They could be the name for RPGs again

Unpopular opinion: They never were. And neither was Bethesda. Black Isle/Obsidian are the true masters of RPGs. There was a period of time when they would take other studios' engines and IPs and produce sequels/spin-offs that vastly surpassed the original in terms of writing and world design. Bioware made Baldur's Gate, Black Isle made Planescape: Torment. Bioware made Neverwinter Nights, Obsidian made NWN2. Bioware made KotOR, Obsidian made KotOR2. Bethesda made Fallout 3, Obsidian made Fallout: New Vegas. If anything, it's Black Isle/Obsidian games that deserve to be remastered.
