The Obsidian that gave us Kotor 2, New Vegas and Alpha Protocol, no longer exists. These people are Obsidian in name only and The Outer Worlds is one of the most overrated RPGs of all time, I hate that game with a passion.
You should pay a visit to the Avowed subreddit. It's a literal echo chamber, where no-one even bothers to acknowledge the awful looking portions of the latest trailer. I mean, yes, it looks good. But it's far from looking great. And if I said so myself once, I'll say it a hundred more times. The Obsidian that gave people the joys that were, New Vegas, Alpha Protocol & Kotor are no more.
The Obsidian that was there during their early post Interplay days isn't the Obsidian we have now, that ship has sailed a long, long time ago, prior to the acquisition by Microsoft. Most of the originals, besides a handful (like Sawyer), who spearheaded the founding of Obsidian are already gone. But even Sawyer is beginning to show his age. I am cautiously optimistic about Avowed, but the original vision and scope seems to have changed midway through development. I'll be keeping an eye on it, but I no longer view it as my most anticipated Xbox game. That key art is awesome though, so I'll give them props for that. Whoever drew that, needs a raise!!!
