I do see it as a chance for the mainstream gaming community to embrace the Fallout series. From what I have seen, casual gamers that have been shown the original Fallout games were quick to appreciate the detail that went in to those games. Even if Fallout 3 is a gross mutation of the original quality of the series, it may just show the light to the uniformed masses about what it could/should have been. This could then persuade Bethesda to adopt a more traditional stance with further Fallout titles.
