IMO the Fallout games never had any great stand-out music outside of the intros. The 50s jazz was fabulous and atmospheric, but it was never in-game. The in-game music was ho-hum background music that sounded like they put it in because the game had to have music. By comparison, the Bethesda soundtracks are often sweeping and filled with emotion. They really enhance the atmosphere of the games, while the Fallout music simply 'was.' I'm not saying the Fallout music was bad, since I suspect that was entirely the point of it, it just didn't make an impression on me at all.

I would love if they took the jazz theme of the Fallout intros and put it throughout the game, or at least interspersed for appropriate moments, like in cities and towns. My main concern with Bethesda music is that it's pretty repetitive. When you make 'impact' music, like Bethsoft does, it becomes very apparent when you start hearing it over and over again.
