When people refer to Obsidian "jank", are they talking mostly about New Vegas?

If so, it's probably important to remember that Gamebryo is the common denominator of open world jankiness and not Obsidian. Unreal Engine should be able to handle most of this jank free
And KOTOR 2 and Alpha Protocol... looking at their release list nearly all their games have had issues although there's a general upward trend in their QA, at least.

Dammit, I thought they already got released. Pretty hyped for it. I have game pass so be it good, mediocre, or bad I'm going to try it.

i wouldn't put issues on QA team as they most likely caught all that shit and flagged it. Then just project leads marked them as known shippable issues and jank.

Hope I'm proven wrong but I'm guessing it'll average in the 70's.

Not that I really care that much. Alpha Protocol reviewed poorly but it was one hell of a game.

To be fair, KOTOR 2 and New Vegas were rushed out by their publishers, and in KOTOR 2's case, the game didn't even get finished.

Alpha Protocol came from a weird situation where it was kind of a "B" game they were developing for Sega next to their Aliens RPG which got cancelled. Production went along aimlessly for a long time and the game only took shape about a year before it released.

Disco Elysium has satisfied my isometric Fallout cravings better than this will probably will, tbh. Even if it's good, and I hope it is, I won't buy it right now. Need a palate cleanser first.

because of game pass this is a no brainer, no matter the final score. If it's even close to New Vegas I'm happy.

Rumour has it Microsoft ordered Obsidian to make sure the PlayStation version is missing the last 3rd of the game. Expect much lower scores for that version. /s
