Indeed. Can you imagine the conversation?

Bethesda: Hey, can you guys develop a new Fallout game which more closely resembles the originals than our effort?
Obsidian: Well duh. Some of us worked on those games.
Bethesda: Great, great. Oh! And while you're at it can you get Mr. Avellone and that Fenstermaker fellow involved in a way which makes our team look like an elementary creative writing class?
Obsidian: Um. Is that what you really want? I mean, sure!

And this is exactly why I feel Obsidian will be given the next title in the series. I've mentioned this before, but ...but ... TIM MOTHER-[censored] CAIN is on the team. For Christ's sake! All the Obs-Haters are quite sure of themselves that BGS will be developing the next Fallout again, but could you imagine how ridiculous that would look right in front of Obsidian?! Don't get me wrong, BGS are respectable developers, but you can not just shut out that amount of talent on a team.

Here's what Bethesda should do with the next Fallout game in order for me to be 99% happy:
  • Let Obsidian develop it.
  • Give them an appropriate amount of time for development
  • Don't give in to Xbox exclusives (But with Bethesda, being a company and liking money... this probably won't happen)
There, three easy things that will earn my love, respect and money.

As much as many of us would like that, there is a reason or two to why they won't do it.

1. Their doing a South Park game, they probably wont work on another Fallout anytime soon.
2. Bethesda bought basically all game related rights to Fallout, and I don't see them giving it to Obsidian.
3. Obsidian will probably make their own series, assuming South Park sells well, since they already have good rep with New Vegas

And not to mention Bethesda has been working on an unannounced project since Fallout 3, which I can only assume is Fallout 4. But I swear to God if they use that piece of crap 'Lol it's not Gamebryo we tweaked it a little' Skyrim engine, I'm going to be very vocal of Bethesda's laziness >_>

Uh, of course they're going to use the Creation Engine. And why not? I don't mind Fallout 4 having the graphics of Skyrim.

He's saying that Bethesda advertised Skyrim as if they'd scrapped Gamebryo and made a completely new one that was generally superior.
Instead, come to find out it's the EXACT same engine, cept they've worked on stability some.

RPing has always thrived on complexity, its been the domain of smart people since D&D first landed. And now that the genre has blossomed on consoles, the gommo's have decided they want in, but they don't want to use their grey matter.

Similar thing that's happened to FPS games really (see CoDs deathstreaks. Psh.)

Obsidian developed New Vegas, but Bethesda published it. Basically Obsidian made New Vegas using Bethesda's engine from Fallout 3 and Bethesda gets to sit back and look smug.

Fallout 4 better not have crappy writing or go here and do that quests with a big arrow marking where to go. I don't think Obsidian will have any say so or contribution in Fallout 4. But if Obsidian does help work on Fallout 4 with Bethesda, it would be great.

I prefer the Enclave, after all, overused enemies are the best. They should be the bad guy in FO4, that would make me happy. GO ENCLAVE, even though I hate them to death. You can't even finish the main quest in NV with the BoS! Are you serious? Not to mention you don't even meet Lyon's, I thought he led the BoS for life.
I'm not going to even question the logic in wanting something you appear to like to be the main villain, again. As for Lyon's and the BoS that doesn't even warrent commenting.

OT: Bethesda wanted a 2010 cash-infusion between Fallout 3's last DLC in 2009 and Skyrims release in 2011. I'm just pleased that they had the tact to hand it to such a good a studio as Obsidian, shows that they do care about the Fallout Universe and it raised my respect for them as a company a fair bit after Fallout 3's less than savoury aspects and Mothership Zeta.

It's a joke

I love the Enclave <3

Because GOD likes me best and he wanted me to have one last real RPG before the genre was totally taken over by choose-your-own-story action games (like DA or ME) and FPS hiking simulators (Skiyrim, Oblivion, FO3).

Hahahaha fps hiking simulaters.... I like it.
