I still think The Witcher stands head and shoulders above but I did enjoy Dragon Age. I'm afraid the magic of the Baldur's Gate era has forever faded though, Bioware are going downhill imo (yes, despite Mass Effect 2).

Basically this. To me, Bioware has basically been stuck in the KOTOR formula ever since, well, KOTOR.

I'd also rank Mask of the Betrayer above Dragon Age and possibly even the Witcher - Hell, I'd rank every Obsidian RPG above their Bioware counterparts.

A man of such taste must be friend request'd

Are you serious? U agree with him?

You are not familiar with my admiration for Chris Avellone, I assume

Him being the best English-speaking writer in the business, and all

Yes I am serious that is a ridiculous question.

No, didn't know that. What's he done that's so great, (during the Obsidian years, not earlier)? (and compared to Bioware)

Okay

Do you know Black Isle Studios? Guys behind Fallout, Fallout 2, Planescape: Torment? They became Obsidian.

He works with that lot. In particular he was the writer for Planescape: Torment (often cited as the best-written game of all time) and Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords (my personal best-written game of all time)

Yes, because Chris Avellone is the same guy now as he was ten years ago

I must need to play more, because the bit that I've played I have no liked at all.



"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

But isn't consensus that KOTOR 2 was much worse than KOTOR 1, and Neverwinter nights 2 much worse than NWN1?
