Feargus on Obsidian's hope to make a Fallout

The Obsidian Forums have been running a feature in which forum users ask questions of Obsidian devs for some time now. In yesterday's entry, Feargus Urquhart speaks a bit on a possible post-apocalyptic title from Obisidian and on the wish to make another Fallout:<blockquote>As for future titles, I would like us to continue making both Fantasy games and games placed in other genres - like Post Apocalyptic and SciFi. A number of us have been toying around with the idea of a Post Apocalyptic Fantasy world. There are a number of campaign worlds out there that explore this idea and I think a really cool video/computer game could be made within a world like that. While we couldn't go with the campy 50's feel of Fallout (campy as in the Pip Boy look, not campy as in culture references), I think the tension created by having all the different fantasy societies trying to scrape by and rebuild would make for an interesting world to explore. As for a straight SciFi game, I don't have an real specific ideas about what we might do just yet. I know a lot of people around here love 40K, so I was thinking of talking to THQ at some point about whether they would like to a 40K game that is more RPG than RTS.

Finally, I should probably talk about the twin gorillas in the closet. I'm sure there's a correct analogy in there somewhere, but that's what came to mind. Anyway, I'm speaking of the the KotOR3 and Fallout gorillas. Both of those are games that I and everyone else here at Obsidian would love to make. I don't know if we will ever get the chance, but I do continue to talk with LucasArts about what might be going on with KotOR3. As for Fallout, like I said, I'm not sure if we'll ever get the chance, but I know that I'd love to make another Fallout - plus, I think Avellone's already designed the next 12 of them.</blockquote>Link: Top Ten @ Obisidian - Obsidian Forum Community (citation is from what is currently the bottom post)

The scary thing is it's probably true. And we'll never get to see them.
 
The scary thing is figuring out whether MCA made more sequels that fuck over the setting or not.
 
Please for the love of GOD make a new Darksun. That's pretty much exactly what he's talking about.
 
A game that implemented 3.5e D&D psionics properly would be teh awesome actually.
 
Fantasy postapo game?Intersting.And I realy hope they somehow get rights to make 40K rpg.
 
lol ive had the idear for a necromunda for years now. id love to be able to make it the game is just lush and full of backstorys would make for a great game
 
Now that Bethesda owns the license, it's possible they can whore it out to third parties. I'd be all for seeing Obsidian get a shot at Fallout. It'd be far more of an RPG than anything Beth is likely to spit out any day soon.
