It's really depressing how far Bioware has fallen.
We've gone from Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, KOTOR, Jade Empire, Mass Effect 1+2 and arrived at Mass Effect: Andromeda, DA: Inquisition, and fucking Anthem.
I'd actually EA just put them out of their misery so they can't sully their memory any further. Once upon a time I looked at the Bioware logo with respect. Nowadays I just wonder how bad things are going to be.
Best game. I have a bi-annual play through of 1/2/ToB even though I always end up making almost the same choices class wise and story wise. As fun a 1 is its the life given to the companions in 2 that helps make the game grow. Regardless of any complaints I voice BG1-ToB is my top favourite game.
Make way villain, hero coming through!
A likely brain damaged ranger who isn't wrong about his hamster being a miniature giant space hamster ?
Neverwinter Nights
Also beat game. Just so much shit going on all at once you can lose track of what you were meant to be doing and end up in the city catacombs punching a lich in the face.
KOTOR
There are few things more enjoyable than force leaping around a room and landing like 5 attacks at once due to various skills and abilities.
Except maybe force lighting storms.
Jade Empire
Never actually plays this one.
Mass Effect 1+2
More best games. Before they went to shit and loot crates and absurd DLC packets that were originally core game contents. OK that happens in 2 as well especially as Zaeed has a few too many topical dialogue lines to be a random insert after the fact. Despite lore recons 2 was still good and at least had a BBE to fight at the end. Rocking a soldier with the Mattock, headshotting half the things that looked at you funny, fucking the other half, memorable characters. Another hamster ?
Jade Empire is amazing and I would highly recommend it.
Just as a note get the GoG version instead of Steam since when EA put it on Steam they broke the game and made it unplayable without external patching.

Before the dark times. Before the EAmpire.
