Fallout 2 Hints
How do I save the deathclaws?
1 of 4: In the version of the game I played, odds are that the deathclaws will be killed by the end of the game.
2 of 4: And, unless Interplay/Black Isle goes back and releases a new version of the game, there's very little you can do to save deathclaws. Even if you are perfectly peaceful with the deathclaws, you will only have one or two weeks from the time that you meet the ones in Vault 13 until the time that they are exterminated by the Enclave.
3 of 4: And to make matters worse, you will be accused at the end of the game of genocide if you "let" them die, even if you don't actively take any steps to kill them. This bit of end game narration appears to be a bug -- or else an extremely poor design decision. In either case, there's not much you can do to work around it, besides hurrying.
4 of 4: There is another GECK if you're worried about missing the one at Vault 13.
