Apparently, the development for this DLC was a big mess, probably accounts for the delay.

I really hope so. Apparently, the 1st DLC team (led by one of the writers Kate?) took the DLC off the rails for months, and they had to restructure it and clean up the mess once they realized the problem.
To make matters worse, word from the studio was that Obsidian lied to Private Division about Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky being involved in the DLC (they weren't), and it took their actual involvement to fix it - but "fixing" means the DLCs more like the core game, and that means your mileage may vary since I know some really loved it, and some thought it was "meh". Obsidian apparently has a bad rep of assigning devs to projects without really putting those devs on it, then charging the publisher for the "devs" involvement - they did this with Paradox, Bethesda, and Private Division, it's probably one of the reasons they don't tend to work with publishers more than once, but there might be other reasons for that and with MS, they certainly don't need that anymore.
Peter Principle Patel really feeds into my preconceived notions of her abilities.
is this true tho? a bit too same old story :/ and why she'd be proud of co-directing it if she actually lead it astray?
either case she and whoever else involved is incompetent af, only in this biz to push their agenda(her own fucking admission)
