Fallout: New Vegas developer Obsidian wants to return to the wasteland

PirateRyanG said:So the reviews said that ALL obsidian games were on-the-rails "glitchfests"? No. Just no.

Like I said before, many of these games do have bugs which is due to the complexity of the games and they mostly get patched out. Look at the majority of big western RPGs - for example Skyrim, Cyberpunk, Witcher, etc all had plenty of bugs when released. It's an incredibly difficult genre to create and so many player-choices/possibilities to account for.

Many people love Obsidian games (and for good reason in my opinion). If you don't, then don't play them. There's plenty of games that I don't like (for example, Telltale games - if you want to talk about "on-the-rails" games with NO game-altering choices at all, Telltale hit the nail on the head every time imho) but I just ignore them instead of going out of my way to post a personal opinion on related articles that they're bad games as if it's fact.

Out of interest, what western RPGs do you enjoy?

True fact: it’s not a thread on TrueAchievements if it doesn’t devolve into a bunch of manbabys arguing back and forth about the most trivial shit.

We need some sort of Reddit style karma points 😂

If you have an opinion that doesn't agree with what people BELIEVE is true, then it is never going to get heard.

Reddit game-related subs are full of so many mistruths it is ridiculous, and the stuff gets distorted even more each time.

Of course, trying to correct what a bunch of 14-year-olds believe on Reddit doesn't work out, because you end up being called a shill, no matter how much evidence you bring to the table.

Christ. I hope not.

More of the glitchfest that was well...every Obsidian game ever?

Then all the PR releases where they cry that they didn't get paid a bonus for making NV, despite not actually meeting the conditions to get that bonus.

Would make sense for Obsidian to do Fallout 5 since Bethesda themselves will almost certainly shift complete focus to Elder Scrolls 6 after Starfield. If not, it could be 10 years before Fallout 5 releases the way Bethesda has been going.

It would be nice to see Fallout as a universe get more attention. Anything that is NOT an MMO, please.

I'm down for another New Vegas, as long as they don't do anything like Dead Money ever again 😂

I would trust Obsidian with a Fallout game more than Bethesda at this point, honestly. Fallout: New Vegas was far and away the best of the 3D Fallout games. Even taking into consideration the bugs and glitches in the game, it stands above 3 and 4 in atmosphere, storytelling, questlines, and so much more. If they have the proper funding and time to make it and aren't bound to a game engine held together with bandaids and spit, they can really make something good.

Did the people in this thread even play New Vegas? Lmfao.

FNV was easily the best fallout in the series, especially narratively. I'd happily see them make a new one. Obsidians problem with their own original IP's has often been the gameplay, having a solid foundation like they did with FNV and Bethesda open world design is a great combination.

That being said, I want them to make a sequel to Alpha Protocol more.

Trombonafide said:Agreed! The game played fine after the patches. They should be able to make a great Fallout when given enough time.

LoL
I was not expecting these comments
Better writing than Fallout 4

Fallout New Vegas is a fantastic game, well deserved of a 10/10
The fact it hasn’t been remastered & released shows someone in management doesn’t want money
Obsidian could start development next year, and we’d still get 2 Fallout games from them before Bethesda releases Fallout 5
