Chris Avellone was one of the founding members of Obsidian Entertainment back in 2003. Chris has worked on some of the best and most beloved RPGs in the gaming world. His credits include Planescape Torment, Icewind Dale series, Knight of the Old Republic II, Neverwinter Nights, Fallout 2, Fallout: New Vegas, Wasteland 2, and the recent CRPG throwback Pillars of Eternity.
