Fallout 4 and 76 are very ugly games. Just ghastly. I really do despise them. I don't want to play another game that looks like this:
they look like those old plastic action figures you could dress up in a little outfits
Not really, they don't look like plastic action figures when you see floating ribs, kidneys, hearts, intestines, eyes and suchlike approaching you, during the game. It's hilarious that they even bothered with a visual editor for the PC, when you can have bugs that completely destroy the design of a character, in-game.
I think it can be found in all but Fallout Shelter, correct me if I'm wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened even in their latest release, 76.

I think the owner of Zero-Sum works for Microsoft/XBOX in some HR role he would probably sell them the rights to PtD if they were at all interested.

I'm glad I liked Arcanum and PtD more than Fallout.
Well, now M$ also owns the rights to Arcanum too sadly.
I wonder if Tim would be interested to come back from his half-retirement to work on Arcanum 2.

Or on one of the Fallout non-numbered games that MS now badly wants after the success of Fallout tv series.

Tim claims to dislike working on sequels, but he did start design on Arcanum 2 before Troika folded.

After desecrating Fallout, you want them to destroy Arcanum, please let it die in Peace.
"Arcanum deserves the Diablo 2 Remastered treatment."
"When is Arcanum being released for the Switch?"
"You should be happy for more Arcanum content."

The Diablo 2 Remastered effect:

Making slightly better graphics, uglifying female characters, adding more diversity and removing any controversial bits.

those days are long gone. In these days it would fall prey to the horrible corporate design decisions targeted for the bottom of the barrel mass audience

I thought most people stopped paying attention to the franchise after the dumpsterfire that F3 was.

Didn't Arcanum failed/under performed financially the most out of all Troika titles? I know, I know Troika and "success"...
I always thought its totally dead IP and only on Codex you can hear some nostalgia about jew gnomes and blue collar Ogres.

We're living in a time where games that have links to Sweet Baby Inc are crashing and burning with their companies folding, yet the Fallout TV show got a pass on all that.
If the TV show flopped, it could've been easily part of the EDG DEI MSG FSG and ABC debate, fuelling some retarded youtuber propagandist grift.

Thank God it's not. So they can't use Fallout TV show as another fuel. So these imbeciles had to re use the base material and now people got bored.

InXile has had no experience releasing an open world FPS adventure game. They're busy with their Arcanum-Bioshock RPG reboot but no telling how good it'll be.
Obsidian's experience in the last 10 years was... Outer Worlds. We don't know how Avowed will turn out.

Why would Microsoft put the franchise at risk with either of these companies?
Especially when Bethesda's last 2 releases have been abysmal.
IMHO the smartest thing would be to release a spin-off. Maybe one of those multiplayer Battle Royale with some levelling mechanic. You don't need an experienced dev team to do it.

1. Pillars of Eternity (Saved them from being dissolved)
2. Pillars of Eternity: Deadfire (Commercially flopped, but decent RPG to say the least)
3. Grounded (15 Million players, a commercial success)
4. The Outer World (commercial success, "generally considered a good RPG")

The last 10 years was about making their own IP (up until they got bought by Microsoft).

The Outer Worlds 2 is natural conclusion to TOW commercial success. I'd wager Avowed is XBOX mandated project because Free market demanded it. Same case with Clockwork Revolution (InXile), especially weird when Wasteland 3 was a commercial success.

God Bless Corporate America. God Bless out own true God, Free Market hu Akbar bin Christus. God Bless America. May God of Capitalism guide our hand and save our bottom line.

I'm willing to give them a pass on The Outer Worlds given that it was a Private Division game. Avowed and TOW2 will be the real indicator of what they're capable of with a bigger budget and longer production schedule. Grounded was great, still haven't played Pentiment.
