Going off on what @PaxVenire suggested on here in another thread back in March, what do you guys think of Larian Studios getting a shot at the Fallout IP? If Microsoft/XBOX were to give them the IP to work on a new Fallout installment, what do you think that would look like? & could they actually make it work?

It would look more like Wasteland 3 or Fallout Tactic, with more combat-related environment destruction and effects. Essentially if you are one those bloke who think all Fallout games are gameplay-wise janky, then Larian basically gonna make it fun and tactical. So, it's pretty much like Fallout Tactic but with actual story and CRPG stuff. It's like a comparison between playing Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity 1 vs Divinity Original Sin if this was 2015.


Though I fear that such game will also being more fantastical than military realism like Fallout New Vegas (post post apocalypse, less emphasize on mutant vs human conflict, more toward politic, state building, etc)
 
I'm sure they'd make a great Fallout game mechanically even if it had adjustments to suit their strengths but the problem will always be the lore, writing, setting and tone. Will they be doing a Bethesda Fallout or an Interplay/Black Isle/Obsidian Fallout?
Either way, considering the bloat that BG3 was I would probably not even try it as I'm not uninstalling a bunch of games to clear up 350 gb of space for one game.

I think Larian would absolutely be capable of making a worthy successor to F1/2/NV in terms of lore, themes, and tone, my question is if they'd even be allowed to attempt that at this point? Bethesda has fundamentally changed the identity of Fallout and now has full control over the East and West coasts, so the lore sort of goes out the window if they force any future 3rd party devs to abide by their chronology. That goes for any future game as well, either from Bethesda or a 3rd party dev team. The show ruined any care I had for Fallout past New Vegas' timeline.
