Fallout: New Vegas director Josh Sawyer has spoken about RPGs putting limits on their protagonists, as he reportedly starts work on a new Fallout game.
3 and 4 are genuinely the low point of the series and misinterpreted a lot from the original games. New Vegas was a lot closer to the original games. Yes, you can do heroic or terrible things, but I saw the franchise as very much an exploration of human nature during a time where people needed to scrounge and rebuild to survive.
In the old games, resources are scarce and you have to make ethically gray choices. There’s not enough to go around, genuinely.
