Dude, that is an awesome write-up. As an old-school Baldur's Gate fan, I always had a general idea of the whole Interplay/Black Isle/Bioware shebang, but not nearly that in-depth.

That was a fun read, so thanks. I also had virtually no idea that relationship pretty much birthed Obsidian. It's no wonder they hit on so much of their stuff, being most of the original gang and all.

It's also why Bioware allowed Obsidian to work on KotOR2 - Bioware knew Obsidian back when they were Black Isle, and really only got the chance to DO KotOR at all because Baldur's Gate was a success (and Baldur's Gate only got published because Interplay/Black Isle published it).

There's actually an easter egg in BG2 where you meet a character named Feargus, which is a reference to Feargus Urquhart (ie, the official founder of both Black Isle and Obsidian).
