Should DLC be outsourced to Obsidian?

Post » Thu Dec 03, 2015 5:30 am

Not half life one over Half life two? Noy really my idea of a RPG for either but I guess we'll never agree on anything. The half lifes were always just OK for me anyway.

Actually I wouldn't want to see either but I don't disagree with you.

Beth should make the DLC and I do not want it out scourced, that is a huge mistake. Borderlands 2 is the perfect example of what happens when you outsource something, never again. :brokencomputer:

That's because games like Fallout, Fallout 2 and Planescape were RPGs built off of the principles of PnPs and not designed to give players the freedom to make up their own game...in their minds!

Didn't vote, but I'd prefer if Beth made the DLC's, as long as Obsidian made a completely different/enhanced game experience, complete with its own DLC's. Although FO4 has elements I like for sure, the depth is certainly not deep enough to keep my interest for very long. I doubt I'll play more than once or twice, neglecting the DLC's completely, whereas Obsidian can keep me busy for years including their DLC's.

This vote might as well have just been which do you prefer Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas

For what it's worth I thought that Fallout 3 was a better game and New Vegas was a better Fallout experience but imo Fallout 3 actually had better DLC.

Perhaps the ideal thing would be for Bethesda to create a world and then Obsidian write the stories within that world. Can you imagine how good Vegas would have been if Bethesda created it, I have still never got over the disappointment of arriving there for the first time - really this is it!?! Compare that to the built up areas of Boston in Fallout 4 and they are worlds apart, The Vegas strip was protected by House so I was expecting it to be bigger, brighter and more populated.

Old World Blues was awesome.

It was also silly as hell and did not take the Fallout setting seriously at all.

Both can be true.

But yes, many of the Fallout designers at Obsidian have since left.

So the question is moot anyway.

They have pollinated other lands!

Not really. Tim Cain is there and that sort of trumps every single other person in Fallout-land.

Well, I hope the the writers of the great dialogs and setting of FNV can do FNV2, even if they are not all of them in bioware anymore.

But for FO4 I recommend hiring the guys from the 3DNPC team to do the DLC. Not only their work in Syrim with the Interesting npcs was great ( Rumarin, zora, the quest blood of the kings, etc) but they wrote some superb quests and companion characters for FO3 ( Spider, Mortar, the whole "room 404" and Mara companion, the quest Dot′s dinner, etc). I love the voice acting too.

To be honest, I do think I will never have finished FO3 if not for their work ( I like exploring but the quests and companions′ background and stories were painfully boring for me).

PD: Also, Emma the creator of Vilja for Skyrim-Oblivion and the modders who made Willow or Russell for FNV can take a pick.

NV is the best of the series in my opinion. And make more lore sequence than 3. Obisidan should make another Fallout.

NV was a very empty gameworld compared to fallout 3 and fallout 4.

I'd be really curious to see what Obsidian does with a voiced protagonist and workshop settlements.

Ignores Mr. House and Yes Man. Ignores the details of the NCR's exploits that make them no better than the Legion in certain areas. Ignores the details that don't really justify the Legion but show they have something to offer for the civilized world in their territories. I swear this is like the most cherry picked argument brought up when someone looks at NV's plot. It's almost baffling how people look at it so simplistically just to play favor to their fallacious argument. I guess that comes with being uninformed I suppose.

But constantly bringing up this point is making me feel like a broken record. Like every argument that has been made for this never dying Obsidian vs Bethesda argument.

Map be damned, I'd rather have an empty map than an empty role-playing experience like Bethesda serves up.

Ohh yeah.

Yes.

NV have more choices and options. In F3 and F4 you cant be a bad guy.

I wouldn't really care as long as the DLC is similar in size to either game. Both New Vegas and Fallout 3 had good DLC content overall. On the top of my list would something similar to Sierra Madre. That place had excellent atmosphere.

I loved Fallout 3. It's right up at the top as one of my all time favorite games. I loved Point Lookout, Broken Steel and The Pitt stories and gameplay. While I didn't really care much for Operation Anchorage all that much I did enjoy Mothership Zeta to an extent, although I thought it did drag on a little bit.

Compare that to Fallout NV where the only DLC I replay regularly is Lonesome Road. That's not to say that I didn't like the other expansions, it's just that I didn't find them memorable or enjoyable enough to make sure I play them every time I have a playthrough. Old World Blues was entertaining and unique, but it, like Mothership Zeta, seems to drag far too long and I end up yearning to return to the Mojave, so I can't really enjoy the experience.

So far, I think Bethesda has done an amazing job with Fallout 4 and I am so excited to see what the team brings to the expansions. I think they'll do a great job and there is just no way I'd want anyone else to create new stories for the Sole Survivor. If Obsidian gets a chance to make another Fallout, then I'll be ready and excited for what they come up with, but I don't really want them involved with Fallout 4.

For the record, I love New Vegas. I just didn't find it as enjoyable or memorable, in my mind, to Fallout 3.
