I know this died a while back, but I have to say it... Midway was never awful, but the last few years have been tough. They didn't adapt well after leaving the arcade business, I think. But they are recovering now, and have hired some great talent... remember a while back John Romero and Tom Hall joined Midway? J.E. Sawyer of Black Isle is also there... that's good talent.
He has a nice entry in this article about multisystem games (of rpgs)...

This one is from the first installment of that (from a guy who worked on Arx Fatalis) and is also pretty good I think.

Ah. BG is a bit light on story, I guess. It seemed great at the time, but looking back... yes, you go long periods of time with no story progression in that title. It defintely could have been a lot better, and they made major improvements in BGII. As for Fallout, why not??
