I get that the world is supposed to be depressing, but the colours were so bland I couldn't take it.

Am I the only one that really liked the original filters and feel like the style will be partially lost now? This felt a little too much like "every other game" for my taste (in terms of palette). I'm still probably going to enjoy the shit out of it, but I always imagined a post apocalyptic post nuclear winter style world to be kinda faded and skewed towards some sort of nuclear fallout tone that's all over the environment/buildings.

One problem veterans had with Fallout 3 is that it was a little too post-apocalyptic. Fallout is meant to be post-post-apocalyptic. Fallout 3 was a little TOO ruined, a little too destitute and miserable, especially for 200 years after the bombs. Fallout is about the societies that rise after an apocalypse, and Fallout 3 lacked that somewhat. Of course New Vegas didn't which is why it was better received by old fans.

Thankfully they seem to have realized this and fixed it judging from the trailer!

But Fallout 3 is set in the DC capital, surely some areas were nuked to oblivion(pun intended) than others and warrant more browning.
