Fallout 3 was very successful. If selling many copies is the yardstick you measure quality by, it may well have been one of the greatest CRPGs of all time. By other metrics it may fall a bit lower down the ranks. For example, the writing is quite bad (the water is thoroughly irradiated from a war that happened 200 years ago).

>(the water is thoroughly irradiated from a war that happened 200 years ago) This is what I always found grating about the writing in Bethesda Fallout games. Their writers think that the war happened last Tuesday and there are parts of the old world behind every other door. In universe, the war happened more than two centuries ago and humanity has moved on, in several strange ways.
