它使用黑島為了博德之門3而開發，被稱為「傑佛森引擎」的全3D引擎。
黑島原本預計在遊戲內使用雙戰鬥系統，讓玩家自行選擇要用即時或是回合制戰鬥，不過即時制是因為Interplay的要求才加上去的，J.E. Sawyer（遊戲的首席設計師）曾經說過重點還是放在回合制上。同時遊戲會有線上多人合作的模式，也是由於Interplay要求而加入的。
在2003年時，遊戲被取消，而黑島工作室的員工們也被炒魷魚。那時遊戲引擎已經完成95%，可以創造角色、使用技能、射擊或近距離戰鬥、存／讀檔和在地圖上移動。同時也做好了一個教學關卡讓設計師可以進行上述那些動作。除了一個區域之外，其他區域都設計好了，對話完成度約75%，地圖部份則是50%，另外當然還包括了許多角色與怪物的模型。[1]
背景設定
范布倫的遊戲世界範圍在美國的西南部（亞利桑那、科羅拉多、猶他、新墨西哥，是Fallout世界內美國的「四州聯邦」，為13自治區之一），最西邊的地區是NCR最東邊的邊界，而和NCR有關的問題和遊戲內發生的事有很大的關係。根據Sean K. Reynolds（設計師之一）所言，范布倫是「接近250年後的未來」，也就是在2250年代，約二代結束後10年。照范布倫設定文稿上來說的話，遊戲是開始於2253年。
以下是范布倫內的地區：
- The Tibbets Facility (戰前就存在的高科技全自動化監獄)
- 丹佛 (現在是野狗肆虐的廢墟，別名「狗城」，各方拾荒者與各路人馬在此聚集)
- 博爾德圓頂（安然渡過核戰的超大圓球型實驗室，一些NCR的科學家在此忙著保存資料數據）
- 胡佛水壩 (無法和「核心區域」的NCR中央政府聯繫上。認為已被摧毀，自立為NCR的「首都」)
- 大峽谷 ( 大戰前從國家保護區變成開採鈾礦區，結果造成極嚴重的環境災害，現有變種食人族出沒。此處也是軍團前特使約書亞·格雷漢姆被處刑的地方)
- Twin Mothers (29號避難所所在地，也是哈羅德的出身地，現在是專精於農業的部落)
- 苗圃 (戰前環保署建造的植物保存所，不慎闖入的哈羅德因頭上的樹被機器人困在這，明顯是3代綠洲原型)
- 保留區 (位於新墨西哥州的屍鬼城市，前身是洛斯阿拉莫斯國家實驗室，此處輻射嚴重，有武器工廠，並和外人進行交易)
- 耶利哥 (摩門教徒的城市，因為「先知」排除眾議允許超級變種人和屍鬼加入，現在城市檯面下暗潮洶湧)
- 麥克森地堡 (鋼鐵兄弟會所在地，目前與胡佛水壩的NCR部隊交戰中)
- 遺棄要塞 (原名Fort Aradesh，本來是NCR的鐵路交會檢查站兼東部前哨堡壘，但被凱撒軍團摧毀。)
- Mesa Verde(西班牙語「綠桌」之意，小部落，但裡面居民為科學家後裔，裏頭有大量設計圖藏在壁畫中)
- 銜尾蛇部落 (由名為「黑卡蒂」的瘋女人所領導，母系社會，目前是其他部落的大威脅。毒蛇幫也在此)
- 黑足村落 (村民都是奴隸販子兼盜匪，一直攻擊附近聚落劫財擄人，凱撒軍團起源地)
- Burham Springs (不斷有火燃燒的煤礦坑，現在有著Agricola機器人、Gehennas與Molechs這兩變種怪物)
- Burham Springs
- Bloomfield空軍基地 (戰前空軍基地，現在是一群名為Rusty Hooks的盜匪基地，但他們倒願意和外來者交易，只要沒被路上來自太空火箭附近的高出力砲塔打死->奈利斯空軍基地?玩家將在此搭火箭上太空)
- Ballistic Orbital Missile Base 001 (B.O.M.B.-001，美國太空核子飛彈基地，遊戲的最後區域)
一些在最終定案被拿掉的地區：
- 新迦南和耶利哥水源淡化廠 (併入耶利哥鎮內)
- Hangdog村落 (Hangdog的設計文稿和黑足合併在一起了)
- Circle Junction ("Iron Lines"這個反黑卡蒂流浪部落的總部。)
- The Crater (前身是夏延山基地，輻射戰略版中放核彈之處，這裡設定於大戰被核彈直擊成超大輻射坑)
- Moletown (一個瘋子在Tibbets Facility監獄外圍小鎮挖了一堆地道的地區。)
- 凱撒軍團的地點
Plot
 | 以下内容基於范布倫设计文档 和 并非正史. |
|---|
The Prisoner
The game would begin with the player in a prison cell. Because of this the player was given a choice. He could be an innocent that was imprisoned because of some misunderstanding, or he could choose to be a criminal and take bonus traits that would bolster some of his skills.
The player would awaken in a prison cell, but not the one he remembered falling asleep in. Suddenly the floor rocks violently from an explosion and the player is knocked unconscious. When he awakens he finds his cell door open and a hole in the wall leading outside. Leaving the prison, he is under attack by some unknown assailant. Deciding that discretion is the better part of valor, the player flees into the night to explore his new world.
Unfortunately, his new found freedom may be short lived. The player is relentlessly pursued by robots who want to return him to the prison. As he explores the world and tries to outwit his pursuers, he begins to uncover an underlying plot. Why was he in a different prison than the one he fell asleep in? Why can't he remember being transferred? What was the attack on the prison about in the first place? Then he finds out about NCR's problems, and a few things don't add up....
Presper's plan
Victor Presper
Eventually, the player would discover the true reason behind the prison and the attack on it. It turns out that through extensive research, the mad scientist called Presper, disgusted with what the world turned into after the War, discovered the history of New Plague, the virus that FEV was initially created to cure, and its genocidal potency, and also discovered a viable means to cleanse the world. Using ULYSSES, the quarantine prison, and a ballistic satellite known as B.O.M.B.-001, the way to human planetary domination and order became clear. He needed to get to B.O.M.B.-001 and use the nuclear weapons to clean the filth and wretch that currently occupied the surface.
Presper and his followers released the New Plague virus in the remote areas near Boulder and Denver. It was close enough to the quarantine prison to spur ULYSSES into action, but not near enough to cause huge populations to start a general panic. Once enough people were infected and ULYSSES 「arrested」 enough people to just about fill up the prison, Presper』s men would stage an attack on the prison which would allow everyone to escape. This event would start a countdown of sorts for missile launch on B.O.M.B.-001. ULYSSES would assess the viral spread, try to gather up the escaped prisoners, and once 90% of the prisoners had been retrieved, launch nuclear missiles to 「clean & prevent」 any further infection. By the time this happened Presper had planned to be on, and in full control, of B.O.M.B.-001 and reprogramming targeting solutions to clean the areas he wanted. Humans of his choosing would wait out the second nuclear holocaust in the Boulder Dome, until the day came where he declared the Earth safe for pure blood humans once more.
Tech demo
A tech demo of Van Buren exists. When asked about it, Bethesda Softworks's Pete Hines replied: "(...) releasing someone else's unfinished product, or assets from it, is not something we intend to do." Several screenshots and one video of the tech demo have been released at No Mutants Allowed on April 30, 2007, followed by the tech demo itself on May 2.
The plot of the tech demo is not connected to the main storyline and was going to be included in the finished game as a tutorial. It takes place in the United States during the Great War, somewhere in the Great Midwest Commonwealth. The Player Character in the demo is referred to only as Citizen. His parents were reduced to ash, as they didn't believe the government's bombing raid sirens. He made his way to the relocation center and is escorted to a Vault by Corporal Armstrong of the 4th Armored Infantry Division. To reach the Vault, they must fight Communist Insurgents. After he enters the Vault, the Citizen must help turn on the life support system.
There are several things of note in the tech demo. The first is that the female PC appears naked from the waist up, without the prisoner suit with the "13" legend. The second and most curious is that the male PC's character portrait appears to be Eric Wu from Eric Conveys an Emotion (or simply Emotion Eric). The female PC has no character portrait whatsoever.

Character system
This game used a highly modified version of SPECIAL, the character system used in previous Fallout games. The changes were introduced mostly by J.E. Sawyer. Some of his changes were accepted well in the Fallout community, while some, such as merging combat skills and dividing Speech into Deception and Persuasion, were quite controversial.
Notes
- The name Van Buren derives from Martin Van Buren, who was the 8th president of the United States of America. Interplay projects were given Presidential code names prior to announcement.
