The canceled Fallout project codenamed Van Buren, which was original Fallout developer Black Isle's second stab at making Fallout 3, is now more accessible than ever thanks to a fan-made version's release on Nexus Mods (via DSOGaming and PC Gamer).
If you're unfamiliar with Van Buren, it was a wildly different take on Fallout 3 from what was ultimately released by Bethesda after it acquired the IP from Black Isle parent company Interplay. Chiefly, it was an isometric RPG with a top-down perspective more in line with the first two Fallout games, and its story centered around an accused criminal whose guilt or innocence was to be decided by the player, dramatically altering which quests, skills, and communities were interactable.
