2 short, what is it a movie? Anyways i'm interested.......

The next in the Fallout video game series

Oh man, check it out, another Obsidian game. Let's hope they actually finish this one. Although to be fair, even at 89% complete like most of their efforts it will probably have a narrative light years ahead of anything Bethesda could hope to accomplish.

Really? 'Cause I found F3 5to be the best of the bunch so far. Don't know any of the other Obsidian games, though.

Fallout2 was/is a bad ass game. Really improved on the original.
I never played 3...

Mechanically 3 was probably the best of the bunch (I say probably because the No More Mutants could find me even here, and I don't need that kind of neck bearded hassle. Plus the game had it's fair share of faults.) however it's narrative was--well I guess "none invasive" would be the nicest term I could use for it, not as poor as the main narrative in Oblivion or anything but certainly not all it could've been.

As for Obsidian they're a team made up of former Black Isle staff (arguably most importantly being Chris Avellone, one of the handful of not terrible writers currently working in games). Stuff they worked on:
-The amazing but incomplete Knights of the Old Republic 2.
-The okay but incredibly buggy and just a little bit incomplete feeling Neverwinter Nights 2.
-The really rather good and not all that buggy either Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer.
-The poor man's Icewind Dale (but with better quest dialogue) Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zephyr.
-The (better fucking well be, or there will be trouble) awesome, entirely complete and utterly bug-free upcoming spy extravaganza that is Alpha Protocol.

So yeah, hopes of New Vegas being a mechanical tour de force? Not high. Expectations that it will have a strong and compelling narrative? Stupidly high.
Although I actually don't give a fuck as long as Alpha Protocol lets me create a character that looks like Tony Almeida and let's me run around knee-capping and head-butting people while screaming "MICHELLE!!!!". Then I'll be living the dream and every other RPG (with the exception of Mass Effect 3) will be beneath my notice.
