** [[WordOfGod Tim Cain]]'s [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLI8W_yHW-3DWkSU6mCX4tqyuewz6cK3G- Youtube channel]] describes a lot of the philosophy and concepts behind the original idea that Interplay had for the Fallout franchise that are no longer seemingly relevant to the direction Bethesda has taken the Fallout universe — such as the fact that Vault-Tec and the Enclave's motives were a lot more well-intentioned earlier with the Vaults overall being ''far more'' benign in their experiments[[note]]All the Vaults were designed (in the Interplay era) for the idea of understanding how humans could survive the conditions needed for a generational spaceship so they can start over on another world and learn from the mistakes that nearly wiped the human race to begin with[[/note]] than the sociopathic ForScience route later Vaults in the Bethesda era would go for that would paint them as genuinely evil in the eyes of the setting.

* BTeamSequel: ZigZagged. It's a little difficult to tell who exactly is the A-team and who's the B-team. Whether OnlyTheCreatorDoesItRight or [[MyRealDaddy My New Daddy]] is just as good or better, or even who the "creator" and "new daddy" ARE at this point, are points of debate among the fandom.
** ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 1}}'' was created by a team at Interplay Entertainment that was later spun off into Creator/BlackIsleStudios. Black Isle handled ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 2}}'', but were largely staffed by new writers and designers who hadn't worked on the previous game, who gave the game its (in)famous comedic tone and treasure trove of pop-culture references and parodies.

changed Brotherhood of Steel "Interplay loved this one so much" pothole to point to Adored By The Network instead of Creator's Pet (as the latter is a character trope, not a work trope)


** ''[[VideoGame/FalloutBrotherhoodOfSteel Brotherhood of Steel 2]]'' was in the works. [[Creator/InterplayEntertainment Interplay]] [[CreatorsPet loved this one so much]] that they cancelled ''VideoGame/FalloutVanBuren'' to make the sequel. However, thanks to poor sales, ''Brotherhood of Steel 2'' [[{{Irony}} didn't get made either]]. Interestingly, when the design documentation was made public in 2009, it revealed it would have used concepts from both ''Van Buren'' and the cancelled ''Tactics'' sequel.
