new vegas was a larger dlc rather a AAA game. and if it needed 2.5 years at the least then go ask obsidian why they didnt ask for a little more time. they obviously were able to deliver a game in 18 months, but they yet again went too far and mismanaged their time resulting in unfinished legion quests and the buggiest launch maybe ever

You want Obsidian to ask the guys who would eventually stiff them over a single MetaCritic score point to give them more time? Obviously, there was a rather hostile relationship between the two.

it was so hostile in fact that pretty much every dev at obsidian has had nothing but nice things to say about bethesda. so hostile that josh sawyer praised being able to work with creation engine

and bethesda didnt stiff them zenimax did, so it was something bethesda didnt really have control over. but then again, maybe obsidian could have not released a game THAT buggy and they would have gotten that bonus
