Hmmmm...looks like Obsidian is going back to the drawing board to save money because they lost so much after parting with Bioware. Makes sense. Meh...i'll just wait til I get a fully powered PC and re-enter PC gaming to get into these types of RPG's. Too many AAA's coming out along with school.

Thanks anyway, man.

Well after Bethesda screwed them over with New Vegas royalties (they got an 84 meta, their contract said they didn't get any royalties from sales unless they got 85+ so even tho New Vagas was very profitable they didn't get a cent post release) and an undisclosed major publisher (signs point to MS) cancled a major next gen exclusive without warning. That combined with the rise of Kickstarter caused them to consider crowd funding a project that they had wanted to work on for 10 years that no publisher would fund. Obisdian never worked for Bioware, they did make a couple sequels to Bioware games but that was Atari (Neverwinter Nights) and Lucasarts (KOTOR II) and they got screwed on those as well by the publishers.

They are actually are doing well at the moment they have a bunch of projects coming up and South Park did very well for them. Plus they get to make a classic cRPG like they used to back in the day.
