If they made Fallout 3 the way the other games were made it would not have brought in any more customers. But now that they have a game like Fallout 3 more people are buying the entire Fallout Series. Rather than keeping mostly amongst cult-gamers.

We have these kids worse than Roblox kids bashing every single F1-F2 video, Bethesda made F3 in real time and with some cool stuff, i know, but they got rid of the freeroam that the originals had, F3 freeroam is nothing compared to F1-F2.
