![]() I think it is crucial that Bethesda makes a decision soon on whether they want to use the time gap of 2017-2018 for Starfield or focus that time with the next Fallout by Obsidian. So let's say that Bethesda hasn't licensed Fallout yet to Obsidian and Feargus was telling the truth. I don't see any reason why Bethesda wouldn't buy Obsidian after making millions of dollars with Fallout 4 and DOOM, and future profit from Dishonored 2 and Quake: Champions If we keep up with this process after Fallout 5, I don't see the purpose of licensing Fallout again to Obsidian, rather than just buying the company, giving financial security to Obsidian and removing a lot of legal actions when producing the game. So the obvious thing to do is give it to Obsidian because they proved they won't disappoint. I don't think there is any possible reason for Bethesda to make this before ES6, so they kind of have to fill that gap with a licensed game. Fallout 5 won't be until at least 2020, so Betheda needs that Fallout game. ![]() In order forīethesda to feed Fallout to Fallout fans, they need something to fill the time gap. I personally like Fallout over Elder Scrolls and that's just my taste. Elder Scrolls fans may not like to acknowledge this like they don't like to acknowledge ESO, but there are people who prefer Fallout over Elder Scrolls. I feel that it is in the best interests for every party, Obsidian, Bethesda, and the gaming world, to be purchased by Bethesda. They are still human and they don't really have the recognition from the general gaming community like the Fallout community does. They can't just produce AAA games like Bethesda and can't afford to just rely on one game at a time, but don't have the staff and money to branch off. And if you think they are fine with money, can you name their last 3 games they've produced? If they were making stacks with their previous games, you would probably know the names of those games. ![]() You can't rely on just one game for funding and FNV was years ago, so they obviously need something else to respark funding for them. What if you can't get another license and are stuck relying on their own games. When you look at it from their perspective, that's scary. Feargus acknowledges that in the interview, calling it a "gun to the head", which is one of the main reasons why he is OK with being purchased. Their best successes have been games contracted to them, which isn't something to be excited for. Matty described them as kind of a contractor, which I totally agree with. I don't want to get off topic from my Fallout: New Orleans defense and wishes, but I want to discuss Obsidian's unique situation.įrom my point of view, Obsidian is in a pretty unique financial situation. So this should be disappointing at first for most Fallout fans, but when you think about it in their shoes, they have no reason to reveal that information in that simple interview, so I still feel that Obsidian's could still be developing the next Fallout or getting ready to go into production.
