<Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . (January 2015) </Td> </Tr> <P> The Fallout series has been met with positive reception . The highest rated title is Fallout 3 according to review aggregator Metacritic . </P> <P> Not all fans are happy with the direction the Fallout series has taken since its acquisition by Bethesda Softworks . Notorious for their vitriolic support of the series' first two games, Fallout and Fallout 2, members centered around one of the oldest Fallout fansites, No Mutants Allowed, have cried foul over departures from the original games' stories, gameplay mechanics and setting . Minor criticisms include the prevalence of unspoiled food after 200 years, the survival of wood - framed dwellings after a nuclear blast, and the ubiquity of Super Mutants at early levels in the game . More serious criticisms involve the quality of the game's writing, a perceived lack of verisimilitude, the switch to a first - person action game format, and the reactiveness of the surrounding game world to player actions . In response, Jim Sterling of Destructoid has called fan groups like No Mutants Allowed "selfish" and "arrogant"; stating that a new audience deserves a chance to play a Fallout game; and that if the series had stayed the way it was back in 1997, new titles would never have been made and brought to market . Luke Winkie of Kotaku tempers these sentiments, saying that it is a matter of ownership; and that in the case of Fallout 3, hardcore fans of the original series witnessed their favorite games become transformed into something else and that they are "not wrong" for having grievances . </P> <P> The redesigned dialogue interface featured in Fallout 4 received mixed reception by the community . Unsatisfied fans created mods for the game, providing subtitles and allowing the player to know what their character would say prior to choosing it as it was in previous games in the franchise such as in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas . Though even taking the mods into account, Patricia Hernandez of Kotaku still criticized the writing of the game in her review, describing it as "thin", "You never have particularly long or nuanced conversations with the other characters . I like to play a Charisma - focused character, and I was disappointed ." </P>
