Those songs have different audiences that watch them to increase the number of "listen" views. The real measure of "impact" (interest and popularity) is the teaser trailers.

Nothing will top Butcher Pete. In fact that's the only thing about the show I had legit gripes with.

For one, a common theme through the games is the limited music, so you're destined to listen to the same song over and over, because only so many albums survived the blast and centuries after, so not having Butcher Pete, even if you want to save it for later is silly, because again, part of playing the games is listening to the same shit over and over and over until Johnny Guitar makes you want to throw your console out the window

Maybe, but while Big Iron is the superior song, Butcher Pete is still freakin awesome.

Todd Howard doesnt hate New Vegas.

Then why did he reject every single proposal that Obsidian pitched to them after NV?

https://fandomwire.com/obsidian-fallout-elder-scrolls-bethesda/
An X/Twitter thread from early 2022 surfaced on the internet on December 14 that shows the conversation between game designer Chris Avellone, who worked on Fo2 and NV, and an X/Twitter user. The thread was shared by X user Nuclea and shows the user asking Avellone why there isnt a NV2

Avellone had replied that this question kept him awake at night for years and that he had no idea why they were rejected. He added that the company asked repeatedly to make FNV2 and even ES spinoffs just like FNV, but Bethesda said Nope. When the user asked if he was legally allowed to answer this question, he said, I dont even have an answer is the point.

Avellone said that despite multiple efforts, it did not get a nod for the spinoffs. He further mentioned that these spinoffs are less relevant now since ES Online is going on, but at the time, these pitches were something that could have been beneficial for both studios. He also said that he did not get much traction with his pitch, which did not surprise him, but he believes that Bethesda was never happy with FNVs reception, good and bad.

Careful now. Criticizing Todd Howard or Bethesda will automatically get you labeled as a "New Vegas fanboy" (nevermind the fact their questionable decisions affect other franchises such as Elder Scrolls as well)

Likely because they were working on their own entries in the franchise and didn't want another studio touching it while they were working on it themselves?

Also I'm not sure how the corporate breakdown structure of Bethesda and its owner Zenimax works but I can guarantee there's more to the game dev and licensing process than "does todd howard like thing" lol

I don't think Todd hates New Vegas, he just has a very specific way he makes games and doesn't entertain other ideas. His games sell well despite the quality so I guess he doesn't care

May have had a lot to do with the fact that their games are buggy as fuck.

Ah yes, their own entries in The Elder Scrolls franchise, really enjoying playing Elder Scrolls VI right now. Not like Avellone had a point where there could be a game of theirs in between Skyrim and VI.

That tends to happen when you're asked to create an open world game in about a year or so.

Every studio is under crunches, yet Oblivion is notorious for having the most buggy and glitched games.

Alpha Protocol had multiple months of delays, almost a year's worth, and still came out buggy as fuck.

No and no. Bethesda games are all buggy as fuck because theyre using shitty outdated engines and dont do enough QA. New Vegas is always shit on for being the buggiest, but its only slightly below par for the course of a normal Bethsda game.

Like, you cant blame a rushed launch on Fallout 4, to this day, STILL having main story missions that bug out and can soft lock your game.

Theyre just not good at QA, period.
