Finding their own personal way through the challenges of life in the Wasteland has kept players invested for decades. Every game also features its share of hilarious dialogue, stand-out roleplaying opportunities, and nearly impossible missions. Every game, however, centers on that unique, bizarre world that was first conceived way back in 1997.
These days, 'Fallout' looks more like an open world MMO, and it has genre-hopped several times throughout its history. When the franchise first began, it captured the wonderful open-ended feeling of a tabletop role-playing game and translated that to a top-down, turn-based, single-player adventure.
