In a recent discussion, Jonathan Nolan, the executive producer of the Fallout series, expressed his strong preference for Fallout 3 over Fallout: New Vegas. He noted that playing Fallout 3 upon its release dramatically influenced his life, stating that it “devoured about a year of my life” and nearly derailed his career.

Nolan reflected, “Fallout 3 is where the journey for me started.” This preference may surprise some fans, as New Vegas is often viewed as the pinnacle of the franchise among enthusiasts.

As the second season of the Fallout series is set to air on December 17, which will take place in the New Vegas setting, Nolan looks forward to connecting the narratives of both games in the adaptation.
