GB: How many former Black Isle employees are with Obsidian now, and are you able to tell us which ones are now there and what previous RPGs they've worked on? Have you picked up any new members after Troika's closing?

JM: We have several former Black Isle employees here at Obsidian. From our founders down through the ranks, there are several in each department, forming the backbone of what Obsidian has become. Most of them were working on titles like FR6 and Fallout3 when Interplay started its decline into oblivion. And yes we've picked up other employees (and furniture) from the closing of nearby companies. That's one of the great things about this business, there are only a few degrees of separation between everyone, so when a closing happens, we always have old friends and colleagues applying soon after. Which is great, because we love to scoop up the guys we know are talented before they get offers from somewhere else.​
