Personally, the experience and quality of Bioware makes me think that one of their games in first. Conversely, what does the VGC community think? Which Western RPG is best? Best WRPG company?

I'm not a big fan of western RPGs. I like to be able to do everything, so the amount of choices and inability to go in every direction makes me feel like I'm missing out on something. Out of the ones i've played, Planescape Torment is my favorite. I also liked Jade Empire very much. I've owned Mass Effect for over three months but I haven't even tried it yet.

You say you don't like WRPGs, then you go and describe a JRPG, to describe how you don't like WRPGs. I don't get it.

WRPG: less linear, lots to do and side-quests, 1st- or 3rd-person perspective. You are the character, the story is you-centric, Often with shallow character development, and an occasionally epic plot.

JRPG: totally linear, less freedom and side-quests, but often mini-games. 3rd-person perspective. Often deep character development, with universally cheesy plots.

Back to topic:

My fav WRPG... Fallout, although Baldur's Gate 1 and Icewind Dale 1 were pretty epic.
