Fallout: New Vegas served as a reference for the new game from the co-creator of Dishonored, because he's pushing for a more "freeform" RPG structure.
Earlier this month, Arkane Studios co-founder Raphael Colantonio unveiled his new game, described as a first-person immersive sim/RPG hybrid that's like Fallout meets Dishonored. Colantonio no longer works at Arkane, and this new project is being made at his new outfit, WolfEye Studios, but it certainly borrows from what its director describes as "Arkane DNA." That DNA means that this game - "the type of action, the type of mobility, and world design, level design" - is very much what "you would expect" from the people behind Dishonored. But it's also blended with an increasing push towards RPG ideas, and that's where one of its key references comes in.
