Microsoft laid of 25% of Obsidian, cancelled the Avowed sequel and is making them make something that will be profitable.

I still can't believe that it took corpos 5 years to have this big brain idea.

Between avowed's lack of enemy variety and constant exposition dumps, I don't have a ton of confidence the current Obsidian's going to make a good fallout game. Especially when the decision to make the game is a reaction to budget and staffing cuts. Not a strong start

i think outer worlds was proof enough that the key talent or some kind of abstract spark is just gone from the studio. hollow echo of FNV's writing
