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.

New Orleans would kick ass as a Fallout setting.

Other fun options would be to make it isometric

Pillars of Eternity is one of the best modern CRPGs. BG3's success shows that there is a market for this if done well. No better time than now to try it.

Agreed on both fronts! There's a new thirst for cRPGs, and Fallout 1 and 2 are absolute legends that are dying for a sequel. I doubt Van Buren will be made, but an isometric Fallout would be an amazing gamble.

Realistically a first person one will be made first, considering the Xbox strategy seems to be "return to our core classics," which is safe but will probably work very well compared to the rest of the industry.
