i'm terrified beyond measure for fallout 5. i don't even know if it'll come out in my lifetime.

I'm not even thinking about Fallout 5. Elder Scrolls 6 is next on the horizon, and Starfield does not bode well for it at all. It's going to be absolutely awful without some massive changes in the way Bethesda designs their games. I'm not holding my breath.

I doubt you'd be missing much

Microsoft honestly should just give fallout to obsidian to do another off shoot like new Vegas while Bethesda does elder scrolls. If elder scrolls sucks too I’m done with Bethesda.

Elder Scrolls 6 is going to suck, friend. Bethesda is creatively bankrupt. Unless we see massive structural changes to their organization, it'll be the same bland boring Creation Engine dated bullshit as Starfield. Set your expectations accordingly.

Obsidian just did that with Outer Worlds and it was a resounding so-so. NV was lightning in a bottle

It was better than starfield in my opinion with just a fraction of the money and dev team.

It was not perfect by any means, especially the weakest aspect combat (not far off from NV). But the dialogue, choices that matter, and different playstyle/ways to solve problems are still there. Like you can play a low INT character that can lead to great dialogue and a funny ending that i wont spoil.

I would give an obsidian fallout game a chance.

Doesn't help that so many of the Obsidian devs that made NV so great have since left the studio. At this point it's almost completely different people.
