Potential boycott of Obsidian in the offing. Very early days, but people already demanding refunds on Steam for Pillars of Eternity.

Hashtag is #obsidiancaves on Twitter if anyone wants to check it out.

Would suggest that all future Obsidian projects would be in doubt if this blows up big enough.

Interesting idea. I think it could work with a fair amount of work. Have you thought about downsizing slightly? Rather than the Runelords ruling vast tracts of territory, maybe they each had a tower and controlled a smaller fiefdom around it. I suggest this because you could then set the whole thing in Abanasinia and the runelords could be the original black robed mages conducting magical experiments out of Zhaman. Karzoug becomes Malock? There are towns in the south on Ice Mountain Bay that could stand in for Sandpoint. The Kharolis Mountains are right there and you could adapt a few classic locations for your own purposes : Skinsaw Murders in Tarsis? Skullcap as Runeforge? Xin Shalast becomes Xak Tsaroth?
