Before you ready your torches and pitchforks hear me out first,
I think alot of people are forgetting that alot of time has passed between Fallout New Vegas and now.
10 years to be exact.
What does that mean for a studio? Everything.
Chris Avellone who was the lead writer for Falout New Vegas's story left the company after NV. He is one of the best story writers in video games to date.
He'll also likely never write anything for a game again following his canceling last year.
Especially not for a company like Obsidian who in recent years became very woke (dare I remind you of The Outer Worlds and team pictures from their dev studio?)
The Outer Worlds was a mixed bag. While in general there's many positive responses there's also plenty of negative ones. "Too woke" "boring quests, boring world, etc"
With New Vegas the picture is something different. The general opinion if this game is very positive. There's only a few who really didn't like New Vegas, or atleast think it isn't the best Fallout ever but still a good game.
In all those years Bethesda Game Studios, for example, never really changed. TODD is still the executive producer and studio head, Hines is still their marketing guy and most of the people who worked on Oblivion and even Morrowind are still there, right now, working on Starfield and TES Vl. Even their lead story writer hasn't changed in yeeeeeears (which you can count as a good or bad thing, ill leave that up to you).
Long story short: I think a modern New Vegas title or Fallout in general, made by Obsidian, would probably dissapoint more people that are actually aware of it. It probably would be a mixed bag like The Outer Worlds.....at best.
Also do you really wanna live in a Woke Fallout world?
The question stands, if Bethesda would say they'd lend the fallout IP to someone else, would they take Obsidian? Probably not.
