"Someone threw up New Reno as one of the crazy things we did and then we saw Vegas and," shrugged Urquhart, "we just went with it. I'm not in any way instrumental in the creation of the SPECIAL system but I absolutely participated in the creation of it."Īs Bethesda Game Studios had dibs on the East Coast of America, Obsidian took the West. "I didn't leave Black Isle because I wanted to make another Fallout," said Urquhart. Understandably, given the studio's deep roots in Black Isle - the original creator of Fallout - excitement for the project was sky high. But we were actually worried about that, about people thinking of it as just a big expansion." Obsidian considered it to be more like Grand Theft Auto: Vice City or GTA: San Andreas, which were Grand Theft Auto 3 offshoots but full games in their own right. "It was meant to be not the sequel," continued Urquhart.
"It was always intended to be essentially a gigantic expansion," added Obsidian co-owner Chris Parker. "We knew from the start it was not going to be Fallout 4 - that was the internal team's." " was still pitching it internally so it was literally just an idea at the time," said Urquhart. Aliens: Crucible would soon get the chop. Obsidian and Bethesda began talking about Fallout in 2008/2009, when Aliens: Crucible and Alpha Protocol were both still alive. It wasn't like they said no but it was a very strongly worded, 'We would really suggest that you not try to do that.'" Trying to have them all work with ghouls and super mutants was just going to be - felt like it was going to be a nightmare. "It really had to do with how all the weapons and armour worked.
"Originally we had this idea where the player would be able to choose between three races: human, ghoul and super mutant," he said. Did you know Obsidian originally wanted three playable races in Fallout: New Vegas? This is the part literally crossed out - struck through and coloured red - on the Fallout 3.5 treatment Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart showed me at the studio.
