PoE was pretty bad too much fan services it didn't know what it wanted to be an interactive gamebook, DnD or fallout set in fantasy world, PoE2 was an immense improvement and actually was decent game.
Obsidian is just like Bioware the only thing that remains there is just their name all those talented people who made those companies so famous and well known are long time gone.
They have Sawyer, Cain, and Boyarsky still. I think Sawyer, when given the proper freedoms, can design things very well. Idk what the hell was up with Outer Worlds besides that it was a Private Division game and Cain talks about a lot of weird shape based design instead of displaying numbers.
