        You forgot the best part where despite the insanely short dev time, a big part of their payment was tied to the game’s metascore some time after release. They missed the mark by 1 point (out of 100), and didn’t even get a fraction of the sum as a result.

          I think that was recently proven false. Still, the guys at Obsidian did an amazing job pumping out one of the best games of all time in a year and a half.

      JE Sawyer made a mod for the game after it was released. That’s as close to more dev time as it gets.
