    When you have to deliberately misrepresent that which you are criticizing in order to make your point, you are wrong.

    Even mainstream sites brought up how Fallout 4 would be disappointing as a Fallout game -- precisely because of the lack of choice, reactivity and quest design.

    Fallout should have been bettered by now in that regard, a quarter of a century later indeed.

    That's not what the current franchise holders seem interested in, however, as clearly demonstrated by the evolution from F3 to 76. The market proves them right. Players like to blow up stuff indeed.

    The production values were pretty great (the game looks great, all the voice acting is top notch, and there are lots of nice little touches) and game length isn't an issue (2 was much longer than 1, but a worse game). Other than that, you're right - the combat, character system, and C&C were all pretty weak. Same with the quasi-adventure game elements. It has NPC's that are needlessly invincible. I like the game a lot, but it's definitely a style over substance game, like a lot of other Codex favorites (VTMB, PS:T, etc.).

    Oh, you mean like fallout 2? Even if fallout 2 is better I think it's still worth it to play 1. Mix it up a bit, you know?

    sigh.

    fallout 1 and 2 have both aged well because of their character design, unique setting, artistic design, atmospheric presentation, and the breadth of the choice and consequence in them. only a select few CRPG games match fallout 1 or 2 in terms of reactivity
