Hey since we usually have to wait 5 years for another TES game, do you think Bethesda should do what they did with F:NV where they just made it a new game/gigantic expansion for F3 with same graphics? Even though it just had F3 graphics, it really did justice to some new Fallout lore and added tons of new things to do. Personally I wouldn't mind having another TES game in 2 years with the same graphics as Skyrim that takes place in a new province with some more activites and stuff. It would be better than waiting 5 years for just one province to be put in a TES game. It could be set in Black Marsh, with spears added in. F:NV was set in the Mojave with iron sights added in.

Anybody agree?

Well, Obsidian made FNV, not Bethesda, and I don't really think it would be appropriate for them to make an Elder Scrolls game. I can't say I'd entirely disapprove of it, but still.

2/3rds say no but I said yes however I want Bethesda to make it.

No. That's what makes the TES series so special.

It's fine with me, as long as Obsidian doesn't make the game.

Yes, because Fallout: New Vegas was 100x better than Fallout 3. Obsidian's writing is head and shoulders above Bethesdas, and Obsidian actually introduced choices and consequences, which is shocking for RPGs these days it seems. :rolleyes:

No. Bethesda had to take that break from TES to work on Fallout 3 (or something). Regardless of how you feel about the game, Oblivion was a result of the developers losing passion for TES and the resultant stagnation of ideas (and boringness of the game world). If you listen to some of the developers (especially the concept artists) talk about Skyrim's early development...they were really excited to be going back to high fantasy after doing Fallout, and I think that passion and reinvigorated spirit (and plethora of new ideas) is evident in Skyrim from the second you load up the game. Skyrim is a better game than it would have been if Bethesda had just gone straight from Morrowind, to Tribunal, to Bloodmoon, to Oblivion, to Shivering Isles, to Skyrim.

Now as far as Fallout 3 to Fallout: New Vegas (or as I like to call it, Fallout 3)...that was the result of a rather unique set of circumstances that requires knowing the background of the Fallout series and why Bethesda allowing Obsidian (because it absolutely could not have been anyone else) to develop the game was such a huge deal.

If i had it my way id like obsidian handle fallout and BGS handle TES

It would kind of damage Bethesda's reputation, but I would still like it.

Yes. Just yes.

IMO Obsidian's writing isn't that great, and I personally felt the more personal story in Fallout 3 was much better.

On topic: I don't want anyone handling TES but gamesas, unless they go out of business then I'd be ok with it.

Keep Bethesda's writers writing The Elder Scrolls, and have Zenimax acquire Obsidian and bring them in to write the Fallout games. You could even further it a bit more by having both teams work together on their projects to help pitch ideas, but do not simply give the job to the other.

Obsidian did pretty well with New Vegas in the limited time they had to develop it, because they were already well established with the series.

Also acquiring them would probably allow development for the games to go by faster. Split the entire team into two (with the Obsidian members included), and have one team work on TES while the other works on Fallout.

It'll still take years for either game (because of the amount of content involved), but it'll go by a little faster and probably make everyone a little happier.

Plus it sure would beat Zenimax constantly acquiring all these other game companies/game series (Prey, Arx Fatalis, Rogue Warrior, etc.).

Yes they should, pass the game off to another developer who can make a better game than Bethesda. Bethesda make good (extremely buggy) groundwork but frankly I found New Vegas had a much better story, more immersion, better balance and overall better gameplay than Fallout 3.

Hand Fallout to Obsidian. Or should I say back to Obsidian. The series never should have come to Bethesda in the first place.
