To all those who are interested, I am a Fallout fan from the Netherlands who has been a fan of the franchise since I played the original Fallout in 1998, and soon after finishing it bought Fallout 2.

I have been following the franchise since then and had been highly anticipating the proposed Fallout 3 by Interplay also better known as "Van Buren" until its cancellation.

Despite it being a terrible replacement to Van Buren and an attempt to cash in on the Fallout brand I even found a few good points in the spin-off title Fallout Brotherhood of Steel. I am probably one of the few old school Fallout fans who actually liked Fallout Tactics and didn't mind its story and inconsistencies with Fallout 1 and 2 that much.

Unfortunate I am not a fan of of Fallout 3 and its DLCs, finding the game in general of inferior quality to the previous games, in story telling, Role Playing, and set up off the world. Some of the people who became fans of Fallout through it are a source of irritation to me from time to time when they basically tell me that I should be quiet about my own opinion while heralding their own as a fact of truth on the basis that they share it with a lot of people they know. Subjects are often what is considered progress in game design, or what marketing departments of developers tell people what is a good game rather than relying on their own opinions and experiences with the previous games.

I am a fan of Fallout New Vegas which rekindled my interest again into the franchise and I hold it in the same esteem as Fallout 1 and 2 regarding qualities I mentioned above, though the game play could still be improved on.

I hope that in the future it will be the basis for new Fallout games, rather than the in my opinion forgettable Fallout 3.
