Speaking to CVG, Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart has said that he would "love" to make an RPG similar to The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.
Following the recent release of South Park: The Stick of Truth, Urquhart was asked about the studio's partnerships with major publishers and their IPs to which he responded:
"I won't even use names, but for us to go off and do our own Skyrim-like game that's going to be on next-gen consoles, I'd love to do that. I'm not saying we're talking to Bethesda about doing a Skyrim-like game or anything like that, but just saying that's something we continue to call up and talk to publishers about
"We have a lot of experience doing that, we love to do it, and if we can get them convinced of an idea, or if they already want to do it, then that would be something that we would choose to do."
He added that the studio was approached to make South Park and Star Wars: The Old Republic and would gladly consider making a game in similar renowned IPs. Speaking specifically about Star Wars and Fallout, Urquhart commented:
"The answer for Fallout is easy because a lot of us here were the guys who worked on the original Fallout. I was the lead designer on Fallout 2, Tim Cain works here and he was one of the core guys who came up with the original Fallout. Me, Tim, and a friend of ours named Chris Taylor were the guys who worked on the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system, which was the RPG system in Fallout.
"When it comes to Star Wars, I was seven and my mom took me to see Star Wars, and I saw Empire when it came out, and I saw Jedi when it came out. I'm in the Star Wars generation, so if anyone gives me any opportunity to make a Star Wars game I'd make a Star Wars game."
Both Urquhart and the studio's designer Chris Avellone have said that they would like another shot at the Fallout franchise, possibly to make New Vegas 2. Avellone also told us last year that Obsidian would develop Knights of the Old Republic 3 if given the chance.
