    David Gaider being a cool dude to hang around with, exchange ideas, and toss back brews is not connected at all with whether you (or I) think his games are the best in the world. I've never met David Gaider, but from everything I have read and heard, including from people who know him, and have told me in private, he is one cool cat. He is, by all accounts, very generous and nice to everyone, but still funny and fun.

    That said, I reserve the right to be critical, and I have been, if I feel like his work is not as good as it can be.

    No, I think he just had discussions with them about selling Wasteland 1. They got the Trademark from Konami who originally wanted to use it for Yu-Gi-Oh!

    I just don't get the fucking whining about buggy games. All games have bugs. Obsidian's don't have any more than others. If you look at companies like The Creative Assembly, who do the Total War games, they are often unplayable when first released yet every time their name comes up it isn't "HURR BUGS HURR".

    People are counting their unfinished or unoptimized games as 'buggy'

    Exactly, KOTOR 2 and AP were unfinished but I can't remember any real bugs in either. No broken quests (but there's plenty to find in Bethesda's games, for example), no CTD/freezes as far as I can recall. NWN2 was hideously unoptimised when it was released, and the camera was a mess, but bugs? Can't think of any. People often bring up graphical glitches as examples of bugs, when in fact these often depend on the drivers of the video card.

    Fallout: New Vegas and Dungeon Siege 3 are very well optimised yet NV still gets grief about bugs (what bugs? Why don't people SAY WHAT THEY ARE when they completely trash Obsidian?).

    Anyway, fan boy mode over, glad I got it all off my chest.

    Yeah, but as I mentioned before I'm pretty sure Fargo just wasn't aware of the things that went wrong back then internally and with for example the marketing department (Clearly some people were unhappy).

    A small studio like he has now focusing on Kickstarter projects seems more to his talents.

    For the trademark, but not the property. To be able to use the setting he had to talk with EA, though it wasn't hard.

    Just watch this page instead: http://nma-fallout.com/article.php?id=61338 Constantly updating.

    Also, Scorpitron concept art incoming. Curious to see it.
