If you could change one thing...

To go back in time, replace Emil Pagliarulo with a competent writer, creating a time paradox in which Fallout 3 is better and reality folds in on itself.

How about go back to time and replace the CEO of Interplay to Brain Fargo so we will have better chance to see Van Buren happen?

Thank goodness, you will never develop a fallout game. Even the fallout 2 developers thought their humor was too much.
 
Fo & Fo2: ending slide bugs I guess. Dev cycle was already mentioned. Everything else just seems like taking from NV.
Fo3: let Van Buren get completed instead
FoNV: no bs contract (short development time, virtually no bug testing, a limit on the number of dialogue lines, probably a bunch of other stupid shit)

The Fo4 that would follow in DC: no continuity errors. Which could fix the timeline.
The actual Fo4: too much to change...start with the lack of coherent writing, or writing in general. The rest would hopefully follow.
Fo76: that it exists.

Arcanum had no DLC or expansions. That is a game a game that desperately needs a remake. Only make the combat not suck (seriously it was made after Fallout 2 and the combat is actually much much worse).

This gives me pause and a disturbing thought about the main guys (who tend to get all the credit) behind Fallout...

It's a thought that somewhat reminds me of Sting when he was in the band The Police, together their music was rough and simplistic—but catchy as hell, came with a bite, and was fun to listen to... yet later when he was out of the Police, his solo musical endeavors became more polished, complex, subtle—and (most perplexingly, given this) about as enjoyable unsweetened gelatin—IMO.

One begins to wonder if it wasn't a larger mix of individuals that enabled Fallout to have such an effect us all... and whether that magic can't happen with just the three of them. :scratch:
 
While I admit it's pretty shit, the combat never bothered me that much. It is kinda weird how badly they managed to fuck it up though, especially considering they followed up Arcanum with ToEE.
 
Let me fly the crashed vertibird in Fallout 2 (I believe this was originally intended) - also more hacking options with science in FO1/2, and give me a reason to want to make a character with early game outdoorsman, doctor, or first aid (actual viability in game, dialogue choices, quest direction etc)
 
Loosen up F2's narrative a bit more akin to F1.

No please don't. Mind you i agree it's a broken mess. But it's a broken mess containing so much love. A mess i hold so dearly close to me. What if the remake makes it popular? Streamlined sequels with the mass market as its focus?
This is egotistical galore from me. But i want that piece of coal experience to myself. Untainted. Unrefined.
