Chrono should be so lucky. Fallout 1 and 2 are two of the best rpg's ever. 

Obsidian today very different from the Black Isle days. Black Isle FTW, Obsidian can go hide in the biggest hole ever.


Havent played Alpha protocol so I can't comment on that, but KOTOR2 was good and Fallout New Vegas should be awesome as well. If nothing else it would be a very interesting change of pace. I'm all for it. 

KOTOR 2 was half the game it was meant to be. Do yourself a favour and download the Restoration Project if you haven't yet. It pretty much gives you the entire KOTOR 2 experience, with an actual ending. 

I give you that Fallout New Vegas is going to be amazing though, but not because of Obsidian. Jorge Oscuro is one of the lead developers for New Vegas. He's the creator of the best Oblivion mod ever created, OOO. Pretty much transformed Oblivion in one of the best WRPG experiences ever.

KOTOR 2 was rushed to release, so you have to put the blame for incompleteness on the publisher. And OOO is good, but what man can't make a game- he needs Obsidian to truly make it great. I haven't played the Restoration project, Ill have to check it out. 


I'm not arguing that Obsidian can pull off a good game, but KOTOR 2 did have a lot of bugs that weren't just to blame on the rush to release the game. And that also doesn't explain why they pulled out the full functional HK Droid factory planet for no reason. They screwed up massively with KOTOR 2. Yes, the publisher has a lot of blame, but so do Obsidian.

As for Oscuro, of course he can't make the game alone, but he can create the mechanics and implement them in a way that no one in Bethesda, and probably, Obsidian can. Actually, I have a slight hunch that Hardcore mode is due to him.
