Fallout 2 Hints

Arrange a prison break.

  • 1 of 8: You can only get this quest if you agree to join a conspiracy.
  • 2 of 8: Jacob will ask you what you think about mutants.  A proper answer to this question will get you the job.
  • 3 of 8: Just don't tell him that you like mutants, and he'll give you a chance to do a favor for him.  But mess up the conversation, and he won't talk to you again.
  • 4 of 8: Also, be warned that this quest has implications for what some might consider a more important opportunity to bring peace to Broken Hills.
  • 5 of 8: He wants you to break a few of his friends out of prison.
  • 6 of 8: Even without very high skills, you can do this without creating a lot of trouble.
  • 7 of 8: Just make sure you don't get caught by the single guard at the prison.
  • 8 of 8: Wait until his back is turned to you, then lockpick the prison cell to free the prisoners.
