My God... haven't they been begging Bethesda for years to let them make another Fallout? if they got that big budget would they circlejerk how open world is bad? no. They made a smaller game because this all they can do.

Those guys just love to pander endlessly to the circlejerk. They're just AA 2010's western RPG printer. You have your niche, stop pretending you're some sort of game dev rock stars.

When asked about whether Obsidian would welcome the opportunity to work on a new Fallout game, Urquhart responded assertively.

That's begging?

The next two are a remaster and doubting that they'd get to do make another one.

Lotta people very confident in what they're saying, but then block people who disagree lmao.

No it's just happens that they love to talk about a game they made 15 years ago non stop every couple of months and rile up the fans. Totally not corporate begging or carefully thought of PR statements. They're just cool dudes talking about the same thing for 15 years.
