IGN cracks me up sometimes :lol

Yeah, they talked all about that in the Icons episode about Bioware.

They are both medical doctors, and not just software devs either.

Last I heard, one of them is still practicing medicine too.
 
I liked it, but at the same time would really rather Bioware not devote any time or resources to a sequel. Can't really think of another game like that in my experience. But a nice high-quality gaming buy as is at $15.
 
Certainly not a bad game, but it makes too ambitious a promise for the gameplay that's delivered. Presentation and dialogue are very well done, but the game is too linear, the combat is shallow, and there just isn't customization to keep you busy.

It takes a huge step back from KOTOR, which had great minigames, multi-tiered combat, fun and intuitive customization, a great story, along with the branching dialogue trees. Not to mention a fantastic score, which JE doesn't come close to matching.
 
A fall from grace IMO. Hard for me to believe this is from the same guys that made the Baldur's Gate series. I hope Dragon Age fares better than this. :(
 
I liked it but it tought me a lesson about buying games at full price that arent from Nintendo. Never again!

Sucked? Even I have to think that is a bit harsh. Wasn't that great? Sure. Sucked? No

I'm holding Bioware to the standards that they have set. This game is not up to Bioware standards IMO. It blew.

Just my opinion. You aren't required to agree.
