Todd Howard Needs to Listen Why Bethesda Fans Claim the Fallout 3 Remaster Is ‘Necessary’

While Fallout 3 debuted all the way back in 2008, it’s still one of the best entries we’ve ever seen in the post-apocalyptic franchise. No one had expected Bethesda to nail this game, as it was the developer’s first step into the franchise. However, Todd Howard and his team surprised everyone by delivering a generational hit.

Fallout 3 is an incredible game, but its age is starting to show compared to modern RPGs. Rumors suggest that, just the Oblivion Remastered, Bethesda might give the beloved post-apocalyptic RPG an overhaul with modern-day visuals and gameplay mechanics.

says that a Fallout 3 remaster is “absolutely necessary”. While they absolutely adore the RPG, they’re not a big fan of its combat system and believe that it’s in desperate need of an overhaul as it forces players to rely on V.A.T.S.

also chimed in and pointed out the technical problems with Fallout 3. The game “doesn’t play nice” when it’s played on modern operating systems such as Windows 11. Without the help of community-made mods, the game constantly crashes out and even fails to launch.

got an opportunity to chat with Nesmith on Bethesda’s latest remastering push. The former Bethesda developer stated that he would also like to see a Fallout 3 remaster and expects Bethesda to improve upon the gun combat as it wasn’t the RPG’s strongest suit.

According to Nesmith, the remaster must take notes from Fallout 4 and implement what Bethesda had learned from the fourth entry’s combat system.

Nesmith also took the example of Oblivion Remastered and stated that it wasn’t just updated to be on par with Skyrim but instead overhauled to the point where it surpasses anything seen in Skyrim.

The former Bethesda developers state that Fallout 3 was Bethesda’s first attempt at a shooter-type game, and there’s definitely room for improvement.

With that said, do you think remastering Fallout 3 is absolutely necessary for Bethesda and Howard? Let us know in the comments below.
