Less bitching and moaning about fallout 3 and Bethesda.... More people getting out of the mid 90's...
I was offended when Nintendo made Mario 3D from a 2D platformer but you don't see me bitching and moaning about it...
Get the fuck over it....
BTW Lulz at Obsidian.... Shows great promise *cough*
Good for you xD
I just played it at a Games Convenction and skipped it altogether, waiting for them to come to their senses and they did... hurray New Super Mario Bros. Wii
I might still play Galaxy at some point when I'm Ultra-bored.

And I don't know what you're trying to say about Obsidian, but they actually did make great games e.g.: Neverwinter Nights 2 + Add-Ons, KOTOR2 and are working on "Alpha Protocol"...
They also got some of the veterans that worked on some of the best RPGs ever in existence: Fallout 1+2, Planescape: Torment, Icewind Dale 1+2 and they also worked on the Baldur's Gate Trilogy together with Bioware...
Only question for me is if they can use that creativity and make something great or if there's guys from Bethesda looking over their shoulders saying stuff like: "TALK!? Whatdda ya mean TALK? You don't TALK to bad guys you BLOW EM UP! Oh and by the way, there's not enough LIMBS flying around, would you kindly add a few?" and "Are you guys STUPID? Why would you waste 3 weeks of development time making a DUNGEON?!? Just use that Premade Warehouse Layout, put a few enemies in and they won't notice!".
The only thing Bethesda is good at (imo) is creating big worlds using an insane amount of Randomizing Algorithms, creating stiff soulless characters to populate it with and filling it with a few dozen uninspired "Kill those", "Collect that" quests. They always feel like MMOs to me... without the fun parts like doing hard Instances in a group with your friends or talking to people...
Fallout 1+2 (while having low quality pixel graphics) filled the world it had with more life and "personality" in a single area than Fallout 3 has combined xD
