I love Fallout 3, and across all playthroughs, I've spent probably close to 200 hours on the game. Needless to say, I'm pretty damn excited about New Vegas which is due this fall. Unlike Fallout 3, New Vegas is being developed by Obsidian Entertainment who recently released the ambitious but ultimately flawed Alpha Protocoll. The game recieved a 6.0 here on Gamespot, which they call fair, but a lot of gamers stay away from everything under an 8, but I digress.

My point is that I don't know if Obsidian has what it takes to follow in Bethesta's footsteps. I know they are using the same tech as Fallout 3, and Bethesda have most likely provided them with tips and guidelines in exchange for their IP, but I can't help wonder if they can live up to its predecessor.
