My first Bioware game?

Dragon Age: Origin's. Honestly, I didn't even know they existed til my friend told me that if I didn't get Origins she'd disown me.

And now I am hooked.

Mass Effect 2 for PC in May 2010. I bought it because I just could not not do it. The reviews made it seem so awesome. (That's saying a lot for someone who never played games on the PC before.) I was not disappoint.

"Joined" the forums in October or November 2010, I believe.

True, but I'm feeling rather magnanimous tonight. Of course, I can promise no such generosity on the part of the other mods, but folks seem to be behaving so I'm willing to be a little lax this time.

Shattered Steel

My old man bought it back in 98 and allow me to play it. I was scared as Sh*t and I remember trying my best NOT to get blown up.

EVERY SINGLE TIME I DIE.

13 years later, Here I am.

Oh man that was long ago, but I believe it was BG for me as well.

SWTOR will be the 3rd, 4th ,5th, 6th, and onwards. 

[ThatDancingTurian]

I don't remember the exact date, but I started with KotOR. My brother got it originally and raved about it. I was sold when he mentioned I could play as a girl, and I've been buying BioWare games ever since.



Aaaaand now I want to play it again, but my brother has it with him out of state. ::weep::

Neverwinter nights was my first bioware experience

[Baleshadow]

Game: Baldur's Gate
Year: 1999
Why: My older brother bought it for me for my birthday, because he wanted to play it.

[foil-]

1998 - Baldur's Gate.  I brought a computer for it:  BG1 was a $3500 game form me.

Signed up (I think) for the forums.  At least I recall the website.  Still miss their first website with the tomes on the bookshelf.

Since then, I've only ever played their D&D related games (and Black Iles games as well - except the lion heart one or whatever it was called).

Then Mass Effect came out.  I didn't pay it much attention until a friend brought it.  He still hasn't finished it.  But I fell in love with that series.  Its probably my favorite game since the original infinity engine games.  Its sci-fi at its best.

BioWare has done well since its small beginnings on Baldur's Gate.  Excellent business men and one of the best story tellers in the industry.  BioWare has gone a long way into bringing video games up to movie like exposure.

My friend bought it for PC, didn't like it very much (he'd seen The New Sh*t Trailer), I borrowed it, didn't like it. Later I borrowed it from my sister, who had it on Xbox, I loved it. I also bought ME2, which was great, and ME, which IMO sucked balls 'coz of the gameplay....

Edit: Thinking about it, the only Bioware series I haven't really played is the Neverwinter Night series because it came out during my hiatus from gaming. Is it worth picking up?

i recommend NWN not for the main campaign, but for the community modules that have been made thanks to its toolset: Aielund saga 1-4, a Dance with rogues 1&2, Saleron's Gambit 1-5, Almraiven/Shadewood...the list of high quality modules is sooo extensive its impossible for me to list them all.

BG2 maybe the "sky father" of all RPG's, but the NWN toolset is BioWare's single greatest contribution to the RPG genre.

KOTOR, if you want to get technical.



But it was ME that made me a BioWare fan.

[marcusgs221]

all six disks of BG were AMAZING!!! god i miss that game.

[Daidoji Tangen]

I played Jade Empire, and it was was one of the best games for the XBOX (we need a remake and then a sequel). But I had no idea who made it.



I didn't become a Bioware fan until I heard about Dragon Age 2. It sounded cool, so I ordered DA:O online. While I waited for it, I picked up Mass Effect reasoning it would be like a taste of DA:O while I waited for it. All of those games I have done multiple playthroughs with. and will probably play again.

Baldur's Gate, saw a review in pc powerplay and decided to buy it, made a mighty paladin and got totally owned by some kind of slime, it was green thats all i remember. Tried to read the manual and my brain flatlined, to this day i still have not finished Baldur's Gate.

[PhrosniteAgainROFL]

Since 2009 Yeah, I know... until 2006 I was playing PC games in gaming cafes and I was playing mostly CS and DotA.. In 2007 started Guild Wars on my home PC...

On 30/05/2009 I bought Mass Effect. Since then...

Mass Effect - 4 playthroughs(72 hours)
Dragon Age:Origins - 3 playthroughs(203h) plus one Awakening playthrough
Mass Effect 2 - 3 playthroughts(88h)
KotOR - 1 playthrough(32h)
Jade Empire:SE - 1 playthrough(15h)
Baldur's Gate - 1 playthrough(40h)
Baldur's Gate 2 plus exp - 1 playthrough(83h)

DA:O > BG2 >= KotOR >= ME2 > ME > BG

Jade Empire is mediocre and I never got into NWN. I have finished NWN2 though

First Bioware game: Baldur's Gate 2 Shadows of Amn
Year: 2001
Why you started playing it: I was a freshman in highschool, and had just been roped into playing third edition D&D by one of my friends.  The conversation went something like

Jamie:  Matt, we're playing Dungeons and Dragons

Me: We are?

Jamie:  Yup, your our fighter, let's go make your character.

Me: okay.

And I was hooked.  Bought all three core books like 2 weeks later.  And then saw a D&D computer game on the shelf at Target.  Figured, hey, this could be cool.  Bought it, poped it in, and was hooked.  To this day, it remains my favorite game of all time.  Nothing in gameing has ever made the same kind of impression on me.  I'd never gotten in to RPG's before, but this game opened my eyes to the genre and what you could do with it.  Plus the story is still my favorite of any game I've ever played.  Followed closely by KotOR. 

  I wasn't the only one.  One of my friends Nate, would start every day of school for all four years, by walking up to me and saying

"So, Baldur's Gate"

First thing I did after I started playing Origins was go up to him and say, "So Dragon Age"

Since then, I've bought Baldur's Gate+ Tales of the Sword Coast, Neverwinter Nights Diamond, KotOR, Jade Empire, Mass Effect, Dragon Age Origins, Mass Effect 2, and have preordered DA2.  And I'm gonna play ME3 and TOR. 

[Pstemarie]

Started with Baldur's Gate and haven't stopped since.

Prior to BioWare, SSI had been licensed to publish Pool of Radiance, I still have that series of Forgotten Realms games (on floppy disk) packed safely away... 

I still have those too. Since I no longer own a floppy drive, I'm not sure what I expect to do with them. Coasters, perhaps? x

Baldur's Gate - so yeah, it's been a while.

Same here.

[aries1001]

I would advice all of you that gave floppy games to not throw them away or use them as coaster, but actually to donate them either a library or better yet a museum or an archive. It is important that the old games of yesteryear on floppy discs do not disappear. If they do, in 10 or 20 years time, we won't have any collective memory, i.e. real physical copies, of how games once were made.



On a related note, I still have the 5 disc version of BG1 I bought in 1999. And to me, this was also a big selling point. A game released on 5 cd's. Later on, I bought the BG1 DVD version...
