I dont accept your premise that these were the only two choices. If Bethesda hadn't acquired the license, somebody else may have. As far as we know, Interplay hadn't been trying to sell it off for very long. A European developer more prone to making niche-ish games may have snatched it up, like Pirhanna Bytes or Nival. It's hard to say what would have happened. Maybe Troika wouldn't have gotten funding for another game someday. It's public knowledge that they wanted to do another game. Maybe Obsidian wouldn't have gotten it someday. We'll never know.
