I'm not loyal to anything, General... except the dream.
It's not common gossip, they've repeatedly said they're going to and then it's always been as bad as ever. Sometimes worse.

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
Because they don't fundamentally change engines.

We'll finally see if the common gossip that they've wanted to update their engine for years but the ancient liches that resided on the board of directors went "Spend money? lol naw" is true, because there is literally no excuse now. And if they don't people can shut the hell up with that one.

Take that rumor with a bucket of salt. Remember when Todd "It just works" Howard said they upgraded the engine for Fallout? That basically meant more duct tape and a rename. Technically an upgrade but not what everyone else considers "upgrade".

Isn't pretty much the entire core of the creative team behind NV gone from Obsidian now besides Sawyer? Gonzalez works for another studio and while Avellone is a freelancer he got outed as a sexpest and probably isn't about to get brought back in.

It doesn’t even have to be a sequel. There’s 200+ years of stuff between when the bombs fell and New Vegas. I just want another Fallout by Obsidian.

After the release of The Outer Worlds, I'm not entirely certain they can pull off another new vegas.

What exactly is "wrong" with the Outet Worlds? I haven't played yet because I didn't want to get EGS. Are there fundamental problems with the gameplay or big story plot holes?

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


It's just very uninspired in both the writing and gameplay. Everything about it feels very much "there" and it's not nearly as clever as it thinks.

Just because The Outer Worlds wasn't everything people expected doesn't mean Obsidian can't make other games, with different narratives, using different settings. It also doesn't wash away all the other good games they've made.

No, but it does cause one to examine the personnel they currently have and realize that many of the creative heads behind New Vegas are gone.

It's very short, the RPG mechanics don't mean much, the C&C isn't very inspired, the setting is sold as a satire of capitalism but was written to be Futurama (and not well) and it's just not quite there. For a game studio that knocked everyone's socks off with New Vegas's depth, The Outer Worlds feels like none of that.
