Fallout 3, right? What a game. Bethesda's first foray into the Wasteland was also a lot of people's introduction to the series.
To this day, it's easy to find people who call FO3 the best game in the series. Come the revolution, that opinion will be banned.
To those of us who get our videogame takes directly from a ghostly plane of objective truth, Fallout 3 is actually the fifth best in the mainline series, behind Fallout 1, New Vegas, Fallout 2, and Fallout 4, and I suspect my placement of 4 on that list will be the most controversial thing I say in this article.
FO3 may, or may not, be better than Fallout 76, Fallout: Tactics, and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, which unfortunately no one yet living has ever played (or at least I haven't, which is just about the same thing).
But don't get me wrong: The fifth best Fallout is still a very fun game, and I have fond memories of my time galumphing through the Capital Wasteland.
