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.

Honestly Fallout has always been a directionless series. Fallout 1 had a very clear focus; It was a Wasteland inspired CRPG that riffed on A Boy and His Dog. Then Fallout 2 was a disjointed sequel were all the locations were made separate from eachother and the story was basically just a continuation of Fallout 1. New Vegas then began to return to form; a Wasteland inspired First Person RPG that riffed on The Postman but then I think it ultimately got hampered by its need to follow up on Fallout 1 and 2. I also really dislike Avellone's inability to stop writing nihilist libertarians.
