I gave Bethesda a ton of shit because I hated Skyrims schizophrenic feel, poor PC optimisation and general monotonous in every way I played it. I praised it for its brilliant landscapes, and not too much else really. Take out the negative criticisms there, include a brilliant fluency between turn based and real time combat, and set a barely existant society after the apocalypse rather than a society still building it and thats how I view fallout. A non-shitty futuristic skyrim with an odd, but epic, 1950s-60s feel to it to some degree.
Bethesda, you have earned my respect now :D
Edit: If you wonder what I mean by PC optimisation, Fallout 3 doesn't have this problem;
