Well done Bioware

Its sad people still believe in Bioware
Bioware had 2 lucky shots with ME 1 and DA...after that they went downhill with every game.
DA2 was a complete disaster and ME 2 and 3 turned into Gears of War without Blood and a bad ending.

You do know Mass Effect 2 won several GOTY awards and so will ME3. Both sold more then 4 million copies, and are still making profit. Dragon Age II was good imo but many people disliked it because they Mass Effectized it too much, but it is still a profitable game.

I hope you are aware that "making money" and "GOTY" means a grand total of jack and shit when it determines whether a game sucked or not, right? If you don't.... well there's no point in talking to you about this. The fact is, BioWare's good games since Baldur's Gate that were original can be summed up as NWN and Mass Effect 1. The other two games they had that were pretty good, KOTOR and DA, were just dumbed down verison of previous games (in this case NWN and BG).

Was NWN an original title? It was more an evolution of Baldurs Gate in 3D. And I disagree about the Mass Effect series. They moved in a different direction to there older titles but they executed them very well and that's reflected in the widespread critical acclaim. As an RPG/shooter hybrid there are few games that compare.
