”I like that there is a difference. Fallout 3 has a very raw tone. Fallout 4 is a little more hopeful. If you watched a minute of each game, there is a very clear shift in tone, even if just on a visual level. There are moments in the series when elements of both merge to achieve the best possible adaptation.”.
