Difficult.

As an all round package, PoE.

For content and reactivity, New Vegas.

For story and characters, KOTOR 2.

For originality, MotB.

With a gun to my head, I'd pick New Vegas as their best, followed by KOTOR 2, PoE, MotB in that order. Alpha Protocol, Dungeon Siege 3 and South Park all have great moments but are far from Obsidian's best.

Definitely Pillars.

If just judging the campaigns for story stuff then MotB would win but all around package is definitely PoE.

Your ignore list.
Electing the best game from a list usually requires having a good game as a reference point.

-1 > -1 is a false condition.

Poll sucks.

I'd vote MotB and SoZ if these were separate, but including them both (unnamed) under NWN2 is just... just no.

Of the ones I've played, TSL continues to be my favorite thus far.

No, fuck off. Either MOTB gets its own option or I ain't voting in your stupid poll.

PS: SoZ was sozzy.

TSL would win, if we considered the community patches/fixes/restorations, but we're voting the best Obsidian game here, and TSL was some unfinished shit when released, and remained such even after the official patches/updates (yeah yeah yeah blame Lucasarts and deadlines and whatever: the game was still shit until the community fixed it over a period of years).

Therefore, out of the remaining games, my favourite remains FNV: it pretty much surpasses every other option under most aspects of a game.

New Vegas for me.
Hookers, gore, meaningful faction choices, open game world, combat XP, distinct ways to build a character. Good shit.
