Top Ten @ Obsidian Updated

Obsidian Entertainment CEO Feargus Urquhart has stopped by the ongoing “Top Ten @ Obsidian” thread in their forums to answer another user-submitted question. This time around, he addresses the possibility of the company developing a future post-apocalyptic or sci-fi RPG:

A number of us have been toying around with the idea of a Post Apocalyptic Fantasy world. There are a number of campaign worlds out there that explore this idea and I think a really cool video/computer game could be made within a world like that. While we couldn’t go with the campy 50’s feel of Fallout (campy as in the Pip Boy look, not campy as in culture references), I think the tension created by having all the different fantasy societies trying to scrape by and rebuild would make for an interesting world to explore. As for a straight SciFi game, I don’t have an real specific ideas about what we might do just yet. I know a lot of people around here love 40K, so I was thinking of talking to THQ at some point about whether they would like to a 40K game that is more RPG than RTS.
