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.

    I really doubt it. To me, the closest they've gotten to a New Vegas is probably Tyranny, but it's a Infinity Engine style game.

        I loved Pentiment, too, but I just wouldn't really compare it to New Vegas tbh. Tyranny has the whole element of building a coalition of factions and multiple endings thing going for it that makes it feel New-Vegasey to me. The comparison is probably a bit of a stretch, but it makes sense to me at least lol.

          FNV is built on the chassis of a game with awful mechanics. It's actual strong point is the narrative. FNV might as well have been a point-and-click adventure, I'd argue.

          Similarly, Avowed will have similar mechanics to Skyrim, FNV, Outer Worlds, etc. In terms of gameplay, it will be the same Bethesda slop. The question is whether or not it will have the narrative to make it stand out.
