Throwing money at it doesn't necessarily result in genuine accomplishments. It doesn't mean Bethesda will hire better writers, though it is possible, it is no guarantee. Personally, I don't care about the massive popularity that Bethesda brought to the Fallout franchise if all it did was to...

I don't know if these was mentioned before, so apologies if I make another thread about it. Nowhere have I seen anyone, in any town make use of slaves. No one seems to be buying or selling them. In Fallout 2 at least its apparent that Vault City was buying slaves from the Den. There aren't...

I love FPS games. I practically grew up with them. The first game on the PC I played was a shooter, Doom. I'm also enjoying the newer FPS games. At least those games don't have an identity crisis like Fallout 3 nor pretend to be anything else. Fallout 3 FPS or RPG? I can't tell. All I know...

The fact that it has such a dedicated hard core fan base says much about what impact the original makers of the Fallout series made with their games. Bethesda didn't keep Fallout alive. The fans did. And if anything, they owe the fans for contributing to the exposure of this franchise. If...
