Dont get me wrong, obsidian has created some of my favorite games. Fallout New Vegas is a masterpiece, but it was a rushed hot mess on launch.
Knights of the old republic 2 is the best example. To be fair its also a masterpiece IMHO.
Never winter 2? I’m struggling to recall, but my impression is that it felt empty compared to 1.
Pillars of eternity set up an amazing world and system, then dialed in the ending with the excuse that the sequel would complete the story. Which it didn’t.
