And all that just as the rest of us forgot and forgave the whole Mass Effect 3 “choose your colour” ending. One of the most beloved RPG game series in the history of gaming was tarnished for the second time with this poorly executed, horribly written and unfinished mess that was supposed to be the continuation of Mass Effect universe for a new generation. All we have to do is look at Mass Effect: Andromeda. May the Force Be With You.- BioWare September 11, 2021īut with the recent (and not so recent) Bioware disasters, would we even trust the current Bioware teams, and especially EA, to do their own game a justice? Probably not. We’re proud of the work we did on the original Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and genuinely cannot wait to play Aspyr’s Remake! As we continue our work on Star Wars: The Old Republic, we will watch with great interest. One of the staples of Bioware is The Knights of the Old Republic and with the recent non-answer by EA regarding its and Bioware’s involvement in the upcoming remake, we have to wonder if the decision to hand the remake over to Aspyr was completely EA’s decision. That was, of course, until the OG Bioware team started leaving, talk of insane crunch-time and developer pressure, EA started making horrible anti-consumer decisions (as they’ve always done) and the quality of games began to visibly drop. A whole new generation of RPGs, stories and extended universes was created by Bioware and their RPGs. Its forte was not gun play, or amazing graphics, but the story, the way it was told and the way a player could influence that story based on how they play the game and interact with other characters.

The studio that brought us Mass Effect, Baulder’s Gate, Dragon Age and KOTOR among others was regarded as one of the best gaming studios in its day. Firstly, it is an incredibly well-crafted story and an RPG that was developed by the old Bioware team, and that alone should speak volumes. If you look at any list of the best RPGs of all time, you are more than likely to find The Knights of the Old Republic on the list, and there is a good reason for it.
