Bioware has been on a downward trajectory ever since they sold to EA.
Look at how much worse Mass Effect 2 was than 1. They turned a crpg into an action shooter for mainstream appeal. Simplified the class system and ruined the lore with those absurd heat clips. ME was great because of its deep sci-fi lore approach but the lore came second to EA’s corporate profits and their ideas about what kind of gamer wants to see Tali’zorah’s boobs. (Hint: it’s actually the sapphic engineering nerds)
In recent years, we got Andromeda and Anthem. Bioware has been a shuffling zombie of itself for a decade.
Bring back the mineral scanning and let us have a four way with Tali, Garrus, and Legion! (the only good part of ME 2)
Oh by the way I’d just like to add that Dragon Age Origins was underwhelming and I lost interest right after beating the second area. I think they leaned too much into WOW-style combat. KOTOR had better medieval combat and it’s a Star Wars game.
