I've been playing a lot of Fallout 4 lately and honestly there's a lot of under-utilized good stuff in there, that had a better developer like Obsidan had a chance to make another Fallout game, it would have been phenomenal.
Instead, they made The Outer Worlds 😒
Obsidian are nowhere near the same company that put out new vegas.
Avowed got delayed to Feb 2025, it also looked poor the last time I viewed a trailer
Yeah I mean something like abducting the Obsidian team via time machine after they've finished New Vegas but before it was released, to make them make a sequel derived from Fallout 4's build.
Josh Sawyer is still making cool games. A lot of the other people who worked on FONV are retired or working somewhere else at this point.
Edit:
I mostly mean Pentiment lol
I'm not a Josh fan, the main writer left to write Horizon Zero Dawn after being forced out of Obsidian, Avelone well he's freelance still iirc.
Obsidian haven't really done anything great in a while and they lack good writing. It's also not a great place to work under as far as i've heard. I don't expect them to do much better after Pillars 2 was disappointing and a lot of their games under performing.
Avowed looks like a skyrim clone and I am not a skyrim fan
This doesn't surprise me at all
I'm pretty sure it's not even going to be a good Skyrim clone at this rate lol
It's going to be a cut down Skyrim, not sure if it's open world. The last reveal trailer looked like it's going to be poor, barely showed off dialog either and that's a bad sign when they crow on about choice and consequence in the marketing spiel.
I'm thinking Fallout 4:Starfield::The Outer Worlds:Avowed if that makes sense (not that I've played Starfield though, lol)
