If you’re at all into PC-style role-playing games of theBaldur’s Gatevariety, this may be big news to you: Chris Avellone has, according to briefTwitterand Facebook announcements, parted ways with Obsidian Entertainment, a studio he helped found back in 2003, where he acted as creative director.

Avellone’s credited works practically read like a list of my favorite RPGs, including the likes ofFallout 2,Knights of the Old Republic 2,Alpha Protocol,Planescape: Torment,Neverwinter Knights 2,Fallout: New Vegas, and more recently,Pillars of Eternity.

He didn’t state why he left or where he’s going next, and at the time of writing Obsidian has yet to issue its own statement. Personally, I’ve got fingers crossed that he shows up to writeFallout 4.
