@justin258: How long until Bioware is making sequels to Obsidian games?
I kid.
At the company's present state, I kinda hope they don't? They haven't put out a legitimately great game since Mass Effect 2 - everything else has been "good, but with a caveat" or just plain bad. Meanwhile, Obsidian seems to have hit a stride they've never had.
Also, yes, I do know the joke.

BioWare's been going through a rough patch, and it seems like the company might be in some trouble. Some major titles from big franchises didn't quite perform the way they were supposed to (or really, perform at all). Enter Anthem. Not only is BioWare's upcoming shared-world shooter totally different from anything the developer has made before, but BioWare has everything riding on it. If Anthem delivers and we genuinely hope it does it could breathe new life into the studio. If it fails? Well, let's just say, the results won't be pretty.
It is worth noting that Bioware got their start making a sci-fi mech game. I mean, yeah, it is still very different from Anthem, but not quite as much of a leap from RPG's as you might think. They haven't made an always-online, loot-focused multiplayer coop MMO-lite thing, though. Also I doubt that anybody who worked on Shattered Steel still works for Bioware.
