Bioware is a rare breed in the gaming industry today.
Even being owned by EA has not taken away their ability to craft grand tales and immerse the player in a universe so vast it takes 40+ hours and multiple play through's to uncover all the content.
I believe that Bioware serves as an example to other gaming companies about how to develop great games.
If you look at Bioware's line-up throughout the years they have a number of outstanding gaming properties.
Some like KOTR (Knights of the Old Republic) and Mass Effect are considered two of the best RPG's of all time.
Even though there are complaints about DragonAge because of the graphics and or game play, it still has gotten fan approval and strong reviews.
It's because Bioware tells a story like no one else on the gaming industry today.
They make you care about the characters, and they let you play out the story as good or bad, or anywhere in between.
Their games always give you a reason for multiple play through's, and there is always new stuff to uncover.
Bioware does not spend time on bad games or producing mediocre entertainment.
They listen to the gaming community, and they take the time to produce quality.
Their PC games come with a tool kit so the community can change or enhance the game, which means their PC games a lot of re-playability.
Other companies need to play games like Mass Effect 1 & 2 so they can understand what a quality game is about.
As gamers we want to play games that are most importantly fun.
Bioware understands this and that is why their games rate so highly over the years.
Thanks Bioware, you set a strong example to follow.
