(Okay, given their attitude this probably won't happen. Who said, though, that we can't hope?)

Not true, for the first time in history, let it be known, that Bethesda has given out a NICE email reply!

On the Bethesda Softworks forums, i made a thread about TES for DS, and when I vouched for them to create it, they simply said something like this;

"Sorry, at the time being, we have no immidiate plans to create a TES game for the Nintendo DS. If that status changes you'll probably be one of the first too know."

I was like 'WHOA!' cause everyother email i'ver recieved from them was mean.

Someone could email Bethesda, here: www.bethsoft.com Go to the contact tab, and click 'Email' And ask if they'll be doing a promotional offer for FO3 by releasing FO1 FO' FREE!!one!!11

Anyways, thats all....

If such a selfish company as EA could release Red Alert and C&C 1 as freeware for promotional purposes, i don't see why Bethesda couldn't. G.O.G can go fuck himself if they don't co-oporate

Bethesda do not have the rights to actually distribute the original Fallout titles, so sucks to them.

Actually, YES they DO. As I learnt (from pc gamer), the story of fallout 3 take place at the exact same time as fallout 1......

That is so horribly incorrect, Fallout 1 takes place in 2161, while Fallout 3 takes place in 2277, that's more than 100 years apart.

Besides, it's impossible for Fallout 3 to be a real sequel because it's so incredibly anachronistic that it can only be justified with an alternate timeline scenario, which would be utter bullshit and wouldn't even be a canonical part of the series.

No vats of FEV exist anywhere else other than that which was destroyed, the Military Base, the Enclave, poof, gone. What did the Super Mutants do? Somehow survive for +100 years? Sure, their bodies regenerate to the point of immortality, but their brain cells still rot and they get dumber, they're either brain dead or completely extinct by this point.

Factor in that the only way for FEV to reach the east coast is if the Super Mutants carried a fucking five ton vat of FEV over to the east coast, a substance that is so potent that it can affect people that merely stand a few hundred feet away from it (see Harold).

Not only that, but there are centaurs in Fallout 3, centaurs were exclusively created by the Master as his pets, they should not exist in the wastes, much less the east coast as they're just wild animals that were created liberally by the Master on the west coast.

It makes no sense, I'm certain that they stuck these creatures in as fan service, but in doing so they've only made the game more of a contradictory mess. It's absolutely impossible to seriously believe that they were this dumb in regards to the lore.
