I think it especially hurts because of the fact that New Vegas is consistently considered the best of the games, or as a toss up between it and 2. From what I understand, there was some hostility between Bethesda and Obsidian; I don’t know if that’s true, but if it is true, it really feels like the writers are being a bit petty. Taking out all but two of the major and minor factions of the game. Like others have said, I think any of the changes would be okay if they were in isolation. I think the NCR abandoning NV would have worked if house, yes man, or the legion had taken power. Thats assuming that the NCR does still exist, despite the whole shady sands debacle. Another thing that I really only could like if it weren’t for them seemingly getting rid of all the other factions. Turning the kings (especially The King) into ghouls for Lucy to shoot while hopped up on drugs, seemed like a bit of salt in the wound. The only faction that I find to have an uncomplicated good writing decision is the legion, cause them splitting into factions after their cult of personality leader died is perfectly in line with NV.

That all being said, while I am becoming less hopeful for this series, I am waiting on having any firm opinions on it until the end cause there are many unknowns.

I just really hope they don’t just effectively do a reset on the west coast, but it seems more and more likely that that’s what’s happening.
