You really have trouble differentiating between opinion and cold hard fact, don't you? I think the majority of the board would disagree with your sentiment (and his for that matter). If you compare ME to Baldur's Gate (among the most beloved PC games of all time) you'll find that ME is... not that exceptional to most who have been doing this for a while.

I liked Dragon Age as well but I feel that its a step down from Neverwinter Nights II so I also believe that Bioware have lost a little something along the way (and I don't like their "consoleification" of their games either, makes the PC versions less than they could be, as is the case with ME).

Now that's not entirely fair.

NWN2 was Obsidian, and they're better than BioWare

I'd like to hear an argument for that. 

They've done only two games so far.  KotOR 2 was basically a copy/paste of most of KotOR 1's cast and plot.  NWN2 was basically more of the same which, while nothing to complain about, is nothing to really brag about either.  A lot of what NWN2 offered was being offered in the NWN PRC and then some.  So far all Obsidian has demonstrated is the ability to follow in Bioware's footsteps.  I'm fine with that.  If they're going to be Bioware Jr. then I wish them the best because Bioware makes great games.  In fact, the game industry could use a few more Bioware clones.

However, I don't see anything in their current portfolio to suggest that they're better than Bioware.
