Is Obsidian Entertainment a good studio?

Hey, is it our fault that apparently you suck at drawing conclusions and observing small details that add up to the overall story a lot?

Not really it has just been ages that i played the game. Only thing i still vivedly remember is the incredible lackluster ending and the bugs.
The last time i played it , the game crashed while saving and my save was corrupted. I only had a few chars left and they were completely white.
I just dont understand how people can rate a broken game so high.

I liked KoToR 2 myself, bugs and cut content aside. The biggest plus of the game was that, unlikes the first one which only hinted at it, KoToR 2 basicly came out and said the Jedi are pricks. Which they are.
NWN 2 was, however, crap. I don't care too much for the combat (which is the only thing that can be called gameplay), and the story itself made me feel like vomiting. MotB, on the otherhand, had a good story and some good characters, which carried me through the combat. SoZ, however, didn't have a good story. I stopped playing after I had returned to the jungle continent, so perhaps I missed something that was interesting; but if it took that many yawns to find it, I could care less. SoZ did have some nice addendums to the gameplay, like the overland map. But without a lot of interesting content it didn't carry the game very far.
As it stands, Obsidian is pretty good. But Alpha Protocol, or the Aliens RPG, which ever comes first, is going to drive home whether they're a fountain of renewal, or just another cesspool.

Goddammit, all this talking about Kotor2 made me want to replay it again.

If you want a more challenging experience there's a mod somewhere on this site (http://knightsoftheoldrepublic.filefront.com/) that makes blasters and lightsabers much more deadly (like one hit kills with not armor). It does make it so you pretty much have to cheat on Peragus. If you don't give yourself a shield of some sort there really isn't any way to get past the first droids you encounter.
