The formula is very simple, just refer to this post by Jarl Frank to get a sense of what i'm talking about. Considering the RPG revival that's been going on these past few years, why have so many developers failed to deliver on their promises ("We are inspired by Fallout hurp-dee-durp") ala Age of Decadence, Wasteland 2 and to a lesser extend the PoE series? Obviously there are UnderRail and Atom RPG and they do a somewhat good job of replicating the formula, but why have there been so many failures? Is the cost of making such a game just that high or talent levels required that super human? I doubt Cain and Boyarsky had that much more money or talent than some of our current-day developers who attempt this stuff.
