I changed Chris Parker so that it doesn't now link to the article on the British actor Christopher Parker. I think it's reasonable to assume that they're not the same person. If anyone knows otherwise, feel free to undo the change.
I found out that Sega has purchased Obsidian Entertainment and thought it would be important to add this, as they are now working on a MMORPG for Sega, while Neverwinter Nights 2 is still in development.

Sega and Obsidian just collaboratively develop an original role playing game... I think that Obsidian is a developer and Sega is a publisher. Obsidian is still a independent developer.
According to Feargus Urquhart, an RPG Obsidian is developing with Sega is called Project Georgia and single player, not MMORPG.
I work QA in Obsidian, and we've got more than 33 people just in here. I know Wiki looks down on self-editing, if I got an updated staff number would it be okay to put it in myself? Not like you can POV or opinionate a number...
NX1 is not a name of US state but an acronym of Nwn2 eXpansion pack 1. NX1 looks like Project Massachusetts.
Neither company has announced that KOTOR will be continued, except for a article with a list of games in which Lucas mentions they PLAN to continue it. I plan on taking over the world. I took out that part of the article.
Has anybody noticed that both games that Obsidian has published to data have been extremely buggy and had unreasonably high HW requirements? The article makes it seem as though the company were formed by skilled veterans and people of "Icewind Dale fame", but the quality of their output is disputable, to say the least. Shouldn't there be a Criticism section or at least some toning down of the universal praise in the article?

So how come Obsidian and Bioware seem to be so close? It looks like Bioware likes to toss its licenses to them for no reason. EX: KOTOR and Neverwinter Nights -- 76.174.34.216 ( talk) 10:53, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
The link at the bottom of the page to the "Electron Engine" simply returns to this page... which has absolutely nothing about the electron engine on it. I have no idea what it is. 69.97.242.211 ( talk) 07:54, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
Electron Engine is Obsidian's update to Bioware's Aurora Engine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.198.174.122 ( talk) 09:28, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
Obsidian isn't developing Wasteland 2. InXile Entertainment is. Some members of Obsidian, such as Chris Avellone, give a hand to them sometimes, but it's not Obsidian developping it. Hence I deleted Wasteland 2 from their games' list. - Iz on 13th september 2012 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.254.109.166 ( talk) 13:41, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Here is an overview article that may be useful to expand the History section, especially pre-2006... It has some interesting points, such as why exactly KotOR2 was rushed and their major projects that got canceled. -- Koveras ☭ 13:56, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello. It is written in the article as is live now "In 2011, the company began working on a third-person open world game named " Stormlands". It was rumored that the game was being produced for the then-unannounced successor to the Xbox 360."
The Xbox 360 was released in 2005 (or 2006?). Either way, how can it be that in 2011 they had started developmental on a game for a console that was unannounced, but also released 5 years prior?
