I mean hardly, but neither has any of Bethesda’s own games. The New Vegas team did what they could with the broken tools that Bethesda makes, and they managed to craft a fantastic narrative, something Bethesda will never come close to delivering.
Cool but the narrative doesn’t have anything to do with technical expertise like Avellone is claiming. It was way more buggy than Fallout 3. and some of us are old enough to remember that.
A reminder as well that Avellone had very little to do with the parts that people love about F:NV or even the original Fallout games.
Less that they lack the technical expertise to remake it completely, but they lack the technical expertise to remake it cheaply and quickly without the source code. At that point they might as well make a new fallout game.
That’s not the claim of the article though. Avellone is ragebaiting in a desperate attempt to stay relevant. It’s an absurd claim to make in context - especially from a game/narrative designer who has not worked with Bethesda since the original game came out.
Ah yes because F:NV was such a technical masterpiece. What a ragebait statement.
