Thus far, Obsidian has been very good at creating games within reasonable constraints, which means they're typically not overscoped relative to the size of the game's actual audience. And they do all of this while being a multi project studio that's allegedly good to its employees.

Yes, I really like them as well. And I bet the game will be good too. I just worry about the game not selling good enough and with Microsoft's current track record of shutting studios down, Obsidian being shut down as well.

Microsoft is a wrench in the works, but they're not building a game any larger than they've been doing for some years now. This is still a game that is scoped so that it doesn't need to sell 10 million copies to break even.
