Reported lead of Obsidian's new Fallout game wants you to feel a "sense of agony" when playing an RPG, rather than being an all-powerful god-splatterer
Josh Sawyer, reportedly leading Obsidian's new Fallout game, aims to create RPG experiences that evoke a "sense of agony" through difficult choices, contrasting with Bethesda's philosophy of player freedom. This difference in design approach, exemplified by Fallout: New Vegas and Bethesda's mainline titles like Fallout 4 and Skyrim, is expected to set their upcoming Fallout entries apart.
