Here's a question for you: What did Bethesda make on Fallout 3 that's better than it's predecessors? Apart from graphics.
Other than the obvious technological leaps, really nothing.
On the other hand, some of the greatness of F 1/2 is gone forever due to 3D gaming and its budget constraints. It's a different world, one where I thought Bethesda went way above and beyond their previous efforts to capture.
It's a pretty damned good game. Is it great? Nah, too many things are missing from the originals and it lacks the heart found in those earlier games. Bethesda, with the budget they have for games, were forced to compromise some of Fallout's greatness (adult actions, adult repercussions) to appease the masses and recoup their expense. Sad, but that's just modern gaming for you.
