How do you think the Fallout series would be different today if Bethesda never purchased the IP and Fallout 3 was never made?

Spamming/flooding

Lol I didn't know that

>>724045582 (OP)
Impossible to know.
Chances are it wouldn't exist. You do understand that fallout was a dead IP before Bethesda acquired it, right?

it would end up probably as isometric view CRPG, which is the most dogshit genre and should die in late 90s. bethesda fallout sucks dick but it's better than whatever the series was before

>>724045582 (OP)
Then Fallout wouldn't exist as a series anymore today

There would have been another complete shitshow game in the late 2000s because Interplay needed some kind of money from the license. Then the license would go dormant for a few years and it would have gotten a Kickstarter reboot. Bethesda would have made a better post-apocalyptic game with the same assets because they wouldn't have made the stupid decision to set the game 200 years after the apocalypse.

dead and forgotten. fallout 1 and 2 are complete dogshit

Van Buren would've flopped, killing the IP until someone else bought it.

Easily could've been bought by an insurance company and lost to time.

Probably the same fate as Arcanum.

Then the Fallout series would be remembered as a classic CRPG series for white male nerds instead of getting raped, butchered and transformed into a souless corporate product with a normalfag "fanbase" that never played the original games and doesn't want to ever play them, see the responses above.

o have played them and as an oldfag i play tons of niche shit from thr latr 80s and early 90s. ill play the likes of ultima, wizardy, kings quest, liberty or death, uncharted waters, etc

but acting like fallout 1 and 2 were anything but trash is not hardcore, its just stupid. youre probably a europoor

>>724045582 (OP)
It would be remembered as an old niche game series maybe with a cult following

>>724049553
VB had been cancelled for years already. Interplay had no money or employees for development. It was going to do some kind of IP sale no matter what, and it was going to try to leverage that money into making a Fallout MMORPG that would crash and burn.

You're indian. I know that the world looking like the richest, most civilized part of your homeland sounds appealing, but Bethesda killed the franchise.

>>724045582 (OP)
Troika would have gotten their hands on it and we would have non stop kino on par with picrel

>>724045582 (OP)
There wouldn't be one, obviously.

>>724049884
The fact that you're calling some of the best-known old franchises from that period "niche shit" outs you like a neon light, buddy.
