thats pretty awesome news, but on the other side, this is a hit for fallout, the studio that made the better fallout game is falling apart...

Yeah, it's bit worrying, sure they had success with Pillars, but it seems they are struggling if they need to make those F2P MMOs - then again, if that brings in money so they can focus on RPGs, all the better.

On the bright side, there are still lot of famous RPG designers in Obsidian, they have licensed Pathfinder, so that could be huge for cRPG fans. I find it a bit strange that Chris left when they have such an important license in their hands, but I'm guessing it's not too surprising, given that he was already working outside of Obsidian on Wasteland 2 and Numenera.

i dont think pathfinder is such a great IP, and they didnt get fallout 4 1/2. so i guess he was bored.

he wasnt heavly invested in pillars(you know if you  played it, its a good game but in no way his game).

 

they should have made fallout 4(i bet the game will be as shitty as fallout 3 and not as grand as fallout new vegas), it would have been so great, with perfect humor and not stupid plotlines.
