CE3 is already done and they've been using it on ES6 for a few years now. Starfield was 2 and FO4 was CE1. I doubt they'd hinder the game by going that far back. The Todd said the new one is really speeding up the process, and we know Asha Sharma wants this stuff as fast as possible. Now, Todd might want to keep it close to the vest, and not give Obsidian the newest toys, but it might not be up to him. And I really hope it isnt. But the furthest back I could see it going is 2. which looks amazing in still frames but soulless in movement, and once again, awful at face movement.
So at worst it would be 2 but I really think it may be CE3. Microsoft wants the money and it'd be harder for a lot of people to justify buying a new game with a 4+ year old engine let alone 15+ years.
Sorry, I hadn't heard anything about CE3 being done. I knew CE1 was Skyrim, I didn't realize that FO4 was still considered to be on CE1, it was a pretty big step up, I'm surprised. So CE2 is Starfield, my thought process still stands, which is: I wouldn't be surprised if they used Starfield as the basis for the Obsidian project, in much the same way as they used FO3 for FONV.
Anyway, it's not important whether they use CE3 or however it washes out, I'm just actually excited by Obsidian doing a new Fallout. Todd can suck it.
Hey no worries on not being caught up on everything, I just have no social life anymore. Like I said, you might be right on CE2 just from Todd being petty. And yeah I agree on being amped for the obsidian game. One of the devs said you should be hurting inside from some of the choices they want you make.
