I like this article about Outer Words and developer Obsidian from Forbes.......
"‘Outer Worlds’ Makes Me Want To Give All Bethesda’s Money To Obsidian"
"As you may remember, Obsidian has been bought by Microsoft, and
Outer Worlds is what they’ve made
before the full fruits of that partnership have been revealed. If Microsoft was smart, they would give
Obsidian a truly Bethesda-level budget to make their next game, whether it’s
Outer Worlds 2 or something new, and possibly watch themselves give birth to their own in-house equivalent to
Elder Scrolls or
Fallout. That would be wild. And I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility based on what I’m seeing here."
