there's always the next game in the franchise.
To be honest, we had to wait for years to finally get another fallout game, then came FO3, wich I liked, and still play. It didn't live up to my expectations, but hey, at least we got a game that actually is playable and tries to keep the flame burning.
Now, slightly after the release of FO3 comes New Vegas. That's two games in a reasonable short time. Maybe they are now even thinking of making another one, so perhaps in one or two years we have another one?
My point is, the franchise is being brought back to life, maybe not exactly the way we wanted, but at least not in such a bad way it makes FO:BOS looks like a good game.
Again, I find FO1 and 2 to be more compelling, story and lorewise, but I really like the 3rd dimension added. now I feel like I am walking trough the wasteland, where in the other games I felt more like reading a book. I identified myself with the characters and deeply cared about some, still, I didn't have the feeling It was ME. Fo3 gave me that feeling, and IMHO that has to count for something.
Sure, there is a lot I didn't like about FO3 wich were done a lot better in the earlier games, then again, there were also things I liked from Fallout 3 that were done better in Fo3 than the originals.
