Fallout and Fallout 2 strategy guides

Post by Ausir »

Who wrote the official Fallout and Fallout 2 strategy guides? I know that they were at least partly written by the devs. I was wondering if they contain any background information not found in the actual game. I know of at least one such instance:
Fallout 2 strategy guide wrote: Deathclaws were originally created to replace humans during close-combat search-and-destroy missions. They were derived from mixed animal stock and then refined by the Master, using genetic manipulation.
No such thing was mentioned in the games themselves, and I' m wondering whether it should be assumed to be canon for the purposes of The Vault wiki.

If any of you know of any other such information in the guides, could you share them? They were never available in Poland, and even where they were available, they're long out of stock.

Also, not that I'd ask for a scanned copy, as it's illegal, but if any of you did have one...

I don't have them either. William H. Keith, Nina Barton and Matthew J. Norton seem to be the authors.
