. I think the only true comparison would be GTA2->3 and Mario64. I thought they did a lot of things right in that game, fo3. But Fallout 4 sucked major horse penis. I pray it can one day find its way back in the hands of Chris Avellone.
The intro of the first Fallout showed how the world was in a very bad state. Gas was inflated terribly, US annexed/ publicly executed Canadians, and resources were low all around.
This soundtrack puts in my mind a feeling I still struggle to put into words. But, it just puts the image of a sunset upon a vast dead wasteland. It reminds me of the many times of the road trips I went on with my family to the beach. The large open fields and enormous oil refineries burning in the distance, then we finally got to the beach. Every time, it is always the most beautiful sight. The shear vastness, almost makes you feel like you are at the end of the world.But then you’re reminded that it’s not the end. People still live their lives, and move on and eventually die. Every time I think about the post apocalypse, it’s like imagining being transported to a new world. It is the continuation. The second world. I’m not comparing it, but it’s like heaven, in that it’s just what happens next for many people who believe that sort of thing. People move on. It’s not the end. In a new world, you have to keep going.
In the unlikely event that a Fallout film is ever made, I would hope that this piece (among several others) makes it into the finished product. At least a nod. Honestly, this one is one of my favorites from any of the Fallout games, and I think it'd make be a great choice for the trailer.
Geoffrey Futch There was going to be a Fallout film back in… I dunno, 2000? It was canceled, and I don't see Bethesda ever making something like that without nods towards the Elder Scrolls, like the sweetroll jokes.
TheBreakingBenny -- I had no idea if such a film were ever actually planned. It's just something I'd love to see. Perhaps at this point, it's the sort of thing that might happen as a fan-fueled project, indie film sort of thing. Not sure how much latitude they'd have without Bethesda's blessing, but I'd love to see it done.
+TheBreakingBenny unless they see how profitable it is with Ubisoft Studios (with Assassin's Creed / Splinter Cell flicks for next year) and they finally launch their own studios
+Geoff Futch there was gonna be a fallout movie, but it never went through, luckily. the ideas they had in mind were genuine shit, like cliche af stuff
I have played the first two Fallout, but i first heard this song in fallout New Vegas under Lake Nelson? in the completely underwater cave. I would spend a lot of time down there staring at the shimmering lights seeping through the cracks and slipping into the dark waters among the softly glowing plants. It was exhilarating.
I remember hearing this in a specific place in the desert in new vegas and it just awe stuck me I just heard it in fallout 2 and the same reaction it just sounds so serene and beautiful like a well-deserved rest from the scary things in the apocalypse i love this song
This song is my "Depression Sponge" If I'm feeling depressed I'll put this on, look up at the stars/stand in the rain, and just be for a few minutes. Clears my head right up.
An amazing track; makes you feel as if there might be some peace in the Wasteland after all. I too was pleasantly surprised when I heard this song in New Vegas; first heard it in Ranger Andy's bungalow in that game.
Feels like wandering through a desolate, abandoned place that you have visited way before but this time it is different, completely isolate and nobody is around. Walking through observing the once crowded areas in such peaceful way, it's also lightly snowing and since snow is absorbing the sound interestingly more than ever unique to this town, you feel at ease and completely tranquilent state.
I think you don't realize how fucked our country is, and Trump won't stand for what you want. He's a business man, willing to sell anything to make a buck.
"After the oil rig explodes, you are alone, Navarro become annexed by the NCR, your superiors disappear, the other into the mojave and no way to go now, you found peace in the wasteland, but feel do many things so wrong"
That could have been a sweet plot hook for a Black-Isle developed Fallout 3 - you're an ex-enclave soldier who's done heinous shit in their lifetime and are looking for a fresh start. Will you turn over a new leaf, or hold onto the dying flame of the past? Will you seek redemption, or continue your destructive tendencies?
I feel like this song represents the fall of society as we know it. The one thing that run through my head when I first heard this song (in Vault 21) is that people came to the vaults from their homes and never saw daylight again. It's weird, I feel regret and sadness when I hear this but I want to keep listening.
It would have to be surreal knowing that multiple generations have lived in an advanced underground shelter, never seeing the light of day. Even the elders' grandparents would have had a tough time remembering what the surface looked like before the Great War, of what wind blowing leaves sounded like, the fragrance of fresh air and having a home with a family. In this song, there is the feeling of melancholy and distant, faded, dreams, surfacing and submerging. No matter what the dreams may have been, they are always just out of reach, and time ticks onward, apathetic to the desires of mortals.
I honestly felt like this could also encompass a sense of closure. Of being satisfied with one's lot in life, and willing to pass on. Essentially, the sound of Nirvana, almost.
This song played the other day when i was playing Fallout Online: Reloaded. I was venturing out with a friend, searching for caves to enter and gather loot from, when we got into an unavoidable encounter against some deathclaws and the shootout began. I began firing my LSW at them, killing them one by one while my friend used his M60 to help me kill them. My friend's eyes were damaged from an attack and he could no longer see well, so i told him to stay away from them while i killed them all. He began to move around the map, getting the deathclaws to follow him while i shot them from a distance with "burst" attacks, eventually killing them all. When all the deathclaws died and the shootout ended, i just stood there for like 12 seconds, listening to this song, staring at all those dead deathclaws while my friend was calling out my name and telling me that we had survived the encounter but that he didn't have any ammo left for his M60.
Ah, memories when I did having a hard time killing enemies since my weapon was only a spear. After exploring some places, I found Modoc. I saw the trader that he sells bullets and no gun. Checking his inventory has a shotgun, coins and some shells, no choice but I had to steal it. After that he caught me and I had to fight him. Then the other guys rushed on me and I killed those, very sad but it was the best moment of my gameplay.
I've never played Fallout 2, but I can understand what this track was trying to achieve. Many towns share the same fate as Modoc, and Modoc will be added to that list. But you get to see it in real time, and witness its last dying breath while walking through its streets, and it can't help but remind you of your home arroyo. And even without the Enclave's growing presence, if something doesn't change for the better in the wasteland, then it will share the same fate as Modoc. It will be swallowed by oblivion, withered by the ravages of time. This is the fate of Arroyo should the Chosen One fail: A slow death from Entropy.
Played for me on the very northern part of the map outside of where you start Honest Hearts and the securitron de-construction plant in Big M.T. of all places
This OST plays at the end of the Alice Hostetler quest in New Vegas. I got the ending where I convinced her to stay home and I didn't accept the reward. There are multiple possible endings, including one where she commits suicide in front of you. Regardless, you really feel sorry for her and this theme song fits perfectly. People have to grow up even in the post apocalyptic wasteland. Only now there are no therapists or teachers or clergymen or youth counselors. An interesting side quest for sure.
I once heard an edit with this song playing in the background of the master resizing that everything he had done was for nothing, and it was honestly one of the best edits of anything I've ever seen.
Listening to this dreamy beautiful ambient track in awe while just started combat mode and critically smashing one Modoc villager after another using minigun beginning from your own just married wife ending on a poor innocent dogmeat leaves you with extremely horrifying and disturbing feeling of desolation and hopelessness what the hell have I done by playing god rushing tears to your eyes with no option but to load game from before the great massacre began.
All these people talking about fallout 2 but I heard this in the honest hearts dlc. I was on the east part of Zion when I was with Joshua Graham on the final quest. It was night time and since the made skybox was more clear to see more stars it made the experience way better and realistic
I am currently playing fallout 2 for the first time, and this theme feels so out of place, yet so fitting at the same time. I stumbled upon this town while making my way back to the den from vault city to get my highwayman, and now I just want to spend some more time listening to this track. Hope it plays somewhere else as well.
Very Brian Eno-esque. They definitely took heavy influence from him. really sets the dreary & hopeless tune of Modoc. This song really coveys the hopeless feeling of the apocalypse.
i did that same thing but i was in novac in one of the hotel rooms.. i just sat there and let the camera pan forever.. totally blown away.. its so nostalgic and melancholy
- Greetings, traveler! Name is Cornelius; I run this place.
- Then why it's called "ROSE's Bed & Breakfast"?
- Cuz she's my wife, dummy!

Perfect theme for a dying village, which Modoc really was.

Perfect theme for a village covered in feces.
What a world of difference between this masterpiece and Fallout 3 music. Wish Mark Morgan did it, don't know why they wouldn't accept him for the job. Its not supposed to be bright and cheery music in a nuclear wasteland.
It was a dying village, but I came up with the best solution to them, worked a treaty between them and the Ghost Village and got Johnny back home. To be honest, I didn't do that much but to them, it meant the difference between dying out and thriving. I can only hope the future was bright for them.
It really makes you feel like you are in a dream. Its calm and a bit creepy, it really sounds like fallout itself.
Feels almost like transcending through space in a dream, starry night..
it also feels exactly like the “vault archives” picture
The nostalgia is powerful. Very grateful New Vegas had all this music from the old games.
I heard this track while swimming through a cave in New Vegas and it was pretty damn cool.
both games have great ambient tracks.
my dad died and this feels like a depression sponge. thank you
I hope you're doing well, friend.
I hope I hear this when I'm in heaven
When the tine will come......you will

This song is truly peaceful. I always think of it when I remember the past - I like nostalgia and this song helps improve that feeling.
With accepting Jesus Christ as Lord, you will.

Man, im glad there is another person who have the same thoughts about that, Vault 21 is surely a lovely place even with its tragic story.
Agreed. This music adds a deepness to fallout. As if it already isn’t deep enough. I sure do love fallout.

How can you even mention Fallout 3 in the same phrase as the rest? And how in the fucking world do you find it better than NV and 1?

I have played the first two Fallout, but i first heard this song in fallout New Vegas under Lake Nelson? in the completely underwater cave. I would spend a lot of time down there staring at the shimmering lights seeping through the cracks and slipping into the dark waters among the softly glowing plants. It was exhilarating.
John Wenzel It plays in Vault 21 also I think
Same
Do you mean Lake Mead?
I remember hearing this in a specific place in the desert in new vegas and it just awe stuck me I just heard it in fallout 2 and the same reaction
it just sounds so serene and beautiful like a well-deserved rest from the scary things in the apocalypse i love this song
This town is where I realised the Chosen One's village isn't the only place hit with drought
Not sure if this is my favourite fallout 2 track.... but recently its the one I seem to come back to the most
Fallout 2 and new vegas will always be my favorite games of all time oh and warcraft 3
This song is my "Depression Sponge" If I'm feeling depressed I'll put this on, look up at the stars/stand in the rain, and just be for a few minutes. Clears my head right up.
An amazing track; makes you feel as if there might be some peace in the Wasteland after all. I too was pleasantly surprised when I heard this song in New Vegas; first heard it in Ranger Andy's bungalow in that game.
This plays in Ranger Andy's Bungalow in NV
sounds sad and enduring at the same time
Feels like wandering through a desolate, abandoned place that you have visited way before but this time it is different, completely isolate and nobody is around. Walking through observing the once crowded areas in such peaceful way, it's also lightly snowing and since snow is absorbing the sound interestingly more than ever unique to this town, you feel at ease and completely tranquilent state.
One might say it invokes feeling of liminal areas and places
@Frank Roidlight I'll get to 2 when I beat 1.
i heard this song in my dream today. haven't played fallout in a while, but still remembered it vividly.
The classic fallouts had a good vibe. Mark Morgan understood and knew what Fallout really was and is...
Yes, chosen one.
@@GalacticExplorer83my pfp isn’t the chosen one anymore unfortunately 😔
I slept to this song once while on loop and woke up feeling refreshed. Its that peaceful. ❤❤
this song's title fits so well. all i do is day dream while listening to this.
This sounds almost like Icewind Dale, or Morrowind music. So calming, in such a wasteland.
Very majestic and gothic
This song makes me thing of an lonely enclave soldier
I think you don't realize how fucked our country is, and Trump won't stand for what you want. He's a business man, willing to sell anything to make a buck.
"After the oil rig explodes, you are alone, Navarro become annexed by the NCR, your superiors disappear, the other into the mojave and no way to go now, you found peace in the wasteland, but feel do many things so wrong"
God bless the enclave and god bless America
WTF happened in these comments lol... but yeah so pretty much any enclave soldier then?
That could have been a sweet plot hook for a Black-Isle developed Fallout 3 - you're an ex-enclave soldier who's done heinous shit in their lifetime and are looking for a fresh start. Will you turn over a new leaf, or hold onto the dying flame of the past? Will you seek redemption, or continue your destructive tendencies?
twin peaks of fallout
I feel like this song represents the fall of society as we know it. The one thing that run through my head when I first heard this song (in Vault 21) is that people came to the vaults from their homes and never saw daylight again. It's weird, I feel regret and sadness when I hear this but I want to keep listening.
It would have to be surreal knowing that multiple generations have lived in an advanced underground shelter, never seeing the light of day. Even the elders' grandparents would have had a tough time remembering what the surface looked like before the Great War, of what wind blowing leaves sounded like, the fragrance of fresh air and having a home with a family.
In this song, there is the feeling of melancholy and distant, faded, dreams, surfacing and submerging. No matter what the dreams may have been, they are always just out of reach, and time ticks onward, apathetic to the desires of mortals.
I honestly felt like this could also encompass a sense of closure. Of being satisfied with one's lot in life, and willing to pass on.
Essentially, the sound of Nirvana, almost.
This soundtrack is so euphoric
Got to admit when I listen to this I imagine a town shrouded in myst in a valley.
This song played the other day when i was playing Fallout Online: Reloaded.
I was venturing out with a friend, searching for caves to enter and gather loot from, when we got into an unavoidable encounter against some deathclaws and the shootout began.
I began firing my LSW at them, killing them one by one while my friend used his M60 to help me kill them.
My friend's eyes were damaged from an attack and he could no longer see well, so i told him to stay away from them while i killed them all.
He began to move around the map, getting the deathclaws to follow him while i shot them from a distance with "burst" attacks, eventually killing them all.
When all the deathclaws died and the shootout ended, i just stood there for like 12 seconds, listening to this song, staring at all those dead deathclaws while my friend was calling out my name and telling me that we had survived the encounter but that he didn't have any ammo left for his M60.
I love fallout
This song really earned its name
It took me to long to find this song when I kept hearing it in fallout new Vegas
Actually waking up in a dream.
Ah, memories when I did having a hard time killing enemies since my weapon was only a spear. After exploring some places, I found Modoc. I saw the trader that he sells bullets and no gun. Checking his inventory has a shotgun, coins and some shells, no choice but I had to steal it. After that he caught me and I had to fight him. Then the other guys rushed on me and I killed those, very sad but it was the best moment of my gameplay.
This is truly beautiful music
When you get the modoc flourish ending
I've never played Fallout 2, but I can understand what this track was trying to achieve.
Many towns share the same fate as Modoc, and Modoc will be added to that list. But you get to see it in real time, and witness its last dying breath while walking through its streets, and it can't help but remind you of your home arroyo. And even without the Enclave's growing presence, if something doesn't change for the better in the wasteland, then it will share the same fate as Modoc. It will be swallowed by oblivion, withered by the ravages of time.
This is the fate of Arroyo should the Chosen One fail: A slow death from Entropy.
When I die.....I want this to play on loop at my funeral.
Probably the best post apocalyptic game ever made
this reminds me of old world bules
Fuck off Ulysses.
I was very pleasantly surprised when I re-heard this track in New Vegas, specifically in the Vault 21 Hotel.
Played for me on the very northern part of the map outside of where you start Honest Hearts and the securitron de-construction plant in Big M.T. of all places
This OST plays at the end of the Alice Hostetler quest in New Vegas. I got the ending where I convinced her to stay home and I didn't accept the reward. There are multiple possible endings, including one where she commits suicide in front of you. Regardless, you really feel sorry for her and this theme song fits perfectly. People have to grow up even in the post apocalyptic wasteland. Only now there are no therapists or teachers or clergymen or youth counselors. An interesting side quest for sure.
I once heard an edit with this song playing in the background of the master resizing that everything he had done was for nothing, and it was honestly one of the best edits of anything I've ever seen.
been looking for this song for so long
TheAmazingRusski Same.
The Courier waking up one morning in the dome of the think tank after being lobotomized:
Listening to this dreamy beautiful ambient track in awe while just started combat mode and critically smashing one Modoc villager after another using minigun beginning from your own just married wife ending on a poor innocent dogmeat leaves you with extremely horrifying and disturbing feeling of desolation and hopelessness what the hell have I done by playing god rushing tears to your eyes with no option but to load game from before the great massacre began.
All these people talking about fallout 2 but I heard this in the honest hearts dlc. I was on the east part of Zion when I was with Joshua Graham on the final quest. It was night time and since the made skybox was more clear to see more stars it made the experience way better and realistic
this track stood out immediately after reaching Modoc, its so serene
I don't know, if anyone mentioned that before, but this theme reminds me of SW:KOTOR.
I am currently playing fallout 2 for the first time, and this theme feels so out of place, yet so fitting at the same time. I stumbled upon this town while making my way back to the den from vault city to get my highwayman, and now I just want to spend some more time listening to this track. Hope it plays somewhere else as well.
sadly it doesnt
the quest for modoc is worth finishing though
Fallout 2 - Dream Town (𝙎𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙙 𝙏𝙤 𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣) → ua-cam.com/video/ChClHMTfEWk/v-deo.html
Very Brian Eno-esque. They definitely took heavy influence from him. really sets the dreary & hopeless tune of Modoc. This song really coveys the hopeless feeling of the apocalypse.
Gorgeous
This song is what defines the fallout universe to me
This song is sad
i did that same thing but i was in novac in one of the hotel rooms.. i just sat there and let the camera pan forever.. totally blown away.. its so nostalgic and melancholy
