    Just let Obsidian make them, for crying out loud. Let them pick the engine, write it, develop it a reasonable time frame (the time they need) and make it as good as they possibly can. Despite the many hamstrings, New Vegas is still easily the best game of the franchise (at least of the 3D ones) and that speaks volumes.

      If I’m the guy pitching a Fallout project right now, I’d probably be pointing to Baldur’s Gate 3 as an example of how much desire there is for a quality role-playing game. Quality being the keyword.

        I don’t disagree. I’m just thinking of assets Microsoft has already got their hooks in. That and Obsidian proved themselves to be better than Bugthesda.

          I definitely want more games like New Vegas. I’m just not sure how much Obsidian wants to go back to Fallout as opposed to doing their own thing. It’s also been a decade and a half, so I’m not sure how much obsidian has changed since then.

        Good lord, could you imagine a Fallout or TES entry with BG3 quality? It’d probably be one of the best selling games of all time.

      Yeah? Well…you know, that’s just like, uh, your opinion, man.

        And yet objective quality doesn’t need opinion to showcase itself.
