    Pretty sure Obsidian personnel have gone on record saying they don't hold a grudge against Bethesda and would happily work with them on another Fallout again. Gotta do what you gotta do to get those visitation rights

    The sad thing is that's a trout deal that's common in the industry. Development teams have bonuses tied to Metacritic scores all the time. And if they're really lucky, they'll actually get those bonuses once they've earned them.

    Yeah, when it came out that they got boned that way, and people were like "What were you thinking, taking a deal like that?" and some other developers came to their defense stating that it's hard to get away from deals like that from big developers, so either you take the risk, or you don't get the money and may not to get to make the game you want

    Also, it's been a long time so I can't cite a source, but during one discussion, the tone of it made me think that it was more ZeniMax's choice to do that to Obsidian, rather than Bethesda themselves. Corporate Beurocracy

    Mind you, I would love a new Obsidian Fall Out. SO much better then the bethesda fall out titles.
    Those issues were hyped way up by the gaming media, I'm pretty sure rope kid's on record a couple years back saying that there's no bad blood between Obsidian and Bethesda/Zenimax and though they might want to negotiate new terms, they'd be perfectly open to working together again.

    Plus, Pillars of Eternity was a pretty big success and they're already working on Tyranny for Paradox. They're in an inherently stronger position and can negotiate from that position.
