What's the relationship between Obsidian and Bioware

Recommended Posts

I assume it's the publisher's choice on whether Obsidian gets to host their own forums for the games they've developed. Hence NWN2, New Vegas and Armored Warfare forum links go off-site, but Stick of Truth, Alpha Protocol, Dungeon Siege and KoTOR2 forums are hosted locally. So the reason is "because Bioware asked them to".

They love each other but are not in love with each other

 

It's complicated

 

I have also heard all sorts of rumors about some of their children born out of wedlock, broken promises and failed commitments.

 

Better not talk about it.

Far back at the dawn of time there existed a company called Black Isle. They worked under Interplay. Interplay decided they smelled and so shut them down before going bankrupt. Some Black Islers went to Interplay, some wandered the desert. Bioware worked with Interplay on a couple of titles. The people from Black Isle wandered the wastelands for a while before consolidating as Obsidian. Bioware, remembering the names, have worked with Obsidian on a few titles.

 

Sometimes Bioware work on a product, sometimes they farm it out to Obsidian.

Would In-N-Out Burger parking lot be better?

 

Yes.

 

 

Pretty sure the relationship is really just "Obsidian live in Caliiii, Bioware are Canucks, they get along but a sizeable fraction of the planet's landmass probably means they're not that close."

A long, long time ago, but I can still remember,
How the Trolling used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance",
And maybe we'd be happy for a while.
But then Krackhead left and so did Klown;
Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town.
Bad news on the Front Page,
BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage.
I can't remember if I cried
When I heard that TORN was recently fried,
But sadness touched me deep inside,
The day...Black Isle died.


For tarna, Visc, an' the rest o' the ol' Islanders that fell along the way

Some old timers probably do feel like Bioware is the Canadian girlfriend who's suddenly cut off all contact and won't answer your calls. :ninja:

I don't know the reason why I was redirected to bioware forum when I click the Neverwinter area.Just curious about this kind of situdation,My Name is Gamereasy

Licensing. Neverwinter is not an original IP of either, various companies license various things, development can be outsourced, etc., etc., etc.

 

Also, fun fact: Your username is displayed along with every post you make. I know, it's amazing, right? So we can all see your handle as though we were all magical telepaths!

That's an odd thing to feel about a guy who came out as LGBT in the last decade (not just one, all.)
