Obsidian are great at story but also iffy at game Dev. NV was standard AAA bug fest.
That seems a bit unfair to Obsidian. They were given an engine, they where unfamiliar with and had a very short 18 months of development time, very likely because of their deal with Bethesda.
i mean it explicitly was the deal they made with bethesda, they both agreed to a deadline
the lack of focus on actual bug fixes and the overconfidence with how much content they could realistically finish in those 18 months was still absolutely on obsidian
The other person made a good point but QA before release is important and lots of bugs were dead obvious in all the games.
this was more a result of them biting off more than they can chew than an actual lack of skill
obsidian seemed like it had a hard time letting go of grand plans even when they proved to be unworkable
Still love it, maybe because it feels like they cared about making a good game. I still load up NV on occasion.
I do a play through of all the FO games every couple of years too.
