Obsidian has a long trend of not finishing their games, sometimes it really is the publishers screwing them over, other times it’s simply their own in-ability to manage their own projects.
But they always tend to throw a pity party for themselves and how they totally got screwed over by the big bad publisher, and then act all confused why many publishers don’t want anything to do with them.
What carried their games was usually the writing, but in my opinion the quality of that has gone way down, especially since Avellone left.
Overall it feels like they keep trying to write about big ideas and philosophies, but their current crop of writers don’t have a deep understanding or bother with the details, and the stories come of weaker as a result.
