If you don't want Bethesday to make it - who the hell DO you want? Should the IP just sit unused until everyone forgets about it?

And what would be wrong with that? Do you believe that, because the original game was so good, the IP should be pushed more? Just because somebody can come along and use that IP and create a new game in the same fantasy world, or with the same game mechanics, there's no guarantee that you'll get another great game. In fact, given the average quality of sequels, I would say it argues _against_ the next Fallout being any good. I would argue that Fallout would be better remembered now if it hadn't had multiple sequels of continually declining quality.

There's nothing wrong with leaving Fallout on the shelf, and letting game creators work on more original stuff.

(For example, consider the upcoming game "Bioshock"; it is essentially a sequel to the System Shock series, using a similar game engine and strucure; but the folks creating it did not have access to any of the System Shock IP. As such, they had to invent a new world for it, and I think the game has actually benefitted from this.)
