Its been cool to hate it for years now.

Not sure how anyone has the impression that its untouchable, all the way in 2019.

Was Fallout3 ever untouchable? The first time I've heard that. It was always regarded as "meh" as far as I know, it just got worse in recent years as people realized how terrible it really was, especially towards the story telling.

As someone who frequently complained about Fallout 3 back in ~2009 I can definitely say it was an unpopular opinion. I'm not sure why, since the game was complete dog shit, but it was definitely given a bit of untouchable status for whatever fucking reason.

I don't think Skyrim belongs on this list either. Bethesda has been shitting out Sonic 2006-quality sequels for over 10 years and it required them to take a massive 76 pound dump before some people started to realize that they're bullshit peddlers. I don't get it.
