June 12 marked the 20th anniversary of Obsidian Entertainment, the RPG specialist formed by a clutch of developers from Black Isle Studio. To mark the occasion Obsidian has been showing off its next big project, Avowed, which began as its take on a Skyrim-style RPG before evolving into something that's more about depth than breadth: which co-founder Feargus Urquhart reckons is "where Obsidian really shines". Fans of its games would probably agree, and if you're not one yet then here's a chance to jump on-board, because Obsidian's feeling generous.
The studio has discounted almost everything it has for sale on Steam, with the older titles especially now a steal. Let's start with the absolute jewel in the crown, Fallout: New Vegas, which is probably the best 3D Fallout there is, and no wonder because a lot of the folk who made it worked on Fallout 1 and 2 at Black Isle back in the day. I cannot praise this game highly enough, you've probably already played it, but if you haven't then 75% off ($2.49 / £2.24) means you're getting a stone-cold classic for pocket change.
