Failing Up

September 18, 2012 17:36:29.125

What happens at BioWare after you completely screw up the ending of Mass Effect? Why, you get put in charge of developing a whole new game universe, that's what:

Both Dragon Age and Mass Effect started as single games but grew into vast universes. But we aren't stopping there. While Casey continues to oversee the development of our new Mass Effect project, he and his leads are putting together their vision for an all new game set in a fictional universe, built from the bottom-up with all new gaming technology.

Add in the idiotic EA theory that every game needs multi-player, and you've got all the components you need for a complete, utter, and total failure.

Well, at least there's

to look forward to.

Say what you will about the bugginess of their games, but at least in my mind Obsidian has a stellar trackrecord when it comes to good/interesting storytelling.

KotOR II, Mask of the Betrayer, Alpha Protocol, Fallout: New Vegas...

Just looking at that list makes me shiver from good memories :)
