    That sounds a bit strange, the source code for nearly every script that handles quests, mechanics and such is bundled with the game and what modders have been using since release.

    Unless I’m misunderstanding something, I don’t see why a remaster like Oblivion’s would be impossible. It runs on top of the original game anyways.

        Well they need to make better Fallout games, then. Start with firing Emil Pagliarulo. That man should never be allowed into the writer’s room ever again.

          what make better game ? are you crasy ? We saw how they treated the reception of starfield like fan being in the wrong and not an issue on their end so no hope on that subject

          Bethesda’s never had a good writer since Morrowind. the best story tellers in Bethesda were the people who designed the obscure side locations with environmental storytelling, and I guess Bethesda took that as a slight against its reputation and replaced handmade locations with reusable slop in starfield. it’s like they are trying to get worse with every game.

        That’s literally not true. It’s false information spread by fanboy dickriders like you

        I don’t mean to sound like an asshole, but this whole “NV was the best game ever made” is getting REALLY old, especially now 16 years after the game released.

The overall population said that nv is better than 3 and 4

            Metacritic says 3 and 4 were both better reviewed than NV. Took me like ten seconds to look it up.

              3 and 4 also sold way more than new vegas

              in fact, new vegas being a masterpiece wasnt even discussed until like 2017. before that, opinions were varied

                I actually talked to all of the players, and they all agreed with the reviewers. They said NV is actually a little overrated. 🤷

      That’s a solid point. Assuming their bespoke Unreal Engine/Gamebryo hybrid engine can run the scripts, there’s no reason it couldn’t be “remastered” in the same way.

          The script source code is packaged with the game though. You can see the entire game’s implementation through the GECK and XEdit pretty much.

            To push a release for a game you need to package it. It’s one thing to have no more ci/cd, you could technically build, package, and deploy on a workstation. But without source you can’t even do that because the build system is part of the source code. A game is a few hundred gigs of pure data and it needs to be packed to make it playable.
