mod edit: try again without the clickbait title. New thread permissions ride on it.

With the purchase of inXile, Obsidian, and now Bethesda, MS has united a great deal American RPG talent as well as IP. But now they have a bit of a problem...

Their two biggest RPGs now are Avowed -- an Elder Scrolls-like set in the Pillars of Eternity universe, but essentially a new IP -- and The Elder Scrolls VI, which will have a similar market but with a much larger, more established fanbase.

There's a bigger opportunity here: Bethesda is not currently working on a Fallout 5. Obsidian has a lot of people who have a connection to the classic Fallout legacy, as well as New Vegas. inXile has some Fallout vets as well. MS would be much better served by having Obsidian lead up a proper Fallout game while Bethesda concentrates on TES6 and Starfield. It's a huge missed opportunity if they don't.

whats with all these stupid threads lately?

 

[TonyK]

No, thanks. I prefer a new IP. ALWAYS!

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

I'd rather they didn't.

 

[MH3M3D]

Time for new IP indeed. Hope its something great.

 

[Laptop1991]

No, 2 games to play is better than just 1, why does it only have to be 1 lol.

 

[cormack12]

Some context:



I think they might be a good guide for things to incorporate into Avowed, it might also give them a chance to take a proper look at UE5 and see if they get what they need from it instead of having their own custom engine.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Fallout, and Elder are probably getting sequels

 

[digoutyoursoul]

I’d rather see a new IP given a chance

 

[Dontuseducks]

LOL, come on, what is this? 'Now that MS owns IP's, they should cancel them'

The game looks really promising, so please no, don't cancel it.

For more than a year and a half a certain fanbase was sitting high on the hog slinging shit at the Xbox. Then Nadella and Phil slapped their dicks on the table on Monday and they got shook.

With all this hype, some people get really dumber.

 

[RoboFu]

lol no

 

[KingXtreme81]

Holy fuck what's wrong with people!?. Sorry, OP, but, daaaamn, that is just stupid.

 

[Rob_27]

Er no, they need to keep it. See what direction and story they take.

 

[jigglet]

This thread is fucking stupid.

So it's safe to say - you're concerned?

 

[a multicultural team of v]

Ah yes, the popular "buy studios to cancel games" tactic.

 

[Rheon]

Extremely bad take, my dude.

 

[Andodalf]

OP I'm marrying your mother and canceling you

 

[LazyParrot]

They should cancel TES6. It's probably going to be the worse game of the two.

 

[SoggyBiscuit]

That's a terrible idea. Microsoft need to flesh out their roster with new IP, not cancel whatever new and interesting ideas their studios might have.

Bad take, OP.

 

[GenericUser]

we xbros get Avowed AND Tes6 AND Fallout 5, what a time to be alive.
