This may be a pointless poll to make in the Codex, but nonetheless I wanted to make it.
It dawned on me recently that the best looking Fallout games are Fallout and Fallout 2. When playing them, there was never a point when I ever said "this looks like shit". All of my graphics-related issues had to do with the game being small for my monitor, nothing else. By comparison, the 3D games have awful models, awful textures, awful animations, basically they are ugly as sin. In Fallout and Fallout 2, everything has the same level of quality. You look at a still picture of the game and it looks like everything is in its place.
Please do not mistake "graphical fidelity" for "better graphics", or "3D graphics" as being better than "2D graphics". I know a Fallout 4 character has much more defined features than Fallout's, but that doesn't say how aesthetically pleasing the Fallout 4 character looks like.
