I mean I’d be fine with an 8/10 fantasy outer worlds, but man I want them to capture that lightning in a. Bottle new Vegas thing again.

    Likely not, it will probably be a more polished Outer Worlds with the added dev time. If the writing is good, it will probably be better than Outer Worlds, but it won’t reach New Vegas levels as the team is fundamentally different.

      Yeah. A lot of the magic with NV was specificly crochety old leftists and fellow travellers writing the story, and I think all those guys, Cain and Avellone and Fargus or Feargus, whatever Brian’s name was, aren’t around. I hope the new guys can pick up the torch, no reason they can’t. The original interplay guys weren’t magic, just good writers with an understanding of America’s culture and role in the world.
