Over the last year I have been replaying a bunch of the games from Bioware's golden age and I don't think any other company has ever had such a great run of fantastic games. Aside from graphics/UI and some minor quality of life things, the games still hold up amazingly well.

I hope Veilguard ends up being good.

On reddit for 14 years yet thinks bioware still has the same caliber of staff that made good games in the past. Goddarn what an r-slur.

What is this run they are talking about? Bg1 to mass effect 2? Sure its good run. But isnt fromsoft demon souls to armored core 6 more impressive?

Or Bethesda morrowind to skyrim. Morrowind. 2002. Oblivion 2006. Fallout 3 2008 and skyrim 2011. In 9 years they managed to push all those out.

Dark souls is unironically bad

Agree on morrowind arc, but you can't call Ok Boomer with morrowind in your mouth

but the gold standard arc might have to be Blizzard from '94-2010. Dominant in three genres for a decade and a half and couldn't miss.

I don't mind hard boss fights that you're expected to die a lot before beating, but having to spend 2 minutes running back to the boss room should be a hanging offence.

there were a couple instances where it was bad I'll agree, but I think overall it added to the game. You explore an area, learn the mobs, then have to try to get to the boss as cleanly as possible to have the best attempt

Almost all rpgs have some form of this and part of DS identity was how prominent it was :tayshrug:

or, wild possibility, an action-RPG that narrows the scope of combat down to a bad rhythm game by making the control intentionally awful,

and then removes all trace of a decent story,

isn't a new amazing genre. It's just a bad game.

I cited the effective removal of all other skill mechanics, not the existence of that one

darksouls' story is butt with or without exposition, and if you think it isn't you're effectively an edgy kingdom hearts fan

I'd say so tbh.

like its hard to say because studios change, staff change, resources they have access to changes. Bioware has changed form like 4 times now.

I don't even remember the last bioware game I bought, I think it was either ME3 or SWTOR. That shit was over ten years ago.

You are right. Those included vice city. San black city. Rdr and bully. Really great run.

Looking back. Its strange how hard its sudendly for devs to put out games.

Like blizzard. In 5 year period they relased starcraft+broodwar. Diablo 2+lod. Warcraft 3+tft and world of warcraft.

Now they cant put out one game in 5 year period.

Same with rockstar and bethasda. Only fromsoft is stil putting out games regularly

Morrowind through Skyrim is the greatest video game trilogy of all time. And the only reason fallout 3 and 4 aren't considered classics just a step below elder scrolls is because of new Vegas.

There are other trilogies not as sporadic in quality as Morrowind - Skyrim.

Morrowind is solid

Oblivion is janky as shit

Skyrim is good for goofing around.

Also these games aren't a fricking trilogy

Edit: Thinking on it, the first 3 dragon ages are pretty much the same just slightly more skewed due to DA 2 being a significantly bigger frick up than Oblivion

Oh for fricks sake this better not be the case. Solas is the one interesting bad guy in DA apart from Arishok and Inquisition was basically about setting him up to be the main antagonist for the next game.

Well. It is. Thats why game is nolonger called dreadwolf. If you dont belive it. Check achievements. He is finall boss.

Also he is nowhere to be seen in marketing materials. He is absent almost whole story.

Also inquisitor apears in game. As bad guy who you need to defeat.

Tevinter seems to have been retconned into some final fantasy type bullshit, where it's still "medieval", but with sprinklings/handfuls modern tech. Healing magic has been steadily scaled back in capabilities in the series. I don't believe there's even a healing spell in the last game.
