Tick-tock cycle seems to work best between Obsidian and Bethesda. Leave it to Bethesda to bring the technology forward, then let Obsidian work their magic into the technology.

I totally agree with Dazzerfong right here. This seems to be the perfect formula for making the Fallout games. Overall, i think Obsidian does a better job of implementing a Fallout title than Bethesda, but i feel as though they are necessary in making newer games. I'm just hoping Obsidian is allowed to make another game because they do such a nice job of making a truly immersive and awesome game. There's so much potential in the Fallout universe and Bethesda just doesn't seem to have time to go after it like Obsidian could.

What I want to know is, are both companies on good terms after the whole business fiasco I keep hearing tossed around within the fandom...?

Odds are that Obsidian is too busy to do another Fallout soon. I know they'd like to, but they've taken on many other projects this year that should have them occupied for a while. When they made New Vegas, they were still rather small with only a few games under their belt. But they've released more games between New Vegas and now then they made before New Vegas.

Not that it won't happen; it totally can. But it's unlikely to be anytime soon, let alone as soon as it was after Fallout 3's completion.

Its going to be a long time before another fallout game, but I'm guessing it will be by bethesda and not obsidian. While i think bethesda is better at bringing new graphical innovation and gameplay mechanics, obsidian is way better at crafting an interesting story that is memorable and sticks. I mean fallout 4's story is very similar to 3's, while new vegas took a creative alternative to the setting and story. I'd rather see another game by obsidian to be honest.

I'd like for Obsidian to take over Fallout as a sub-division of Bethesda, but with creative control over the series so they can do whatever they want with it.

Leave Fallout for Obsidian and Bethesda can focus on Elder Scrolls. It'd compact the release schedule, allow more time for both games so the finished product would be better, and would allow more post release time without Bethesda going directly into work on the next game.

i prefer obsidian over Todd "It just works" H.oward

They wouldn't get more time, though. You would get TES and Fallout more often, because they can focus on it, but I doubt they allot more time to making the game.

Obsidian, cause lets face it FO4 is already kinda "old" and not as fun with no mods yet. But FNV been out for what? 6 years? and well... we're still here finding things to make or talk about it.

I agree pretty much completely with SixShooter. Obsidian is better with the lore, too.

Considering the latest fallout games.
fallout 4 is just a train wreck. Shit story, little RPG feel Barely any fun.
FNV, awesome story, alot of RPG feel. Aloy of fun. So much fun I got each story ending before I quit playing it.
Hell I STILL haven't beaten fallout 4 other story ending besides BOS just wayyy to boring.

Hard to say, even though I enjoyed NV more than FO4 I can't hate on Bethesda since I prefer FO3 out of all of them. I don't know, the concept of this kid being forced to leave the vault and face this post apocaliptyc world is amazing to me, but even though I liked FO4 (unlike everyone else) it didn't hook me with it's story, it even felt kinda boring sometimes. I told myself that it was because modded NV is the best game ever, especially compared to vanilla FO4, so I thought that once mods for FO4 came out it would be amazing, but that didn't happen, there are some cool mods out there but others are not really what I want, right now in the Hot Files there's a mod that is "Lacy Underwear" for women... really?

Anyway, I got off topic, sorry about that. I think Obsidian should do the next one, now that they know what went wrong with FO4 they can improve it and make a better game.
