Bethesda own it, therefore what they put into it is Canon. Oblivion are under licence from Bethesda, therefore whatever they put into it is canon, as it has Bethesda's approval. Alien motherships? Like it or not, it is now canon. Outcasts? Canon. Mr House? Canon. etc
I take it you didn't read the previous posts?
It is really frustrating when you have a good discussion going and someone comes in without reading a single post and interjects something...
It doesn't matter who original developers are, they have no rights, Bethesda bought them, they get to say what is canon in the fallout universe. That being said i doubt they would refute anything already published and since Obsidian is making this game under Bethesda they are required to abide by Bethesdas canon. It has already been made clear that Bethesda limited a few things Obsidian wanted to do because they felt it would interfere.
