If you want. Pre launch reception is great and bethesda constantly sets records with subpar running and looking games

I'm not saying there is one. My original post in this thread was referencing the first look at gameplay when the game looked very rough. My.opinion was in line with the consensus. I watched a preview earlier and I will say it does look more refined. I'm not sold yet though. I'll have to watch more previews

Yeah, it looks decent visually but it is a decent scope game done on a limited budget. I think the dialogue scenes look better than FO4 at least and it had way more depth. Similar to new Vegas, I see people overlooking the budget and shyt because of its depth.
Obsidians next game with MS budget should show their skills. If they could do this mainly independently, imagine them with a trillion dollar company vying for their own fallout behind them.
I could see them and inxile, the wasteland devs, working on something
They aren't making this game independently. The publisher is Private Division, which is owned by 2K Games.

It's bordering now because Microsoft bought them and have relegated staff to helping build the game but it was at first, a game they were developing wholly on their own.
