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.

    Obsidian has bled talent for the last fifteen years, they're not incapable of good stuff but much of the credited NV writers and staff have left.

    I coped about Outer Worlds for like a year but it is sub mediocre. Given the development mess Avowed has apparently been through, and that it looks like just Skyrim, and the showcases that are all just YOU CAN MAKE CHOICES BRO TRUST ME I have worse than no hope. Plus, it's penned in for the second half of this year but they've barely shown it off, this thing is gonna launch busted.

      I'm inclined to agree, though a lot of people liked Pentiment and that came out pretty recently so shrug-outta-hecks

        Pentiment rocked but was a very small scale thing and your choices don't really impact the plot.

      It's like thinking Blizzard can still make games as good as WC3 (to say nothing of BW or LOD) when Blizzard can't even make games as good as WOL. When will g*mers learn that you're supposed to follow the actual developers and not the development studio?
