~~Oblivion~~ Obsidian is the only other company that can hold expectations currently

Obsidian hasn't made a good game in like 15 years dude. They're a has-been. I doubt they even have any of the same staff.

Obsidian's last open world game, The Outer Worlds, was best described as "whelming"

Thanks for the chuckle, this comment helped brighten my day a little!

It was great, just sadly felt more like a demo of a game they wished they had the funding to flesh out further.

Hopefully 2 is that game.

Lol, pretty sure they meant Obsidian.

The last obsidian game I played, Tyranny, turns to absolute crap halfway through
