Ill be more excited when they give Obsidian the green light for Fallout Los Angeles
That's what I want to play, not Bethesda's new version of Fallout 3 where they dont stay true to lore and just do stuff just because its cool regardless of whether it makes sense in the world. Yes I value the story and consistencies in my rpgs, especially Fallout's story so if they could use Feargus Urquhart's idea of Bethesda handling the East Coast and Obsidian handling the West Coast then Id be happy and both gamers & fans of each studio could get what we want.
If Bethesda gives them enough freedom, but more importantly doesn't rush them again and gives Obsidian enough time to make a great game the way its supposed to be then Fallout LA should be another one of my favorite games. Till then I can only imagine. Plus the new system shouldnt hold the games back like the previous gen so there are a lot of possibilities.
Hopefully Bethesda makes a really great engine this time and include running and jumping and doesn't have the terrible bugs. The gamebryo engine was so trash. I think they can do it, but then again this is Bethesda we're talking about, the bugs will always be there
