If all these things are so important to you, how could you like that turd of DA:I?
Dragon Age isn't Pillars of Eternity and vice versa. Different expectations.

What's so significantly different?
Per-encounter spells for wizards, priests, and druids, and the removal of health. That was the final straw, I was already unhappy with five characters instead of six, and the replacement of good writers with mediocre/lousy ones.
Sure those are valid annoyances, but I was more interested in how that affects your playstyle ? (unless that bit was just a quip)
Obsidian haven't made a shit game. That will upset many people here, but it is the truth.
While it is true Obsidian have made their share of bad games, it is going too far to suggest that they have never made a great game: NV > FO 1&2. PoE is also one of the better RTwP cRPGs.that's some deludedshit right there. NWN2? Dungeon Siege? I would argue they never really made a great game either, and even Avellone agrees with that. Very overrated company. I've always seen them as a very poor's man Troika/Black Isle.

Furthermore, all of Troika's game have massive problems so describing Obsidian as a very poor man's Troika is absurd.
Anyone who with a straight face votes for Pillars of Eternity as their worst game, is an edgehard faglord. White March is almost as good as BG2.
Is there a reason Sawyer or Fergus never talk about Mask of the Betrayer?
That is the single best RPG this company has ever done....

It also features a wickedly overrated trial scene. No idea why anybody likes that part.
Extremely overrated crap. And a perfect example of the kind of fake choice story-fags like.
But to Obsidian's defense at least they did a sequel worthy of the NWN1 OC because it's hard to tell which one is worse.
