I'd read up on ZeniMax a bit more and check what they own and who owns the company (not just who is on the board of directors (by the way, ZeniMax pushing its board of directors onto BethSoft does not make BS indie)), before making claims of independance.

Huh? None, as far as I know, pretty sure none of the former Fallout devs are there.
