I agree that they want to make a good game over at BioWare. But I think they are misguided in their views of what makes a "good, modern RPG". BioWare's current view seems to be to make it cinematic as fuck with very simple gameplay (but sometimes fun! Andromeda's combat was good) loops and then bloat the hell out of them with pointless bullshit. Which is what Inquisition and Andromeda are. Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle, all embedded in cinematography.lol maybe.
I don't think this game doing well will do much regarding Bioware as I don't think their goal was to make a bad game or something. So I never get the whole "wake the team up" or "take notice" etc, I don't fucking think Bioware is just NOT WANTING to make a good game, in their minds they think they have a good game, it wasn't that good.
The end. lol
I think its really as simple as that.
Obsidian is really hit or miss, I can't say sucks as they are still better then most tbh, but they still have their own issues, but still a cut above most development teams regarding RPGs. As in, I don't most of us will have an issue with Pillar's Of Eternity 3 or something, that sounds like a day 1 for lots of RPG fans. So lots of hit or miss sure, I don't know if I can say they suck lol
We have teams launching games with zero AI lol
I also agree with your assessment of Obsidian. Hit and miss. But I think their misses were mostly due to budgetary issues. So let's see how they'll do with Microsoft money.
