My first one was Knight Of The Old Republic. I got it in the boxset Star Wars, The Best Of PC. Been hooked ever since.
Knights Of The Old Republic is still the best game ever for me. Mass Effect 2 comes in second

KOTOR all the way. After that Bioware was my favorite game developer and/or studio.

My first BW game was KoTOR in 2005, after I played Kotor 2. And It was soooo much better than KotOR 2.

My first BioWare game was KotOR. I've never played BG or NWN because I don't have a gaming PC only a craptacular laptop that won't run games at all :'(

KOTOR, which hasn't aged particularly well, but still has a cracking narrative that beats most new games. Never played a BioWare title on PC, so KOTOR, Jade Empire, ME's, and Origins were all on Xbox.

KOTOR(360) on release
shortly followed by jade empire(pc) and NWN(pc) seems like a short time i think empire was actually 05
never played the Baldur's Gate'sah time moved so much faster when you spend most of your free time drunk

Baldurs Gate and since then, anything that Bioware,Obsidain,Black Isle have done i loved it.The epitome was of course Planescape:Torment,without any questions or doubts!!
I only wish we could relive such an experience.....ah,good old days!
One more reason i think BG was a big success (except from the obvious ones) was that it was the first cRPG based on AD&D license, after a long period (approx 4 years if i remember correctly, since the end of SSI) of moderate independent license cRPGs.
So all pnp RPG fans i remember waited for BG like crazy!!!

KotOR for PC in 2003 or 2004; I finished it like 10 times (KotOR2 too, I love them both for different reasons).
I bought NWN, JE, BG 1&2 after KotOR, but the game that made me really become a Bioware fan was Mass Effect

I came late to computer gaming. I did not own my first computer until 1999, and did not really have an interest until early 2006, when my then-boyfriend decided that we should play BG in multi-player. I gave him BG2 for Valentine's Day. He did not care for what he called the chitchat in BG2, but I loved it. Now, I play BG Tutu (BG1 NPC Project is a must), BG2, IWD2 with IWD2 NPC, NWN2, and DA.

Baldur's Gate. I'd played PnP D&D at uni, loved the Forgotten realms setting, and was dying to see it done a little more justice than 'Curse of the Azure Bonds' and all that older stuff. Wasn't disappointed. That title turned gaming from a casual hobby into a passion.
I remember my countless reloads with extreme fondness - everyone killed by fire-arrow shooting kobalds; everyone killed by basilisks; everyone killed by a slightly random group of red wizards; everyone killed by sirens; everyone killed by Ajantis after he'd been dominated by sirens; everyone killed by Minsc after Dynaheir got lanced by a gnoll. Ah, good times.

My first would have been KOTOR. I had a bad history with BioWare games.
I saw my cousion play KOTOR nd I let my try it for a while but I was around 8 at the time, don't remember much. Later my friend gave a demo CD for baluder's gate, hated it.
When ME came out I rented it for the Xbox and hated it. On black friday 2009 my brother picked up DA:O, I told him not to because it looked really, really bad. Although I got dragon age after I started to like the genre the back cover made the game look rerrible in my opinion. Then my brother let my play it.
I now own BG collection, KOTOR, DA:O collecters and Ultimate eddition, ME, and ME2 and savor every minute playing them. I have no Idea what changed execpt that I started to like the RPG genre more as a grew into my teens (I am turning 16 in may)

I started playing Bioware games a little over a year ago, with Dragon Age: Origins. I was perusing the internet and came across a scathing review by a very conservative source claiming Origins to be exactly what was wrong with the world, because it allowed same-sex romances.
I think I bought it a few days after that. What can I say? I thrive on controversy.
I was not prepared for the sort of game it was. I'd always considered myself a very "casual" gamer because I'd never found a game that could hold my interest for more than an hour or two at a time (except one, Mass Effect, that I never got a chance to finish because shortly after I bought it my apartment got broken into and the game stolen). But after I started playing Origins I could not stop playing. I played late late into the night when I was eight months pregnant and exhausted, because I was so caught up in the story I had to find out what happened. I played it for so long, and so exhaustively, that eventually my husband gave up ever finishing it and just let me go at it for hours and hours (with a new baby!).
And for the first time I thought to myself things like, holy crap, this is an art form, and you can tell stories with this, thoughts that had never occurred to me before Dragon Age. And all of a sudden, video games were totally different. They were fascinating, entertaining, thought-provoking, all these things I'd never considered they could be before, and it was as if someone had lit a fire under me. At first I wanted to play nearly everything, then I needed to know how games were made. And then, gods help me, I wanted to do it myself.
Then came the part where I had these silly things called "hopes," and "dreams" and "goals" and "aspirations," and high-school drop-out me enrolled in college and started getting a 4.0 . . .
Anyway, that's my Bioware story, and it's probably a lot more personal than the original poster was looking for. But it's what I wanted to say, so there you go.

First Bioware game for me: Shattered Steel for MS-DOS in 1996. I think that's also Bioware's first game.

I'm pretty new to Bioware games. My first was Mass Effect about a month or so before the release of Mass Effect 2. Needless to say I've been hooked ever since.

I remember it clearly. Baldur`s Gate. I was playing might and magic 6 and 7 at the time, and had just finished both of them. A friend of mine popped over with Baldur`s Gate, and said I should try it out. I borrowed it, and started playing. Hooked me immediatly, to say the least.

Baldur's Gate.
It was the first rpg I even tried I think, been hooked ever since. I think I learned most of my English from the Infinity engine games

My first Bioware game was Baldur's Gate. Why did I get it? I was playing RPG games like that since the original Wizardry back in 1982.

Neverwinter Nights. Back in 2000 i was only interested in fps, so Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 somehow slipped through unseen. NWN was my first try at something different and i was hooked.
I almost repeated my BG Mistake with Jade Empire, so i almost missed that as well
I tried playing BG a few years later, but couldn't get into it, same with Icewind Dale. I still have them here, maybe one day I'll give them another try. Aside from that, bought and loved every Bioware-PC-Game.

Exactly the same for me. I loved Forgotten Realms but a lot of our core group of PnP players had moved to different places so I couldn't play that as much anymore. Baldur's Gate (kinda) made up for it
