🤨 Chris Avellone says IDK if Bethesda has the engineering muscle to remaster Fallout: New Vegas the way Oblivion was redone.

In his interview he explained the studio likely never got the source from Obsidian, the final contractual step was handing over all sources for $10k, but CEO Fergus Urqhart allegedly refused the check. Without the code it's extremely hard to rebuild the game; theoretically Bethesda could overlay Unreal Engine visuals on top of the original Creation engine like with Oblivion, but Avellone suggests testing that approach on Fallout 3 first. Microsoft's consolidation of studios doesn't guarantee cooperation.
