@Rocket. Who else would you want to develop it?

I mean there are only really two major WRPG developers out there now aren't there? Bioware and Bethesda? And maybe Obsidian?

Obsidian, several ex-Black Isle devs are currently there. And I think CDProjekt could do a better job than Bethesda since Fallout is more up their alley.

 Didnt some of the Black Isle and Interplay devs end up at both Bioware and Obsidian? Either would be a better choice than Bethesda IMO. I've only played Morrowind and Oblivion and neither had a compelling enough storyline or Mythos to make me want to finish the game. Oblivion with guns would suck but I'm hopeful that Bethesda has at least listened some to the fanbase.

 I replayed both Fallout 1 & 2 several months ago, not long after I found out they were making Fallout 3, and they both have held up extremly well although getting them to run correctly in vista was a bit of a pain. There are still a few boxed sets of 1&2 + the sucky Fallout Tactics floating around out there if anyone wants to give it a try. Gave $10 for mine. I just wish I could find a copy of Planescape Torment and Betrayal at Krondor for a reasonable price. Most want more than original retail 60ish for a used copy. 


Obsidian (so far) has been poo.  They did Kotor2 which ripped its entire plot premise and half the character concepts from the original.  Their programmers did a terrific job on it, but their writers need a heavy dose of creativity.  NWN2 (another sequel to a Bioware game) was also not encouraging.  They have talent, but they're just not showing it off.  They need more original IPs I think.
