Is this ass-kissing or is Avellone just a moron?

Could also be interpreted as sarcasm, but Avellone is too much of a cuck to deservedly dunk on someone like that.

Also, gotta wonder if Filoni got the job because he's a good shabbot goy, or because, much like with Kathleen Kennedy, they couldn't find anyone else stupid enough to take the helm of a sinking ship.

Favreau would do it, but he would demand total control and the complete removal of Kennedy's power.
Filoni is a good little doofus who'll work under Kennedy as long as he gets to make retarded, childish stories about his waifus.

Reminder that Avellone is gay.

Siel at the Codex spotted Avellone way in the back at a Weird Wolves meeting. He's back.


Prepare for a Woker West.

bulldozer jaw (troon alert).

Franznick is an uncommon surname of German or Jewish (Ashkenazic) origin.

According to @ChrisAvellone, Obsidian made multiple proposals to develop spin-offs for Fallout and The Elder Scrolls, all of which were turned down by Bethesda.

This is true. One of the Elder Scrolls proposals (which I pitched) was intended to serve the same function as FNV did between F3 and F4, to provide more adventures in the setting during the years before the next Bethesda release.

I thought it couldn't hurt to try and push a similar system to what Treyarch/Activision had going with Call of Duty at the time (but hopefully less rushed).

Bethesda could do a core release, then we'd release a TES title (in same world or a divergent timeline/era) before the next big Beths. push.

Probably less relevant now that Elder Scrolls Online is going, but at the time, it seemed to be something that could benefit both studios.

Not surprisingly, it didn't gain much traction - I never got the impression Beths. was happy with FNV's reception (good and bad).

The existance of Obsidian is a nuisance but hardly something to get assmad about. Wonder if Todd is mad or its Pete. Pete was a bitch at ESF, old Fallout fans made him mad on two occassions. I can't remember Todd ever having an opinion. About anything.

I feel like it's highly unlikely that Todd was mad about/disliked Obsidian but the idea that Bethesda was going to lend their bread and butter IP to an outside studio was pretty insane honestly. New Vegas existing was already a pretty unbelievable scenario in my opinion there's a zero percent chance the Elder Scrolls IP was going to be handed out like that.
With Fallout I think that someone at bethesda (whether that's Todd or someone above him) wanted to keep a pretty firm hold on the franchise and also didn't want there to be a competing product out in between each of their releases. Bethesda game releases (at least used to be) a huge deal. I imagine the excitement and ability to sell something like ESO, Fallout 76 or the continual blue balling with TES VI would be as effective if you were getting a (probably) superior product every other year.
