Reason #150 on why Fallout New Vegas is the best Fallout:

Bethesda despises it so much that it'll never get an update, remaster, or get repacked into an anniversary edition.

No Todds, No Masters

Given that it was made by a different company, doing anything with it may actually be legally complicated.

Isn't Obsidian also owned by Microsoft? Pretty sure it's just a matter of Satya Nadella giving the greenlight

Yes. Which is why there's so much speculation about the fallout rights being given back to Obsidian for more.

I wouldn't mind west coast to be taken by obsidian and east coast by beth tbh.

Yet Bethesda are/were the publishers when it released and Beth owned the fallout IP then and continues to own the IP.

Different company but the same dev tools and game engine.

Such a weird narrative that Bethesda hates New Vegas. Fallout 3 also doesn't have a remaster or anniversary edition.

With Bethesda's blessing, season two of the show likely revolves around New Vegas.

Personal conspiracy theory time:

The only reason they are going to New Vegas for season 2, is to lay down a whole bunch of Bethesda-fied revisionist history about the whole Nevada area.

They would want to torch the playing field, and make creating a New Vegas 2 that is worth a damn impossible, in anticipation of the possibility Microsoft might put Obsidian on Fallout too, after Outer Worlds 2.

After the studio closures Microsoft just did? Todd is probably, and absolutely justifiably, scared shitless with Obsidian and MGM Amazon's 'friendly' competition.
