When was the last BioWare game that was actually excellent? ME2 in 2010?
- SSLy 3y agoExcept the infamously underwhelming ending, ME3 was excellent.
- LegitShady 3y agoDeus ex mankind divided was a great game that just feels like it ends too early. Apparently square enix is to blame for that.
- reb 3y agoI dunno, I really enjoyed Dragon Age: Inquisition... but it was also my first real exposure to BioWare, so take it with a grain of salt.
- YawningAngel 3y agoI had a lot of fun with Inquisition, but the MMOish world design and the fact that so much core plot was hived off into Trespasser makes it hard to call the game truly excellent.
- pradn 3y agoYou should play Dragon Age: Origins. It's a lot tighter, way less filler. I look at these games with a million copy-paste quest markers and "points of interest" and just know there's little actual substance there. Or you can play Baldur's Gate 3 like everyone else is now :) The DnD systems take a bit of getting used to. The game is an excellent story-telling experience, despite that ("despite" in my opinion).
- karaterobot 3y agoGood news, they've got several other, better RPGs :)
- boppo1 3y agoKotor 2
- consilient 3y agoKotor 2 was Obsidian, not BioWare.
- oneepic 3y agoProvided you use mods and community patches, sure. I had to replay all of Nar Shaddaa, and kept getting the bug where it's skipping all the dialogue. (Also, I felt my ending was underwhelming.)
- lucisferre 3y agoNever been able to get past a game breaking crash bug so I've never finished KOTOR2 sadly.

- jonny_eh 3y agoMDK2
- yamazakiwi 3y agoThey made a 2? I remember getting the demo disk of MDK from GamePro Magazine AGES ago.
- jonny_eh 3y agoYa, but the first was made by Shiny Entertainment.
- kyleyeats 3y agoAre you kidding? The third title in their famous Baldur's Gate series just came out and everyone is talking about it. It's being called a triumph of PC gaming and a return to form. Oh wait. They only made the first two. (The answer to your question is ME1)
- bluefirebrand 3y agoDid Bioware even make either Baldur's Gate game? I thought they were just the publisher, Black Isle was the developer? Do I have that backwards? Edit: I looked it up and I do have it backwards.
- hiddencost 3y agoReread the parent. They were attempting sarcasm.
- Nition 3y agoYou've actually misread bluefirebrand's comment in this case.
- bluefirebrand 3y agoNo, I got the joke. I'm fully aware that Baldur's Gate 3 is not related to Bioware at all. Also that Larian is basically eating Bioware's lunch right now because Bioware has dropped the ball on Dragon Age which would occupy a similar space to BG3 It's actually even funnier that Larian is doing it by using a franchise that Bioware built 20 years ago.
- User23 3y agoDragon Age hasn’t occupied a similar space to BG3 since Origins.
- bluefirebrand 3y agoGameplay wise I would agree. But generally I think many people who love these games are in it for the writing, the character romances, the storyline, and the exploration. In this regard, Baldur's Gate 3 has a lot of similarities with Dragon Age 2 and Inquisition, and presumably Dreadwolf whenever that comes out. The individual details of the mechanics are less important to many.
- quickthrowman 3y agoBaldur’s Gate 2, which is also BioWare’s best game.
- yamazakiwi 3y agoI Love Shadows of Amn but I'd personally rather play Icewind Dale :)
- D13Fd 3y agoIcewind Dale was amazing. I feel like Tyranny is IWD’s spiritual successor as a great game lost in a bigger game’s shadow.
- quickthrowman 3y agoI also prefer playing IWD, the pacing is much better without so many fetch type quests, and the tactical situations seem more interesting.
- iepathos 3y agoDragon Age: Inquisition 2014 was quite good. Not as good as origin, but far better than dragon age II.
- himinlomax 3y agoI really enjoyed Andromeda, even though everyone shat on it.
