<br>Many may know Obsidian for its work on Fallout New Vegas, Knights of the Old Republic 2 , and The Outer Worlds , but its history goes much deeper than that. Obsidian's strength also falls in the same area as Bethesda, but the relationship between the two eventually went south. This has turned into a rivalry of sorts if only in the eyes of fans, as many see The Outer Worlds as a response to Bethesda's Fallout , and now it seems Avowed strategy is just that to The Elder Scrolls 6 . Of course, this begs the question: when Obsidian and Bethesda go head to head, who wins?
