I shouldn't do this this, it never ends well.  But why do you say this?

crappy engine for lazy/incompetent developers (think QBasic in DOS times) by
incompetent developers.

He-he, seems it is 3rd slogan in my collection:

Interplay: By Gamers, for Gamers
Bioware: By Faggots, for Faggots
Unity engine: By Botchers, for Botchers

Not sure if it really is unity based, I think Obsidian use their own engine.

In fact, Obsidian is using the Unity engine for Pillars of Eternity.
I'm not sure why that matters though, this isn't an FPS.  The fact that
it's being made by Obsidian should matter much more, whether you think
that's good or bad.  It's hard to see how using, say, the Unreal engine
instead would make it a better game.

Personally, it's on my 'must try' list.  I liked the Infinity Engine, most 
likely because of the game on top of it.  Obsidian has a good track record 
with me and I will get it.

Actually the problem with the old (I think version 4) of the Unity 
engine simply was that it did not scale to well (No real multithreading 
capabilities). You clearly could see
that in Dreamfall Chapters Part 1, which is a beautiful game but ran 
into serious performance issues. This however is a non issue for 
inifinity style games which have way lower graphical requirements.
The speed problems are resolved btw with the newest version of Unity 
which is slowly being adopted as we speak.

because it will require 64bit OS for "normal" execution as any Unity crap does.
I watched different teasers/trailers - it looks like Icewind Dale in higher resolution.
(Just to remind: Icewind Dale ran perfectly on 400MHz Pentium 2).


> it's being made by Obsidian should matter much more,

and Obsidian made so called "Dungeon Siege" III - utter piece of shit,
not deserved to be torrented (not to mention $4 bucks I paid for it on a sale).
