Is Mass Effect 2 Bioware's smallest project in development?

ME2 would probably have the wonderful combination of lower cost (reused assets) and probably is the most likely of the three to turn a profit since its not a new I.P. or an expensive MMO.

But would the lower development cost of ME2 cover the likely higher sales from Dragon Age, plus the fact that Dragon Age will be much more expansions-friendly?

The last Star Wars MMO flopped badly.

I am totally bummed about the next KOTOR being an MMO, but come on - Bioware is not SOE (those fuckheads).

His implication was that with the Star Wars IP attached, it had a much higher chance of success, compared to the Mass Effect name. I say that the Star Wars name has been tarnished forever in the MMO realm.

Both games have nothing to do with each other. Not that many people played SWG, and I think most of those who did would know where to put the blame on. The market has increased ten-fold since then anyway.

2- (Mass Effect 2)Doesn't have the brand pull that Star Wars has.

I think the performance of the last Star Wars MMO is very relevant when refuting that statement. Particularly, the part where the last Star Wars MMO sucked, and every Star Wars fan hated it.

I think the (KoToR) IP is a much bigger draw than simply "Star Wars"
