Meanwhile my lonely ass been sitting over here absolutely loathing Fallout: New Vegas since its release. I did not like that game. I probably would today if I got over myself and tried playing it again.

Maybe, there are a lot of shames in life, and it would have been great to see what they could have done with more dev time. But Bethesda said "we will let you do it if you can get it done in 18 months" and Obsidian said "hell yeah!".
And given that situation, I am actually glad they spent the effort on the writing and player agency over bug fixing. A "better managed" development might well have been far less ambitious.
Now Troika games not winning the bidding war for the Fallout license, that's a damn shame.
if troika won the bidding war fallout would be an obscure hidden gem from the late 90s and thats it
There is definitely a good chance of that. Bethesda was heating up at the time and definitely catapulted the series to international success and fame.
But, and this is just the rambling of an old man, I'm not too concerned about a games popularity. Fallout 1 and 2 are a couple of my favorite games of all time, and basically everything Troika put out are absolute gems. VTM Bloodlines is still a game I go back and play every couple of years or so.
So yeah, there was a good chance Troika would have still gone under, and Fallout would have languished in obscurity, but I'm pretty sure one of what would have been my favorite games of all time vanished into nothingness when Troika lost that bidding war.
Still, I can cry myself to sleep on one my other favorite games, New Vegas.
i like fallout being super popular because then we get cool shit like the tv show and the vault tec pants im currently wearing
That's fair, bet they are nice ass pants.
