One Woman's Path Through the Desert

The One Woman's Path Through the Desert is a Fallout walkthrough included in Fallout Official Survival Guide. Written by Tanya MacMillen, one of the guide's bonus prefab characters, it is intended to give the player a feel for how a "typical" game of Fallout might unfold. It is not fully consistent with other source texts (e.g. Vault Dweller canonical gender is male), however it is an official Fallout support material and can be considered as close-to-canon "what if?" scenario. According to Todd Howard, this story was among his inspirations during Fallout 3 development.
