The layoffs at one of your studios most able to ship games is a bonkers, stupid decision; but pivoting Obsidian to making a new Fallout game is a good business decision if you don’t care about what your creatives feel led to create.

    I know the new vegas fans will be excited to hear obsidian working on fallout. But to them I ask, have you played an obsidian game recently?

      I actually haven’t. They did outer worlds and I don’t think I’ve heard from them since. What have they put out that’s unsatisfactory since then?

        I know nothing about Avowed so I cant say that its good or bad., but its the only game I’ve seen that has had any criticism from Obsidian.

        Obsidian has a fairly solid record, and are at the very tippy top of any list of people I’d want working on a new Fallout game.

    Apparently according to the reporting: Josh Sawyer and John Gonzalez are back at Obsidian. The New Vegas brain trust.

    WHY WASN’T THIS IN PRODUCTION YEARS AGO
