Fallout New Vegas 2 ? maybe ? microsoft!!!!!

[E.x.stazer]

maybe they'll get off their rumps

[Peter Renko]

no sir

[Grebo Punter]

I don't think a New Vegas 2 would be a good idea. The Fallout franchise has way too much baggage now, vastly different expectations from vastly different fan bases. No game could live up to it. Obsidian is best off sticking to their original IPs I think.

Now a NV remake/remaster, that's what I'd like to see. Preferably with all the famous cut content added back in. As long as Bethesda has nothing to do with it though.

as far as I know, the people who made New Vegas what it is are long, loooooooong gone from Obsidian. Aren't some of them trying to keep The Wayward Realms funded?

Wheres Chris Avellone when you need him, Tim Cain works loosely with Obsidian so Chris is the only one who can write good fallout stuff

John Gonzalez was lead writer and creative design lead on FO:NV. Chris was a writer, was involved in Van Burren development which influenced NV. Chris was more involved in some of the dlc.

John Gonzalez's only intersection with Obsidian was said 2010 game.

Chris Avellone in turn went Freelance in 2015, and thus effectively hasn't had anything to do with Obsidian for a decade at this point. In turn he was subject to Libel in 2020, with him winning the associated lawsuit in March 2023 and them fully retracting their claims... but is still effectively out of work as a result of said Libel efforts.

Yeah, this isn't gonna happen. Obsidian has their own IPs to worry about now.

My point was rebutting Chris being the only one to be able to "write good fallout stuff", which is not the case.

[Pyro Penguin]

it would only be a disappointment, today's obsidian can't live up to their legacy

Chris Avellone was publically attacked and blacklisted in the industry by left wing media.
As a result, he was out of AAA work for years. Nobody wanted to hire him. They destroyed his career.
Only recently he won lawsuits and started to recover. All accusations against him were false.
Left wing just tried to destroy him because of his non left wing views.

But I don't see why should he return to the company that basically betrayed him or at least did nothing to support him when he was under attack.

It would be nice if some old Obsidian veterans would join them.

From what I heard, main brains behind Wayward Dreams are Ted Peterson and Julian LeFay, both veteran devs that worked on TES 1/2.

highly unlikely. Bethesda most likely wants to scrub FO:NV from history if they could.

would be interesting, not sure if ex-Obsidian guys would mesh well with the Daggerfall guys.
I really hope they find a publisher without sacrificing creative control. There are too many PVP, MOBA, PUBG, CS, Hero-shooter clones as it is. Long immersive single player crpgs are far and few nowadays.
