What’s particularly depressing is the number of posters who don’t know that Fallout wasn’t originally developed by Bethesda, but by Interplay. Noobs never played Fallout 1, 2, or tactics, and are defending this theory because “Bethesda developed them both!” So sad.

Um... no. Fallout was created by Tim Cain at Interplay. Bethesda bought it after Fallout 1, 2, and Tactics.
