It's no secret that I'm a huge Obsidian fan. I've been following them since they were Black Isle, and this particular group of developers have made some of the most memorable gaming experiences I've had. Sure, their games are shackled with bugs resulting from rushed release windows, a lack of publisher support, and crippled after-launch support. Kickstarter is their first outing without the problems of having a publisher on their back.
They can work at their own pace, without a publisher rushing them. They aren't attached to the opinions of a marketing exec. Best of all, they actually have the time to finish and test their game, and keep supporting their game just as Josh Sawyer has continued to support New Vegas (with or without publisher approval). Tim Cain is back on board, and they're making a concerted effort to bring fans what they want. Throw some dollars their way to make sure old-school RPGs have a place in the future.
