I don't mind the bugs in Obsidian games for the most part.
If you have a great story, engaging characters, interesting gameplay and genuine inspiration fuelling it all, but perhaps shoddy or even negligent bug fixing, that's generally not as much a problem as it used to be, because bugs can be fixed. Fallout New Vegas is one of my favourite games ever, and we all know how that started, but the majority of the release problems have been fixed by now (In my own experience, admittadly, but still). It is still a problem, don't get me wrong, and it's something they should work on, but it's not a huge one to me, because Obsidian games are worth putting up with the bugs.
If, on the other hand, you look exclusively at the performance of the game, you may create something that runs beautifully, but if it comes at the expense of gameplay, characterization or writing, that can't be fixed (or at least, not without considerably more effort).
Does Obsidian deserve the flak it gets for its' bugs? Yes, honestly, but the rest of their work is so amazing that I just don't care. Project eternity is probably the game I anticipate the most of all ongoing game projects that I can think of off the top of my head.
