Back before really sharp and intense polygons were a thing, games took on a different type of graphical display. Most will recall the 8-bit memories for of yore, spanning back to around the later half of the 80's when gaming first really started. Despite its evolution, the PC gaming world had to start somewhere, and while it did have some cruedly pixelated graphics, its improvement was nothing short of amazing. The Fallout franchise started out on the PC and eventually moved to consoles for the rest of the gaming community to experience, yet there was always something much more complex with these types of games, and if there's anything that could be said about the franchise, it's that it clearly held maturity in its setting at a high regard. While graphics of games evolved, the complexity in games like Mass Effect or The Elder Scrolls that we see today can still be found in games of an older era, and Fallout 2 was no different considering that the game itself had a secret sex formula.
Despite the considerations of sex in real life to be extremely various from person to person, this was not the case in Fallout 2, according to Kotaku. Different things account for different people in reality, but in Fallout 2 there was in fact a formula that determines particularly how much your characters excels in making the beast with two backs. One of the quests in the game requires to become an actual pornstar, meaning your ability to getting down and dirty with other characters in the game was actually relevant to the plot.
While it may sound off, this was actually a thing, and it was huge for gamers in the 90's. According to Alteredgamer.com, sex in video games in the 90's was a huge controversy, but all the developers wanted to do was to provide a real setting and a real expectation of what sex would be like after World War III, as the game's setting permits. The guide is a list of all the sexual encounters in the game, including the quest that requires you to be a pornstar in New Reno. In the game, if you did this, you would literally receive "Gigolo" as your reputation. While this spiked a bit of regret in the developers, they weren't really sure how to give the reputation without it sounding any better than gigolo. Regardless, the game's sex formula is but one of the many secrets that people are still looking for in the games of old, and every discovery is a blissful or regrettable one at that.
