Many years later, I missed the Fallout franchise, so when Fallout 3 was released, I thought it was fine. Not great, but fine. DLCs were fine too, in my opinion back then.
But when I played Fallout New Vegas (again at release), I realized how I really missed the Fallout franchise. Fallout 3 was just hiding nostalgia, as a clumsy patchwork hiding the void behind it. I realized that while I played every Fallout many times before Fallout 3, I didn't come back to Fallout 3 before New Vegas. My nostalgia deceived me when I played Fallout 3, and New Vegas really made me realize that. I don't consider New Vegas as a Fallout game superior to Fallout 1 or Fallout 2 (I don't compare to Tactics since gameplay is different). But I am thankful for Obsidian and New Vegas to make me stop being delusional on the whole Fallout franchise.
