I'm pretty sure they're on okay terms. There was the whole Obsidian-not-getting-a-bonus-for-F:NV-over-its-metacritic-score thing. Which was stupid, but not really a unique thing in the industry. Urquhart & Co comes across as too professional to keep a grudge over that.
I'd say a new Obsidian Fallout title depends more on whether Obsidian would want to work with a publisher in general (not Bethesda specifically) again.
They're currently developing a World of Tanks-esque with modern weaponry and capabilities for filthy Russian oligarchs, so they're not opposed to the idea of money projects.

Can you even pick up Antler? I don't think you can collect the skull either way but simply interacting with it.

Sounds like something that needs to be modded in.

Antler needs to be modded in as a shoulder accessory. So that antler can sit on your shoulder and give you sage wisdom and advice while you roam the wasteland.

Like, seriously, how big of a step up can it be if they're still designing the game around systems with 512 megs of RAM? :(

e: also, it probably means they'll still be using the same old janky-rear end engine for it :negative:

All of mine will evaporate if it really is Bethesda making it. Don't trust them in the slightest. The cross-gen thing is just more evidence for my opinion.

I definitely want Fallout 4 to be very good,
I will probably be a hypocrite and pre-order it and enjoy it even if it's not amazing.

Also, anyone else curious if it'll actually be called "Fallout 4?" It'd be pretty dumb/funny if they just called it "Fallout" like so many game iterations seem to do now.

Haha, you guys still think it won't be a Bethesda game even when it was the Bethesda studio account that posted this site and we haven't heard from them for years.

Yes, actually ex-Bioware developers working with Obsidian using ideas from inXile will make Fallout 4, Bethesda is too busy doing nothing.

We'll find out tomorrow, but only PS4, Xbox one, and PC are referenced in the pre-order portion of the css file. Might just be old left over web assets dumped in a folder.

It never stops.

There's no way it's going to be more than five seconds of a landscape, Ron Pearlman saying "War," followed by SEE THE FULL TRAILER AT E3, right?

But I am losing my mind over the confirmation, at least.

Someone over on NEOGAF has apparently found something in the websites source code that indicates it's going to be crossgen. If that's true it's a bit disappointing.

I read that as "crossfit" and was all "So they're going the GTA route and adding gyms?"

No thread yet. This is the only Fallout thread I know of aside from the console New Vegas one and the modding one.

I could give two shits if it's made by Bethesda or Obsidian, I don't think FO:NV was that significantly more impressive than FO:3, but cross-gen would be some straight up bullshit.

At this stage I would be genuinely surprised if they had 360 and PS3 versions. If it was a year ago then yeah but considering games are now announced a good 12 months before they release it couldn't possibly be cross gen

No no no. Strength and agility are pretty similar. Strength and Intelligence only. Skills are now Fighting, Sneak, and Speech.

'When should I do the DLC!??!' question (sorry).

I hit around level 18 after finishing Honest Hearts, story-wise I've got no further than Freeside working for the Kings / Silver Rush(?) and lots of other side quests.

I'm reading some conflicting stuff about when to do the other DLCs next and if they'll be in sync with my current progress with the story. In short, what DLC should I do next, at what level, and should I worry about being too behind in the main story quests while doing them?

It only took an announcement and people (at least gibbis people) are super down on Fallout. Oh well, I'll suspend my disbelief and be excited, and will probably like the game even if it's no better than F3.
