** Black Isle originally wanted to use "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire" by Music/TheInkSpots for the intro song, but the license holder, EMI, asked for a large amount of money for the rights to the song. So instead, the developers went back through The Ink Spots' catalogue of songs and chose "Maybe" instead. Interestingly, "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire" was eventually used as ''Fallout 3''[='s=] intro song.

* TheOtherMarty: Tim Cain brought up in a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkXOppoyJaM video on his channel]] about the process of hiring the voice actors that originally, Cabbot (the Brotherhood of Steel doorman) was to be voiced by a well-known actor, but it was soon realized that he was no ''voice'' actor, and so Creator/RichardMoll was brought in on short notice to do it. As to who the original VA was supposed to be, Cain declined to say.

** The original draft of the conclusion of the Junktown questline was rather [[GreyAndGreyMorality morally grey]], with Gizmo turning the town into a grade-A resort in which society flourished, although for a mainly selfish reason, and on the other hand having Killian become a KnightTemplar who ends up ridding the town of crime once and for all, which also causes a slow depopulation of the place, as people would start to avoid it in fear of the overzealous sheriff. This was scrapped for the final release after the marketing department decided that the game had to "reward good and punish bad".
*** Although according to WordOfGod ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa5IzHhAdi4 see this interview]]), this had more to do with the fact that this outcome came seemingly out of nowhere, with no indication that there is more to the situation than meets the eye.

** One of the concepts dropped from the game during development to meet release deadlines was a race of FEV-mutated NobleSavage ''raccoons'', descended from two pairs of FEV test subjects that escaped from the research facility that ended up as the Glow. It was scrapped because to the devs, the idea didn't feel ''Fallout'' enough; as such, the only hint left in the game about their existence is the FEV experiment holodisk at the Glow mentioning that when the virus made the test subjects smart enough to escape from the laboratory, the guards hunted them down and exterminated them, but two pairs remained unaccounted for.

* DummiedOut: A small amount of content (though not nearly as much as in [[VideoGame/Fallout2 the sequel]]) was dummied out or left unfinished when the game was released -- most noticeably a sidequest to find a spy in the Followers who doesn't actually ''exist'', rendering that subplot [[UnwinnableByMistake unfinishable]], or the fact that it's impossible to report [[ImAHumanitarian Iguana Bob]] to the cops. Some of this content (like some of Nicole's role, which got cut down due to time constraints) can be restored with mods like Fallout Fixt.
