"Those folks came to Bethesda and said, 'We're gonna have a fun lawsuit'": Fallout New Vegas devs "got in trouble" after forgetting about trademarks for some material, says Obsidian veteran

Fallout New Vegas.

Fallout: New Vegas developer Obsidian Entertainment ran into a spot of legal trouble over some real-world material folded into the parody-heavy RPG, according to studio and RPG veteran Chris Avellone.

Speaking with YouTuber TKs-Mantis, Avellone recalls butting heads with Bethesda over trademarked material which Obsidian evidently didn't fully account for at the time. This particular discussion begins with a mention of Wild Wasteland, a trait that introduces a range of content and encounters that generally reference other media, from films to older Fallout games.
