Tim Cain, a creator of the original Fallout, doesn’t mind what Bethesda did with the franchise. In fact, Cain liked Fallout 3. He even believes, unlike the vitriol-spewing Fallout purists, that Bethesda exhibited an understanding of the series with their first entry into the soiled and haphazard universe.
“I played and finished Fallout 3 as soon as it came out,” Cain told Fallout fan site Duck and Cover in a recent interview. “I really enjoyed the game and I think Bethesda’s designers had really done their homework.
“The game showed they had a deep understanding and knowledge of the key aspects of the original games,” he continued. “I even replayed it a few times to see how I could have different experiences, and I had fun with that.”
But, Cain admitted, he would “have done things differently,” if he had a go at it. As for what he would have done differently, though, that remains unknown. Perhaps a Cain-developed Fallout 3 would have had triple the “Doctor Who” and Elvis references.
