Obsidian's first pitch was Dark Alliance reskinned into a Star Wars game. Glad that was rejected in favor of kotor 2.
I think this is not new information. Feargus mentioned it in an interview before.
Yeah:

I find it hard to believe Josh isn't going to finally be forced to contribute to a new AAA project, but maybe somebody else at Obsidian is making that Pillars of Eternity tactical RPG he used to mention.
You should be thankful you didn't get to see that and that Alpha Protocol will remain a pristine and untainted memory, free from the obese and ugly stronk black female being cast as the new Michael Thorton, the micro-transactions store, always-online requirements, bluehair writing and everything else that would come with being made these days.Alpha Protocol was so good, I didn't need reminding we're not on Alpha Protocol 5 right now
Technically Alpha Protocol has one of the strongest, most dominant females in (non-porn) video game history. Not sure there's much competition on *raped the main protagonist* avenue.You should be thankful you didn't get to see that and that Alpha Protocol will remain a pristine and untainted memory, free from the obese and ugly stronk black female being cast as the new Michael Thorton, the micro-transactions store, always-online requirements, bluehair writing and everything else that would come with being made these days.Alpha Protocol was so good, I didn't need reminding we're not on Alpha Protocol 5 right now
You're just missing out on a particular cultural context which you'd understand if you had a greater interest in the humanities. Being used to online American discourse you might associate the tipping of a hat with the new atheism movement or comic book nerd types wearing fedoras in horribly failed attempts to come off as sophisticated or old fashioned. For an Israeli though the associations must be with the Haredim, who are even more chosen by the jewish god than him and that are very conservative and do none of the dirty work that they get the lesser jews to do for them. They do not serve in the army, would harass any black person off their street and are fully aware of how superior they are to the rest of them. Me not wanting faggotry in entertainment reminds him of their sentiments. They literally wear fedoras and that's why he keeps using the rating. He's calling me an ultra-orthodox jew.Infinitron with his trademark fedora, whenever someone suggests the ridiculous idea modern-day writing is pozzed.

It's actually sad how few ESPIONAGE games are out there.It's an espionage game, spying shit up should be the way to go anyway.
Oh yes. There is a fun narrative going on right now that it's going to be a haven for the Reddit refugees. It's also where Josh Sawyer moved his "answering questions" business after Ask Jeeve and Formspring.Tumblr still exists?
The look back on the past 20 years of Obsidian Entertainment continues after losing one project and is followed up with one of their biggest games yet with Fallout: New Vegas. Hear stories on New Vegas, Dungeon Siege III, South Park: The Stick of Truth, and even the canceled Stormlands in part two of this multi-part series.
