Timothy Cain presents the development history of the original Fallout in this 2012 conference session. He worked on the game as a producer, programmer and designer, so this is a first-hand account of making the role-playing game that began the series.
Start here if your Fallout reference point is the later first-person games. The subject is the original game and the team behind it, not a retrospective covering every sequel.
