        well avellone claims obsidian was so poorly managed even if they got the bonus it wouldnt have helped the devs at all, most likely going directly to the obsidian execs pockets (same execs who denied more time on the game)

        je sawyer blames himself for not focusing on playtesting and bug fixing until way way way too late in development

        so im not sure why todd would feel guilty about it at all. obsidian still got paid in full and the fans got a great game out of the ordeal (after they fixed the bugs at launch)

              Oh yeah I’m aware of that. It’s just that foundational game mechanics are still broken to this day lol. Like the game never really reached a polished state, without mods.

                theres still a door to a shack that is like a 50/50 chance to crash your game everytime you enter 😂 and its part of a quest
