Considering that this was also overarching message of the first game verbatim, I don't see as how it could have come as a susprise to anybody. They weren't exactly subtle about it.

Community for CRPG games and other RPG gaming discussions. Witcher, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Baldurs Gate as well as indie RPGs (Underrail, Avernum, Space Wreck etc.). Focus is on CRPGs, but discussion around JPRGs, ARPGs and hybrid games with RPG components is also welcome.
Tabletop/pen & paper RPG discussion is not a good fit for this community. Check out !rpg@ttrpg.network for TT/P&P RPG discussions.
Memes are not banned, but the overwhelming focus is on discussions, releases and articles. Try and post memes (on an occasional basis) that would make people who don't like memes admit "OK! That was a good one!".

If both Bethesda and obsidian are owned by microsoft..
Does that mean they technically could hand obsidian the ip for fallout?
Technically yes, but realistically this won't happen. Obsidian leadership recently stated that their focus is on internal franchises (to the studio). It's unlikely they would make such a statement without approval from Microsoft.
When people say preachy, they just mean "it has a message and is poorly written". LOTR is fucking preachy from cover to cover but no one complains because it's a goddamn masterpiece.
Or they mean woke, but those people are pieces of shit anyways
Your comment made me think about how preachers are supposed to really be effective religious orators, and now I'm wondering how it got to "has a message and is poorly written and/or heavy-handed about it." Because a lot of religious orators failed at the effective part, and things were poorly-written and inappropriately heavy-handed? Because the effective ones wielding influence were heavy-handed (but did it well) in their speeches? Were the effective ones great speakers but when you transcribe down the speech it doesn't read as well? Fun tangent to think about.
Who cares
