I agree that Bethesda did copy TES formula into Fallout, but it didn't make it any less of a spectacular game. Sure, it wasn't as narrative driven as NV or as well written, but the exploration and intrigue surrounding the Capital Wasteland made it worth it. Still, I prefer Obsidian's version of Narrative above all else, but they could still use a little work on everything else. Bethesda working alone to create the next Fallout like you said will be pretty bad, which is why I'm hoping for a joint union between Obsidian and Bethesda for F4.

I did enjoy Fallout 3 a lot, it's what introduced me to RPG's. It is a fantastic game, but its not a good Fallout.

I resent this as I actually like Fallout 3. Whether or not it is a re-skin of TES is irrelevant, and It's just not right to not play something, just because it may resemble another title.
I'm sorry but I like both Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas better than the originals, whether or not I've beaten them, that's also irrelevant.
