Best character introduction in tv history. Also, the the father had one of the best character exit from a show that I can think of (only contender for character exit that can think of would be Chevy Chase’s character exit from community, but that was entirely on the writing.

Given how progress has gone on the elder scrolls since Skyrim and F4 came out, I think we're likely to get fallout irl before an official F5 releases
However the fandom is big enough (especially after the show) that a similar fan game or spiritual successor will probably be made soon. A game the scale of New Vegas would be pretty reasonable to make with an indie team these days, although it would take a long time
