Black Isle Studios certainly laid their own foundation of success with the Fallout franchise, but it was their association with BioWare that briefly put them in the highest echelon of production studios. Their mutual resurrection of the virtually dead CRPG genre with the sudden and surprising success of Baldur's Gate vaulted both companies to the forefront of PC gaming. Following with sequels, expansions, and Black Isle's own success with Icewind Dale, the closely tied companies looked to continue their shared success in the release of Neverwinter Nights.
