Well then…I guess now we'll see what happens when the bugs of Troika and Obsidian are combined into one!

In all seriousness though, i would have expected Obsidian to hire Cain in a creative role in order to assist in areas they needs more work on, i.e., world design, "immersion elements" as related to atmosphere and tone, how to build a consistent and unique setting, etc. Those are Troika strengths that would really benefit and add to the already solid writing of Obsidian.
Regardless of the role, I'm happy for Cain that he is working with a company that still has passion for the craft…now they just need to plan a rescue mission to save Leonard Boyarsky from the soulless corporate world of Blizzard
