Metroid, Fallout 3, Half-life 2, and Psychonauts.
Make a F3 movie and never show the Lone Wanderer's face. Get Liam Neeson to actually star in it, and get Erik Dellums to actually play Three Dog. It's really a shame that Malcom McDowell is dead, but the stock audio from F3 could probably be ported into the film without a problem for Eden. Amata's voice actress works, but unfortunately the rest don't fit at all.
He's not dead.
Oh. Wrong guy then. That old guy who played Breen in HL2, he's dead.
Why Fallout 3? I think the first one would be more epic...
Firstly, because Neeson is awesome. Secondly, because it would be easier to translate it to the big screen when you can already see really well what it is supposed to look like (Fallout 1 and 2 were well done for their time, but Fallout 3 and NV are much prettier).
Thirdly, Liberty Prime. Seriously man, nothing beats Liberty Prime.
But if its epic you want, New Vegas would suit that just nicely.
Meh. Movies and videogames aren't supposed to be pretty, they're supposed to be
good. Story-wise, F3 and Vegas don't hold a candle to the first two. Also, insensate final sacrifice makes me wary.
Maybe a compromise? A movie set in the Fallout universe but with an original story? I mean, we've just seen Washington DC, California and a bit of Nevada. There's a whole USA to explore, and many other Lone Wanderers and Vault Dwellers and Couriers to rise.
Insensate...? Oh that. That's why I always bring either Charon, Fawkes or RL-3 along. They can shut it off without being harmed by the rads. So you have that scene as a fake climax, with the subversion being the replacement with a character who is rad-immune, and then have the battle at Adams Air Force base be the real climax. So, add in Broken Steel and the film works.
Frankly, I've tried to go back and play Fallout 1 and 2. I can't stand the turn-based play style after playing F3. It just doesn't work for me. So when you tell me the story is better, I have to take your word for it, and I do so with a grain of salt (nostalgia bias).
But I could be cool with having it set elsewhere. Just a few cameos or side-mentions would work for me.

How about an F3 prequel? .......Oh yeah, Liam Neeson isn't young any more. That doesn't work.
It needs to be somewhere featuring both the BoS and the Enclave for me to like it. My plot would also have more clear-cut lines between good and evil (not that either group would necessarily fall completely over the line one way or another). Elder Lyons is a decent man but what he does with the BoS, especially in Broken Steel, is absolutely indefensible. Its a titanic waste of manpower and resources for no particular gain. Frankly, his whole mission is like that.
Want to defend the locals from the Super Mutants and raiders? Help them build militias and fortifications and local supply sources and such; don't go sending your own men into harms way just to be helpful. Project Purity would have been more efficient and more
effective if it were run like a business, by a businessman, than like the charity he was running it as. Charities require local resource inputs to be effective; remember, they give their labor away.
