Defining Duke Ultimate, Episode 94 | Obsidian's Fork In The Road (Patreon)

The Dukes are officially united in good health to talk about another thing in good health: Obsidian Entertainment. While their last two releases haven't been the hardcore RPGs we've grown accustomed to them producing, it hasn't stopped Obsidian from dropping two of the highest rated games of the year. With Grounded 1.0 and Pentiment out, Obsidian has found themselves with a fun yet difficult decision to make. As production of Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2 continue to ramp up, will they continue to do these smaller experiments? If so, will this creative approach reach the massive amount of first party studios? This truly feels like the beginning of something special, so it's time to sift through all the possible permutations of Obsidian's decisions and see where they can go from here.
