Thanks Bioware for...

[Felix Neumann]

WOW ripoff? No, thanks

It´s much to easy to describe it simply as wow ripoff. The only element to compare the games is the way you fight. All other elements like story, quests, atmoshpere, draft is so much different.

This thread is annoying. Everytime I see the topic title I hear someone saying inside my head: "Thanks Bioware for pimping my ride!"

Bioware has made some incredible games--DA, KOTOR, and others that involve initials. They currently have the new star wars game in production and I am waiting very impatiently for that

I'm just wondering. Has it bothered anyone else that every Bioware RPG has had the same formula since NWN? I mean in terms of how the game is structured. Jade Empire, KOTOR 1, 2, Mass Effect 1, 2, Dragon Age etc. all have the same exact flow of progression. Start in a closed off linear area to get acquainted with the game. Move out into the 'world' on your vehicle/wagon/whatever, gather your party from a handful of locales that have their own turmoils. After you complete these quests in an order of your choosing the game converges back to the ultimate final plot area where you run through some epic gauntlet or other (castle, sith academy etc.) and then slay the big baddie?

It's a bit like how some people mix.

Haha Ermz, don´t disenchant the formula

Dude, this has been the formula of RPGs and fantasy in general for ages. They don´t even hide it. And that´s how amazing Mass Effect 2 is. They get the formula BY THE BOOK and perfectly nails every element of it.

almost every rpg game is about that, both played live with friends or on a pc.

still more interactions than any other genre:
racing: drive in a car, wow!
shooting: shoot!
GTA-style: drive around and shoot!
strategy: build an army --> crush!
jump n run: jump and run!

Did you import your char from the main game? I downloaded "awakening" yesterday, can´t wait to explore it

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU I haven't been online since reading this thread 8 days ago. Great game!

Dragon Age is okay, but I really don't think it's even close to being on the same level as Mass Effect 2 (or the original for that matter).
