I just hope this doesn't get raked over the coals by disappointed Fallout fans. It *appears* to have much more in common with Borderlands than Fallout. Obviously we don't have firm details yet, but from how it was described, it's not going to be open world in the Fallout sense. More in the Borderlands sense, eg large sprawling interconnected levels that are open within themselves, but it's not one big open sandbox. More like a bunch of smaller ones joined together. If you played Borderlands, you'll know what I mean.

Can't wait to see more details! I'm on board so far!

Not really. The only Borderlands-ish thing seems to be the lighthearted atmosphere and humor. But the gameplay is pretty obviously HEAVILY inspired by Fallout 3 and New Vegas. I don't think the interconnected levels thing is inspired by Borderlands. I think it's just a coincidence. Obsidian probably had a reason to go that route instead of setting it in a single landmass.


It looks really impressive though. I can't wait.

I've watched some gameplay for this and it looks just like Fallout. They even put a version of their gecko in it from FONV.

I also watched a video a couple of days back uploaded over a year ago where they interviewed one of the guys from Obsidian about FONV and apparently half of their ideas were binned by Bethesda as they thought they would take too long to implement. It also explains why there is a locked gate you can't go through in FONV.

Bethesda also rejected Obsidian's initial wanted location too, stating they wanted it for a later game.

So yes, expect this to be just like Fallout. I would even hedge a guess and say that after Bethesda screwed Obsidian out of their bonus the game started then and has probably been in dev for many years.
