This is actually a lot worse than I ever imagined, I figured a mid 70's score would send the internet reeling but this is a complete disaster. It's hard to believe that this studio has made two out of my favorite games of all time (BG 1 and 2).

Most likely the most talented developers must have left Bioware some time ago.

No doubt, but Bioware as a studio will always be held to the immense standard of their past hits. For me, they were a part of the golden age of PC gaming in the 90's. I was especially disappointed by Mass Effect 2, when it became apparent that they were taking a turn towards more shallow core gameplay and action before depth and roleplay, for me that was the turning point where I started seeing a worrying tendency to follow trends and standards rather than set them. And it was evident that this turn became much more sharp under the rule of EA.
