The part you are omitting is that we now know Van Buren would have been hot garbage because the people working on it said it was. Not enough money and no other company had enough money for FO3 either. Bethesda’s Fallout leading to FNV because Todd wanted to honor black isle is ironically, the best timeline. VB or any other successor would’ve been a ‘crpg’ but a less fun game than 3, and worse than FNV.
Up until 76 and the show, the real patricians recognized this as a worthy sacrifice. Until Bethesda bends the knee to the classicfags again, people incorrectly widely think this is the worse timeline.
>fallout would have been better off dead!
Like Arcanum did? It would not have stayed dead as we now know from the attempts at soulless Arcanum mobile games that got leaked. Nothing stays dead. This isn’t perfect but this is the “least bad” fallout timeline.
