I understand why they declined, after all Obsidian did make the main entries feel like subpar games when compared with New Vegas.
New Vegas showed just how little effort Bethesda put into their games by being a fully-crafted, proper RPG world in stead of the "Stuff on a map with level scaling that we pretend is any better than procedurally-generated world" approach used by Bethesda.
Honestly, though, it is hard to fully endorse Obsidian, as their total shitshow level of organization leads to things being rushed and buggy as fuck, where Bethesda's stuff is a little less buggy. Fallout 3 and New Vegas both had issues on PS3, but F3 never hard-locked or totally crashed my system. New Vegas had a few incidents of making me think it may have killed my PS3.
Come to think of it, how did either of those pass certification?

Well, for one example, in New Vegas, go to the casino in Primm, and you can find a spot that allows you to walk out of the world geometry. It’s 100% reproducible, and you can find it in the building where Bonnie and Clyde’s car is.
You walk to the right spot, turn to just the right angle and walk forward, and you are in a featureless black void. You can get back into the world if you manage to wander back out through the seam, but it’s a lot trickier than just reloading a save.
In Fallout 3, the worst similar incident happened as I was going to start the quest “You Gotta Shoot ‘Em in the Head”. As I was walking northward in the northeast section of the map, I fell through a boulder. By jumping repeatedly and pressing forward, I got out of the boulder. As a bonus, I got the completion notifications and trophies for not just the quest I was on, but five others.
