Avellone's influence on New Vegas was minimal outside of the DLC. Obsidian still has talented people.
Wasn't Gonzales a lead writer on FNV?
He is in Guerilla now, so that's a big loss for them.
And without any exaggetattion, PoE is a far weaker title in narrative terms compared to FNV. Haven't played Tyranny, but didn't hear much good about it.
I'm very interested in this. Game has a name yet or not?
I should have clarified that the whole FNV inspired thing is just rumors. Not unlikely tho, given FNV is their biggest success. Not sure where I heard it, but Youtube is a likely suspect. Ironmask might be right on that one.
Anyway, The Outer Worlds is the name. Sounds very SF, but I wouldn't place my bet on it being "pure" SF or even SF in any traditional, mainstrram sense. It's Cain and Boyarsky, shit must get weird at some point.
