Am I wrong in thinking i heard rumors of Obsidian working on a post apoc themed original ip game? I forget where I read it though.

  You may be confusing this with Bethesda getting the IP for Fallout 3.

    No, i dont think so. I knew Bethesda was working on FO3. I just thought i read something about Obsidian. I'm probably wrong though.

    This must be what i remember. Although it doesnt mention anything apoc style. Just some other game inspired by something. Guess we might know at E3?

      "they expected to have 110-115 staff working on 3 projects by the end of the year.:
      
      They got huge quick.
      
      Sega had a history of great 8 bit rpgs. Maybe it will be inspired by one of them?
