Obsidian didn’t quite meet the timetables for the holiday release either, resulting in the game being technically unfinished, with huge swaths of cutscenes and areas already in the game being dumbed out due to a lack of transition scenes for them, among other reasons. Those ties resulted in Bioware suggesting Obsidian handle the sequel, partly out of respect and partly because they saw LucasArts’ contracted time-frame and decide they would not be involved in that work nightmare. From there, Black Isle did a few things you may or may not have heard of ( Planescape: Torment is on more best games ever list than should be humanly possible), but eventually Interplay hit hard times and dissolved the studio, leading to Obsidian to be born independently in the aftermath. Before Obsidian became what it is, there was Black Isle Studios, who found their start in gaming closely alongside Bioware in the exact same series – Baldur’s Gate. Obsidian and Bioware will forever be two studios intertwined and compared.
