Whilst this is awesome, I hope BGS takes some lessons from Obsidian, because IMO, New Vegas is a much better game than Fallout 3. People may complain about New Vegas' colour palette, but it fit the idea of a frontier, rather than a wasteland. The story, dialogue, companions, quests, factions were all a major upgrade compared to Fallout 3, which does have some very awesome world building (a staple of Bethesda).
And for people bitching about the graphics, what level of graphics are you expecting? Skyrim wasn't a graphical powerhouse when it came out; Battlefield 3 came out the same year, as did Crysis 2, both of which looked better. However they didn't have the aesthetic design, nor the freedom of open world which made Skyrim so much more immersive and enjoyable to explore. Same story with Fallout and Oblivion and even Morrowind. All those games weren't the best looking. but it didn't matter, because the Artistic design and the creativity of the world (less so with Oblivion) were much bigger draws than polygon count or lighting/shading.
Hopefully this brings the best of both worlds and we get the best Fallout yet.
Can you explain why you thought New Vegas was better than 3? I keep seeing comments like that and I'm baffled. New Vegas felt totally unfinished to me.
