In the case of Fallout 3 it doesnвЂ™t make much sense for the Lone Wanderer to pursue anything other than finding his or her dad. I will continue to labour this point throughout but in a RPG it makes little sense, in my mind, for the game to dictate what the player should do next. Honestly, I found this tedious when playing the game largely because of the impact it had on the roleplaying element. This pattern is followed throughout the entire story with one person telling you where to go next until dad is found. The path from there seems clear, signs point to a town called вЂњMegatonвЂќ where you are greeted by the sheriff who points you in the right direction.

I, myself, am one of those fans and whilst this argument might have played out countless times I want to share why my heart lies with Fallout: New Vegas over Fallout 3 any day of the week. The end result was a game that many Fallout fans believed had returned to the roots of the franchise and it quickly became a favourite among RPG fans across the globe. Obsidian Entertainment were handed the same engine used to develop Fallout 3 and were given a strict time scale at the end of which a new Fallout game had to be developed. Given that Obsidian was largely composed of former Interplay developers вЂ“ the company that developed the original Fallout titles вЂ“ it made sense to hand the property over to them. Internally developed chapter of the story, Bethesda made the decision to outsource theВ project to another developer: Obsidian Entertainment.

When the deal was done the franchise was in safe hands and it now had the stability to have a second sequel developed. It was not until 2004 that Bethesda got their hands on the Fallout franchise much to the relief of its followers. This was until Bethesda Games Studio was created and Bethesda Softworks became a publisher only. In the BeginningДЇor the first fifteen years after its founding in 1986 Bethesda Softworks was a video game developer that self-published its titles.

Each hold an important part in my gaming history and I felt it important to discuss the role that they each played in the development of the series. Despite Fallout 4 having been released for almost two years now I wanted to make my first blog post about two games that have a special place on my shelf of video games: Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.
