Chris Parker Interview

Obsidian Entertainment’s Chris Parker, formerly of Black Isle Studios, answers a batch of questions in RPGDot’s latest Ad Personam interview. An excerpt to follow:

Q: Please tell us who you are, what you do and about your career history.

A: Chris Parker, Producer. I started at Interplay way back in 1995 as a QA tester while I finished up my Bachelors in Chemistry. I graduated and they gave me an assistant producer job. I liked chemicals better but didn’t really want to endure graduate school, so I stayed with games. I’ve produced a number of games from sports titles as part of Interplay’s now defunct VR Sports brand all the way through Black Isle’s premier PC role-playing games. My most significant titles include Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, and Baldur’s Gate II.
