I mean the last Bioware game I played and enjoyed start to finish was Dragon Age: Origins, so... /shrug.

I accept that ME2 was a good game, but I couldn't get into it. It felt too much like a shooter, too little like an RPG for me. And don't get me started on DA2. "ANOTHER WAVE!" and character customization being kneecapped, or completely removed in the case of your party members, left me quitting it after some 3-4 hours.

Inquisition was okay, but I still lost interest after some 6-8 hours. It wasn't "bad," but it was still an okay game wearing a good games skin.

Bioware losing the creative freedom to explore characters outside of the mainstream that the saudi's are going to permit them to write/create is a real problem. As a marker of political freedom of expression and as a stance against the fucking fascists that are rapidly encroaching on people's rights, this is a huge step in the wrong direction. But I won't mourn any specific games. Honestly, I hope they get axed, so they are given the opportunity to go indie and/or get picked up by a better producer/studio.
