Even with this pandering to a casual audience, which I think is bloody stupid given the fact that casual audiences are DRAWN by what their more, shall we say, "dedicated" gamer friends and acquaintances tell them to play and will no doubt ignore a title if it's ♥♥♥♥-canned by those who would otherwise thoroughly enjoy it, I doubt I'll lose my love of Fallout. That isn't to say I hate that sort of game one of my favourite psuedo-RPG/RTS games is Omerta: City of Gangsters, which is very heavy on the side of turn-based combat. The turn-based combat of Fallout 1 & 2 is a turn-off for me, having only played half-way through Fallout 1 and even then only having retrieved the water-chip, due to my admitted impatience and the ease of which one can die in said turn-based games causing spasms of frustration.
I played a bit of Fallout 1 & 2 on disk but never bothered to pick them up on Steam owing to my own personal preference for non-turn-based combat in games, specifically RPGs. The only Interplay titles I've ever played and finished are Fallout Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel, both of which were spin-offs of the original isometric titles to my knowledge and both of which showcased perfectly the dry, dirty humour of Fallout in all it's rugged glory. Second was Fallout: New Vegas, which I also thoroughly enjoyed, albeit to a slightly lesser extent than Fallout 3 for reasons I'm still not sure of. Being a fan of retro-futurism and diesel-punk, I fell in love with the game's aesthetic and even found the story to be one of the most enjoyable I've ever personally played. First Fallout title I played was Fallout 3: GOTY edition around 2009 loved it. I'll say this I'm a Fallout fan boy, be it Interplay, Obsidian or Bethesda, I love them all for their overall setting, characters and places and nothing can ever dissuade me from clinging on to the title.
