Alright, you are wrong on SO MANY different levels.
1. Bethesda was not the only company that wanted to revive Fallout you know, You had Troika, which had many Black Isle people. And you also had EA and Activision.
2. One of the only reasons it is thriving is because of the commercials of people getting their heads blown off. It completely fails as a Fallout game.
3. CREATIVE?!?!? Give me a break. FO3 copied both FO1 and FO2s story, gave it some changes, copied old factions etc. There is very little creativity in FO3.
Now, I am not saying that Fallout 3 is bad, its great, but it fails as a Fallout Game.
Really? Only reason game was success was because of commercials on TV?
Hmm creative. Well, FO1, 2, and new vegas, all in same area, same factions, similar stories. Oh, we got two new factions in NV.
Being the first FO game in about a decade, they did fine with me. Would I like more, and to advance on the improvements made in NV? Yes, and I would think that is a given.
Btw, this first game, 3, that BoS was major faction. I don't include tactics cuz it was a strat game. I love how people get sick of groups after one game when they major presence, cuz if that is the case, no factions should ever appear again. What a wonderful story that would be, no continuation, just randomness. Bleh.
