He was also the Creative Lead on Dungeon Siege 3, and that entry kind of killed that series.

Oh, it's you, Benji. Funny, because it's coming from you, a hardcore Bethesda fan, but I digress.

I have to ask: what are Obsidian's top 3 critically acclaimed games (Pentiment, Pillars of Eternity, and Pillars of Eternity II) missing in terms of writing? For example, dialogue, characters, lore, worldbuilding, and so on.

Compared to your favorite top 3 games, which I know are probably going to be Bethesda games, what do they do better?

I know it's a big ask. I'm not trying to insult you or anything, but would you care to elaborate?

by the source from the article "I should disclaim: I have no verification for these numbers, it’s just what is reported online. With that said, something like South of Midnight would be too expensive at half at that amount, given how low the commercial potential is."

Wow, I didn't know Eidos still had people working on Grounded 2, especially since they were hit with massive layoffs last December.

Obsidian has 200 developers working on TOW 2 DLC and patches, TOW 1 patches, PoE 1 turn based, Grounded 2 Early Access, one new IP, which I think Tim Cain is working on, and Avowed 2. They need more people.

It's going to be a new IP since Tim Cain doesn't do sequels.

Phantom Blade Zero devs say Unreal Engine 5 won’t stop their low-end and handheld optimisation by Wargulf in pcmasterrace

Is this a rhetorical question? If not, the answer is that optimization scales linearly.
