P-E-S: Oblivion with Guns... aka the bestest Fallout... aka Fallout 3... aka "Them's fighting words!" ;)
Been a bit since I last posted in here. Anyway... Watching the show just got me into the mood of playing some Fallout again. Honestly, I was never that big a fan of the originals. I liked their world, but I never really did enjoy playing them that much, which was brought home to me when trying to replay FO1 and realizing I just wasn't having that much fun with it. I guess 1&2 will remain with just that one play through completion. Oh well.
So, yeah, Fallout 3 is sill my favorite of the franchise, warts and all, and I've played all games but 76 and those oddball Brotherhood of Steel spinoffs. I like New Vegas and 4 plenty in their own right, but 3 remains on top for me. So sue me. =P
Not liking the classic Fallout titles that much often seems to be an unpopular opinion, which I share, and I guess I'll meet you in FO court ;) I feel quite the same: the world is unique and extraordinarly well-built, and Fallout 3 is my favorite of the ones I've played. The TV show I enjoyed a lot too.
Here's a side note: a couple of years ago there was an Obsidian stream where Fallout creators Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky played their game. One of the many funny moments is when they comment on the clunkiness of the experience:
