Fallout 4: New Vegas - remake in FO4 engine

[ADL]

So there was no drama.

If that's the case, they should pick a canonical ending and change the map up a bit. Why would Nipton still have heads on sticks and shit seven years later? That being said I do like the general concept as it'll be a better fit for my Horizon overhaul playthrough.

It will never happen if they have to recreate the voice assets.

why can't they just reuse the original voices of NV? Not redistributing them of course, but installing the mod you'd point to your totally legit install of NV and the mod would use that?

They can, regardless of what Bethesda says.
Creating a tool that would take assets from a FNV install and repackage them in a format for FO4 would be perfectly legal, as nothing that is copyrighted is being distributed.

Juice Head titles and 75% of his content are click bait, but for thoese of us who don`t want to take the time to download and install the mod, he`s got a pretty good overview + Video of everything it has to offer.

Eh... First, "legal" and "EULA compliant" are very different things, and an amateur modding crew ain't gonna take the matter to court. Second, Bethesda has been very laissez faire about modding, as they should be, but if they were to start getting hassled by the VA union, for instance, it's not inconceivable they might slam the breaks on things - they wouldn't even have to fight the legality of a repackaging tool, they could just nix the game port altogether on general copyright. I don't expect they would in either case, I imagine they only said no when asked because they were contractually obligated to, but there is a risk.

There's no EULA violation.
It's just taking files -- you legally own -- from one place on your computer, and putting them in another place in a specific format.

It's not even a hypothetical, it's how Tale of Two Wastelands already works: https://taleoftwowastelands.com/faq#TTWInstaller

Because Bethesda's happy not giving a formal shit, not because you can do whatever you want "regardless of what Bethesda says." If they got their panties in a twist, they could just skip over any repackaging tools and shut down the main F4NV mod at their discretion. I doubt they would, but they have that ability.

I don`t know enough about the Besthesda mod scene, can they cease and desist this?

Random Cease and Desist after years of work is generally a good sign for other projects of when remakes were about to be announced.

I know for a fact they are recording their own voice acting because they weren't allowed to use the original one - seems to me that implies they received no objection to anything else.
