Only a handful of the original design documents for the Fallout games have ever been released. Three such documents for the first two games were released by Chris Avellone in the Fallout Bible, while the Van Buren designed docs were leaked and released at No Mutants Allowed in 2005.
There was also a petition to Bethesda Softworks to release the Fallout and Fallout 2 design documents.

Notes[]
- At the pre-production stage vast majority of locations were drafted by Chris Avellone (Circle Junction, Fort Abandon, Big MT, the Daughters of Hecate and Caesar's Legion, the Denver Salvager Camp, Boulder Dome, Leavenworth Prison) as well as some character concepts (Corp. Christine Royce, Alkaya, Job, Xian, the Hanged Man, Eddie “Crazy Horse” Galenski and his “wife,” Helen Wheels, Gen. Coleridge, Capt. Davidson, Lt. Pierce, Maj. Briggs, and Matthias Huxley aka Dr. Presper).[1]
- Design document numbered 13 has not been released as well as documents for Fort Abandon, Circle Junction and the Grand Canyon.
- The Boulder design document mentions something like "Josh's Ulysses Part 2" as source of information concerning ODYSSEUS AI (likely connected with the second act of Van Buren).
