Obsidian isnt an AAA dev.
Bioware is... tho they kidn of got demoted.

Thats why Bioware is the sick man of RPGs, they go tthe funding but cant do anything with it.
Obsidian meanwhile, lives in this weird space where theyre the poor mans Owlcat.
they still have their diehard fans but theyre all Infinity Engine enthusiasts and RPG Codex power users.
But ultimatley, Owlcat beats them at their own game which is aping the infinity engine games.

Whats also interrestign about Obsidians company history is that all they ever do is ride on others coattails.
like everything Obsidian is famous for, is actually iterating upon someone elses game.
>black isle
ages ago.
Obsidian since then is most famous for Fallout new Vegas, which is very much the new Fallout Gameplay rather than the old one.
But also NWN2 which, at least with MOTB, i actually enjoyed, they didnt make the original NWN.
And when they try to make their own thing....
its always kind of hollow.
