Magic & Loss
There's generally a lot of spite on these boards about Bioware's direction and I'll be the first to admit to being part of that.
But, beyond all the drama, you have to ask yourself, "What would have happened to Obsidian if not for Bioware's early support w/ NWN2 and, notably, KotoR II?" Could they have become another ill-fated Troika, desperately pitching projects to publishers in a downward spiral of fiscal doom?
I was looking at a Penny arcade interview of Brian Menze and was reminded that KotoR II was their first project, given to them, for all intents and purposes, by Bioware. It really got me to thinking.
So, thank you Bioware. Thank you for Baldur's Gate and Black Isle 2.0.
