* ''[[Fallout 76]]'', announced in May 2018 for a November 2018 release.
Interplay, during its financial difficulties, proposed an MMO based on the Fallout franchise. [https://web.archive.org/web/20140211042454/http://www.interplay.com/about/article.php?id=40 They had been going forward with it,] but then as of January 9, 2012, [http://www.joystiq.com/2012/01/09/bethesda-settles-all-fallout-ip-related-lawsuits gave up the rights to carry on] after a settlement with Bethesda.
See Also ''[[Wasteland (video game)|Wasteland]]'', the series' [[Spiritual Predecessor]], and ''[[Arcanum]]'', the series' [[Steampunk]] sister game.
Line 242:
* [[Expansion Pack]]: Bethesda Software added a lot to the main questline of ''Fallout 3'' with the downloadable addons, including one module that revisits a key battle in the background of the ''Fallout'' world (the Battle of Anchorage), another that allows players to visit a city mentioned in passing by another NPC, and one that promises to address the brevity of the main questline by allowing players to continue the game [[Retcon|after the controversial ending]].
* [[Extremity Extremist]]: It is possible to play this way in all games.
* [[Expy]]: In Fallout 3, the [https://web.archive.org/web/20130816005141/http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/
** [[Putting on the Reich|They probably both had the same inspiration]].
* [[Eye Scream]]: Eyes can be targeted, as can the groin, and is in fact a better target (blinding, one-hit kills). Get your accuracy with any weapon class up to a high enough level, and shots ''to the eyes'' can and will solve most of your combat-related problems. Eyeballs are also part of the gibs in ''Fallout 3'', and if a critical hit to the head is scored they will fly out at high speed, sometimes hilariously towards the camera in VATS mode.
Line 480:
* [[The Sponsor]]: The player becomes this for NPCs with whom he will spend a grand total of four minutes in conversation. (In contrast, if the player character gets addicted in Fallout, the only moral support they get is a shot of detox meds and a stern reprimand.)
* [[Stealth Run]]: Possible in all three games.
* [[Stock Footage]]: One piece of promotional art for [https://web.archive.org/web/20110605074207/http://www.bravenewgamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/fallout-new-vegas_22.jpg New Vegas] was just concept art for [https://web.archive.org/web/20111112062948/http://images.wikia.com/fallout/images/4/4e/Fallout_3_Paradise_Falls_Concept_Art.jpg Paradise Falls] from Fallout 3, with the sign in the background changed.
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: Each [[Definitely Final Dungeon]] inevitably ends in this, in every game. {{spoiler|In Tactics, you choose whether it does or not. Canonically, however, it does.}}
** In New Vegas, {{spoiler|there is neither a definitive [[Big Bad]] nor a definitive [[Definitely Final Dungeon]], so instead you get Ulysses, who is a [[Foil]] to the main character, and the fact that he is willing to nuke all of civilization back to the stone age marks him as one of the main antagonists of the game. Even if you stop the launch, the nukes still go off.}}
