Trigger for Fallout 1 Failed game ending?

[Yuri]

Just to confirm something really, hope I'm not intruding.

Uhm... when you visit Necropolis again after getting the water chip(and where all the ghouls are dead), does this event set off the precedent for the uhh mutant happenings(not entirely sure what the mutants are doing and uhm, please don't spoil)?

Basically, I spent too much time wandering around the wastelands, so, Vault 13 was invaded and everyone died, and the whole game ended. (Man, I should've noticed! )

Ah well, guess I'll have to restart from about 1 year earlier.

 

[Per]

1. V13 being invaded is not affected by what happens in Necropolis, and

2. It shouldn't happen at all unless you're playing version 1.0, in which case you should get a patch (might invalidate save games though).

*hits self in the head*

I should've remembered to patch it! >>;;

So, well, it was like...April 2163 in the game. I'm not sure if that's a bit too late? I've this bad habit of wandering all over to get balanced encounters(instead of being overwhelmed).

Thank you, though.
