Wait... you enjoyed Fallout : NV more then Fallout 3...?
You've got to be kidding me! Bethesda took fallout three, and made it a game to be remembered, then as soon as Obsidian takes back over, they basicly just copy all the ideas from Fallout 3 with a few new added shit, oh now I can attach things to my guns, woop-de-fucking-do.
Actually, they made a Game which was far more connected to Fallout 1 and 2, and re-added the variety of weapons (Not quite as many, but approaching that of Fallout Tactics:BoS) and the ability to modify them that was in Fallout 2, they brought back a lot of the humour that fallout 3 was missing, and kept a lot closer to canon, as well as making character variety closer to the originals, companions that don't suck, and a karma/notoriety system that was more realistic in entity, and more akin to the one in the older original Fallout games, I mean sure at launch and for awhile after it was buggy as hell, but then again anyone who will fault them on that should also look at a lot of other games with the same problem, this is an industry wide problem not just one or two companies.
I'm not saying they "Did it better!" or anything, but I am saying that it tied in with the series FAR BETTER than 3 did... also in 3 they never explained how Harold made that epic journey accross an entire fucking continent including surmounting the rockies to get all the way to DC, hell he was pretty much the only real tie to the old games, and as a wonderful add in for fans, they KILLED HIM OFF, as a tiny completely forgettable, and generally unimportant sidequest.
Just saying, I don't want obsidian to touch elder scrolls stuff, but another fallout addition wouldn't go amiss.
Also Obsidian has people from Black Isle studios, y'know the guys who worked under interplay to make fallout 2, in their staff, they know fallout.
they didn't "Steal Ideas from fallout 3" they used their knowledge and adapted it to the engine given to them to make another fallout game.
