'New Vegas is a very, very important game to us,' says mildly exasperated Todd Howard, who will never stop getting grilled about New Vegas (www.pcgamer.com)

After apparently being given insufficient time to properly tune the game. There's another story going around about how Bethesda wants to increase their output since at the moment we're not going to see any proper Fallout from them until into the 2030s, over 15 years after the last one. I say hire Obsidian now and pay their bonus up front including their New Vegas bonus they got scammed out of last time.

That Obsidian is long gone.

The current Obsidian made The Outer World's. I don't know how you go from FO:NV to that. I guess the difference is that, while NV had jokes, the world was taken seriously with jokes added. TOW was essentially 100% jokes. There isn't a single part that was seriously considered I don't think.

Haven't you played Old World Blues? It was like the best DLC while also 100% jokes, even more jokes than Outer World while being the best DLC.

It had a lot of jokes, but it wasn't a joke. It still took its place in the world seriously and made sense in-universe. The Outer Worlds doesn't really ever. It never tries to be consistent.

Never heard that criticism about Outer Worlds and I wouldn't agree with it either. The story and world felt consistent to me.

If you've got the time, I think this has about the same opinion. I had this opinion long before these videos came out but (if they are the right videos) they have essentially my exact same issues with the game.
