While all of the Fallout games that developer Bethesda Game Studios has made after acquiring the RPG series from creator Interplay Entertainment in 2007 — Fallout 3, Fallout 4, Fallout Shelter, and Fallout 76 — have proven to be popular with players, they've also always been rather contentious. Many didn't like the more lighthearted, comic tone of Fallout 4 and 76 in particular, and don't like that it carried over into Amazon's ongoing Fallout TV show, now in its second season.
What Fallout's former developers think of the RPG's current direction has always been a bit of a mystery, though a new comment from a designer that worked on 1998's Fallout 2 and served as a senior designer for Obsidian Entertainment's 2010 Fallout: New Vegas and its DLCs reveals his thoughts on The Elder Scrolls studio's work with the franchise.
