I hope to never see an Obsidian game based on another company's IP ever again. Such a waste of talent.

Nah. Even if they launch more crowd-funded projects, rejecting contract work would be a silly business decision. And there's plenty of room to shine with outside IP.

No I get it, what I'm saying is they get to that point where their own internally created IP's can carry their business for them.

I feel awful for asking this but are there going to be romances and banter in PoE? This has probably been asked before. It's not like I get my jollies on game romances but I did like telling Aerie to eat rocks in BG2 and Viconia making fun of her getting her wings chopped off.

Unconfirmed as of yet, perhaps rope kid will chime in about it later. They did say something about not necessarily wanting to explore romances, but different types of 'relationships' (like Friendship, Social?, Racial? stuff like that)

I think as long as some kind of banter is involved it'll be worth it, because having static no-personality NPC's is boring. BG2 had tons of personality in that regard. I just want to be an rear end in a top hat to everyone and evil NPC's backing my evil rear end.

A videogame romance tends to be a thing where you carry a printer five miles for a girl and then she has sex with you. They're kinda weird.

She didn't have sex with him though.
