I take it you are no longer arguing that Troika were involved in Baldur's Gate as well as dropping the Bioware were created by Black Isle line.Void(null) said:BioWare was not created as a result of Black Isle (Obsidian and Troika were) but many of BioWares former and current big name creative staff had roots at Black Isle.
Black Isle is the link that ties them all together... not BioWare.
If you want to make a case for many important Bioware people having worked at Black Isle then you could name some examples.
The key Troika people were Interplay employees working on Stonekeep before Black Isle was formed. Instead of saying Black Isle formed them it is more accurate to say that they formed a new company because they were not happy at Black Isle having been happy being Interplay Employees.
