Ranking The 12 BioWare Games I've Reviewed

My memories of inquisition are pretty much trekking endlessly through the snow to get the stronghold and doing fetch quests to get your prestige class.

The way I like to describe it to people is that Origins is 60 hours of good game in a 70 hour game while Inquisition is 60 hours of good game in a 150 hour game.

For it's time when it came out in 2009, Dragon Age: Origins was truly amazing. I played BG1 and BG2 as a kid cos my dad played cRPGs and played DnD when he was younger, and it DA:O really felt like a continuation of the fantastic storytelling and companion characters that those games had. A spiritual successor to BG1 and BG2 for me.

Jade Empire main menu soundtrack always give me massive chills. Please, Bioware, we need Jade Empire 2, or at least a remaster of the first one.

Dragon Age: Origins is one my most favourite games of all time. I think I've never heard anyone say it's overrated 😅

Can't have a BioWare RPG game ranking without mentioning Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, now can we?

For me Inquisition is by far the worst in story and combat. (Couldn't even finish and I tried like 4 times over the years) That said everybody has their opinion and getting angry at someone because they don't like the same things is just silly.

With Bioware's recent track record can only hope the developers still there can hit their stride and release something good before they go under.

I wish i liked inquisition more. The gameplay loop felt like a chore more than a fun experience and i hated how they hard limited the number of skills you can use at once unlike origins. Really made my mage felt watered down compared to origins.

I love that you aren’t afraid to go against the popular order in your “top x” lists. Makes them feel more honest and personal. I love all their games I’ve played except for Anthem, My ranking would be: 1) DAO 2) DAI 3) ME3 4) ME2 5) KOTOR 6) ME1 7) DA2 8) Jade Empire 9) MEA >>> 10) Anthem Haven’t gotten around to Neverwinter Nights or BG2 and haven’t finished BG1 yet. Need to do that 😂

Baldur's Gate 2, Knights of the Old Republic, Dragon Age Origins, Mass Effect 2. They're some of my favorite games of all time. Thank you Bioware. You will be missed. ⚰

In a perfect world, we would see a remaster of DA: Origins and DA: 2. One for introducing us to a fascinating world and the second for the great characters. Even if for the improvement in performance and updating certain aspects, plus a well-deserved and needed, variety of assets for DA:2.

I would personally put Origins and ME2 at the top. Sadly still haven't finished Inquisition and MEA to rank them properly. Mostly because of the boredom of doing endless fetch quests and large map exploration with mediocre loots. And unpopular opinion of mine is that crafting high level overpowered weapons and armor just takes away the purpose of exploration, not to mention a bit dull companions compared to the previous games.

DAI has bad AI. Like leash range, playing archer and mage was so painful because rest of the party would go back and forth, and enemies constantly were out of tactical camera range with how big the world was. Enemies also were spawning in checkpoint after few seconds. That the mages were even more of damage sponges than warriors mercs they hired did not help either.

I think with Inquisition, they kind of over-compensated. They heard the complaints about DA2 being too small and restrictive, and responded by (as we heard stated proudly over and over again in the game's early marketing) giving us a starting area that was bigger than all of Origins put together. I rate BG2 as my #1, but mainly for nostalgia reasons. I have so many great memories of growing up playing that game. It was the game that basically taught me how to play CRPGs, and in general how to think strategically about my choices in playing a video game--it was the first game I ever delved into character build guides on the internet for.

Im always sad to hear that people like ME2 more. I feel so alone. ME1 feels like a classic sci-fi novel whereas ME2 feels like a 90's sci-fi action movie. Both are good, but ME1 is just so pure in its sci-fi elements.

For me it would be 1. Neverwinter Nights 1 (the best community content of any game I have played) 2. Mass Effect 2 and 3. KOTOR 1 (never thought they would do a proper Star Wars RPG).

I've played all these games besides Andromeda. Our lists are pretty much exact if you swap Origins with Inquisition. The graphics and mechanics are better in Inquisition but there are so many fake choices and sometimes the dialogue is so disjointed the responses make literally no sense. Origins was just amazing. Not gonna lie, I had a tear well up in the corner of my eye when the credits rolled and that "This is War" song played. Sooooooo good.

Yeah I'm not even gonna comment on that second place but to each his own man! Stand up to what you like man, I Respect your opinion

I didn't think I enjoyed Inquisition that much, when I first played it, but then I played it again and now find myself wanting to play it for a third time. I enjoyed the combat, the exploration and the characters. Definitely feels like an MMO at times but I can look past that.
