The History of Obsidian Entertainment

Video Overview & Insights

Obsidian Entertainment, creator of hit games like The Outer Worlds, Fallout New Vegas, and South Park the Stick of Truth has a rich and expansive history. In this documentary, I will be detailing the colorful story behind one of the best video game studios to ever live.

im so sad the they slowly got rid of their best devs and now its purely riding on its reputation like bethesda.

Obsidian without Chris Avellone is nothing. I was so depressed when he got metoo but then he took the two women to court and not only won but they had to pay him for defamation.

24:34 It wasn’t a an official title of the final product, was it?



Well, therefore it was a working title.





















A working title isn’t supposed to be original.
A working title isn’t supposed to be a part of a final product and something that customers/an audience should worry about.

A working must be convenient to work with…















Duh.. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️😂😂😂😂🤓🤓🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

I love how you call this a documentary, but it is in actuality a video essay

Great video!

The amount of flubbed words, misinformation and mispronunciation in this video has gone from annoying to embarrassing and then back around to being entertaining lol

This makes a lot of sense why all 3, Obsidian, InXile, & Double Fine were aquired by Microsoft. I had no idea they were all buddies*. It kinda reminds me of Sony's with Naughty Dog, Insomniac, & Sucker Punch.

Such a good video, would love to see more like it! Keep up the great work!

I've once met the director of Obisidan's Outer Worlds when he was holding a guest lecture and Q&A here in Austria. I didn't really like that he was a bit show-offish (big no-no here in Austria) and that he praised his character designers too much although I've literally seen better artwork by hobby artists on Instagram. Overall, Outer Worlds was bound to not become too famous. I already knew it back then when he showed us some "exclusive" footage.

Broo this video is great, u should do more of other obscure companies

I was very into fallout 1 and 3 but was never able to enjoy the franchise in 3D, I truly don't understand why New Vegas is so well regarded, I tried playing it for about 20 hours and could not care for it. Despite that, I understand it is very well loved by others.

can’t believe how high quality this video is and how it hasn’t gotten more traction yet

Great video on one of my favourite studios!

This was a really interesting and fantastic watch! I'm amazed this doesn't have more views, you clearly put a lot of work and effort into this. I'll share it with all my gamer buddies, you deserve the growth my friend!

Nice video 🇧🇷 after playing Fallout New Vegas i had to know more about this studio, thanks. I go place some this games on my list for play.

Great video. Obsidian has made several of my favorite games, and KOTOR 2 is by far my favorite RPG.
New Vegas, Outer Worlds, Pillars 1 and 2 are all amazing as well.

The weakest title for me was Neverwinter Nights 2. Unlike The Sith Lords and New Vegas, where Obsidian managed to surpass the earlier games in those IPs, Neverwinter Nights 2 is nowhere near the first one, especially regarding multiplayer.

Cant wait for Avowed!
