Feargus isn't "cowardly" or "penny pinching". He has the habit of promising the publisher he can do too much too fast. Then he runs out of money and time and has to release a game that looks cheap and is half finished.
Part of that is his job though. I think it also mostly depends on how the title is perceived in the eyes of the community. The Larian guy (Sven something) also promised many things that didn't end up in the game (e.g. the upper city of Baldur's Gate) but people don't seem to mind that as the game itself is still good. If anything, judging by Kaami's reaction, I highly doubt the average g*mer knows anything about the people making their game.

Feargus Urquhart who runs Obsidian. Infamous for his falling out with Chris Avellone, the best talent they had. Avellone blames him for over-promising, leading to games like KOTOR2 being released half-finished.

But most games are bad so we should concentrate on the few cases when it does go right.

Some of his Pillars characters are written like shit though. Overall overhyped. And a kitty.

Imagine judging him by his work on Pillars of . He was just phoning it in by then.

It's the game where I know what he wrote. In other games it's an obscure "writer" role.
