New Vegas is notable for not being a Bethesda game per se. It uses something very close to the Fallout 3 engine, but the actual content has little to do with Bethesda. They did publish it, though.
Oh I'm well aware lol. The game is a godamn miracle. But thats the thing, Bethesda has been on this trajectory for a good lonnnnnng while. Like the whole "obsidian good bethesda bad" thing isn't quite right, but what is true is Bethesda has been incredibly strategic about shittifying their games: there's always just enough there to keep you going "ok... one more".
Starfield is the first one I just didn't even bother with.
