Your question on Obsidian, I don't think they would have delivered a game anything as good as we have now.
Welcome to the forum hidden_away, yes we have all met these so-called Fallout 1 and 2 fans, nothing wrong with being fans, but I find they do tend (to put it mildly) to come out with such a lot of guff with lack of logic and misinterpretation of such as Fallout 3 that is just untrue.
Do we really need to get along with them, I've tried to have a sensible discussion with them and I've had this seriously argued to me. "Fallout3 is just Oblivion with guns" ... and other such complete nonsense ...
I tend to no longer discuss with them.
I've never seen an NV basher on the scale of an FO3 basher such as those old Fallouts fans, an NV critic yes giving valid preferences, but an FO3 basher stating similar nonsense to the above, there is no comparison, and I've never seen postings implying hatred against Obsidian, they may not be as good at producing Fallouts such as what we have at present, but there's no hatred on the scale of what the old F1 and 2 fans come out with, not that I've seen.
You re missing a lot of things then, people tend to complain against Obsidian and blaming the for all the things that they didnt like
BTW,I see a bit of hipocrisy, in you post, you call Fallout 3 the true Fallout game, and you think that original devs didnt get the what they want to obtain about Fallout, but you think that Bethesda did it, among others things,
You arent in position of calling us bashers, since that you praise FO3 as not the best, thats subjetive, but the "true" Fallout 3....
Do you want to not get along with us?,fine, we dont need to get along with you then, since then other FO3 fans get along with us and understand us, rather then just call us bashers and elitist.....
And people say that they cannot say nothing bad against NV, but looks like that we cannot do the same thing when it comes to Fallout 3
