Sadly (for you) I refuse to be a fanboy. I believe that any company should continue to prove themselves with each and every new product. No one should live on their former glory if that has waned to a pale imitation of its former glory. In my nopinion if you want £40 quid off me prove why I should give you it.

I find it unreasonable to say, yes I like BG, NWN, KOTOR therefore BW from then onwards may only produce fantastic games. That is just stupid on so many levels. I much sooner judge people and companies on what they are like at present.

My view and yes not everyone here (although still a great many) Is that they lhave lost their way. I see them as lost and I just hope they get back to being a great company.

Bioware has only gotten more popular, but you seem to take that as worse.

Bioware has ALWAYS used the same Bioware formula since Baulders gates. NOTHING about that has changed.

What about  recent Bioware games don't live up to KOTOR or Baulders Gate? Answer that and i can start taking you seriously

Sorry can not respond free speech has been cancelled.

As critical as I can be, I'll thank any company that keeps putting in the effort to create quality RPGs. It's obviously not an easy genre to specialize in for developers, but it's the genre that has provided me with the most gaming entertainment, by far. I support this thread.

To be fair its a bit late to change into doing Halo clones for BW. They got into this when RPG's were big. Really would we buy a RPG off say Bungie ? or a Gears of war game of BW. Your point is not really valid as to changing genre. They are locked in at this point.

I seem to recall a lot of people thinking that Blizzard should stick to R.T.S.'s and that they couldn't possibly know what they're doing when making an M.M.O. Yeah that totally didn't work for them did it <_< ? If a company has a good foundation and a damn near flawless track record  they should be given a little support until they prove unworthy or to be shown lacking. I have yet to see that in a Bioware game. I personally couldn't care less about ME but I know a lot of people like it and it was fairly well received. I personally will continue to suppoert Bioware until they put out something that I feel is subpar.

Yep, you can't answer cause you don't know so you use a BS evasion tactic.



And BTW, the constitution says GOVERNMENT shall not impede your freedom of speech, not Bioware.
Which is irrelivent anyway since Bioware is canadaian and not obligated to follow American laws...

Bioware has demonstrated to be a company that produce high quality games. For the quality and the efforts of their works it is absolutely fair to be thankful.
However producing games is costly and we all support Bioware by buying his products. As previously mentioned we will thank BW with our money although i think that a sincere compliment on how they are doing their job is still appreciated. So all this cynicism against a fanboy is not justified IMHO.
Although we are not naive and we all know that everything has a price; Bioware has demonstrated to make the price of their games well worth their quality.
I'm thankful for that; for the fact that i've never regretted buying a Bioware game and for the first time i have pre-ordered a special edition of a game(DA2SE) rather than waiting for the reviews before buying the game....in a short way BW has my trust as gaming company and for that trust i'm more willing to pre-order their stuff because i'm sure i won't be disappointed as a costumer.
This is my personal opinion however.

Thank you Bioware! I am really looking foward to DA2 and I am sure it is going to be be just as good if not better then DA:O! Thanks for working so hard to give us great games!

[Gatorargeis]

I'd rather have a game company who charges me a lot and constantly putting out GOTY titles than a company who charges me a little bit less while putting out mediocre ones.

I'd rather buy from a company whose games can keep me entertain for months and months despite not giving their 100% (like some claim on this forum) than buy from a company whose games will bore me in a week despite its best efforts.

So thank you Bioware, for making so many outstanding games.

[ErichHartmann]

I just wanted to say as a longtime BioWare fan (1998) thank you!

Actually "freedom of speech" doesn't apply on message boards owned by companies or individuals, only government agencies; when you enter a forum you are effectively on that person or company's property and they have the right to censure you all they like - or remove you if you're causing problems.  (not to mention, "freedom of speech" actually only means that in Amercia you cannot be jailed for voicing your opinions ... some people seem to misunderstand exactly how far that right goes)

[hottkarl4lyf]

If Bioware was not an inanimate company and, instead a really hot chick, I would make love to it for putting out such awesome games. And I wouldnt even kick it out of my bed after sex. Bioware deserves thanks, in addition to our hard earned monies. So I'll say it as well.

Thanks Bioware!

Fair, but if a person had treated you well in past encounters, going out of his way to show you a good time, and one day you heard a rumor that he might be up to something nefarious - would you dismiss all his previous good deeds and treat him like garbage based on that rumor, or wait to see if it turned out to be true? This is, effectively, what you are doing, condemning an old friend for a rumor and a few half overheard discussions that could easily be taken out of context. If that is the kind of person you are, I shouldn't want you as a friend ... I encourage you to take a step back and ask yourself what you are actually basing your condemnation upon.

We should all thank BioWare for the wonderful work they've put into this series. Without them this game would've never happened! They didnt HAVE to make a sequal, but they did. Thanks for everything Bioware, thanks for giving us this wonderful game that we will spend countless hours on!

I approve this message.

[Ghrelt]

Bruno, your points are valid. It's your tone that's getting people's backs up. And for the record, I disagree with your opinion. But we're both entitled to our own points of view.

I am a proud Bioware fangirl, and shall remain so until they disappoint me. Which they haven't yet.

A mighty kudos to bioware fellow gamers!

[Sanguinerin]

I had a much longer and more thought-out response, but my apartment complex decided to send out an announcement (which severs our internet until we check a box saying that we read them). So, forgive me if this sounds rushed. I have class and homework to get back to but I wanted to say it anyway!

I loved NWN for 5-6 years. It was my favorite game ever until Origins. I played the campaign alone, with friends via LAN, or online with new people. I loved the roleplaying servers that people managed to create online and loved them! In fact, the lack of a multiplayer where I couldn't go and play with other people online in our own worlds created from the toolset was a huge drawback when I first heard about it not being available in Origins. However, I played DAO and loved it! I fell for the characters much more than in NWN, despite my strong love for Aribeth. The setting and story are definitely intersting.

I really enjoyed Mass Effect 1 and 2, as well. I normally don't go for space games but it was fun and I can't wait for 3! Unfortunately, I didn't play Baldur's Gate, KotOR, or Jade Empire but I plan to eventually!

As for Dragon Age II, I'm anxiously awaiting it this next week! It's the one game I'm buying for myself until at least August, when I can hopefully get a job. Last semester in college, unemployed, moving in with my parents after my lease runs out this summer... I don't have many funds for video games.

However, you guys at BioWare have kept the development process compelling! Some people say we know so little, and I think that only makes me want to play it more. I've seen developers say that we haven't seen enough of some characters to truly judge if we like them or not, but that lack of information is the appeal. I want to know more about them, and the setting, and the story, etc. In that, I'd say you guys have done a great job.

So yes, I am going to be thankful!
I hope that I enjoy DA2 as much as the other games I've played. I hope that I want to replay it all the time (especially since I won't be buying anything else for a while!). I still feel like I can say thank you now, before the game. Here's hoping that after I play it endlessly next week, I can say even more good things about it.

After all, next week is my spring break and I'm totally not working on my senior seminar research paper on my break over DA2.

Lol I a am not American so keep your assumptions about American free speech laws whatever to yourselves. I am simply saying BW is restricting my freedom to respond. Trolls are funny jumping to conclusions and taking their assumptions to be fact. Fact is I live in Scotland so get over it. That is one place the Yanks have not illegally invaded yet.

[hero3440]

Thank you Bioware for making great games I hope enjoy dragon age 2 as well.

And I'm telling you, you don't have a "freedom to respond" beyond what the Bioware devs graciously allow you.  The rest of your post is beneath commenting on.

I find it ammusing that you should make a comment about trolls....hmmmmm. Nobody said you couldn't post or anyone else for that matter. Simply be respectful and keep it civil. Why you have the need to post your dislikes about a company in a "Thank you Bioware" thread is beyond me and seems a little trollish.

Anyway ignoring the obvious person trying to make people angry, the point of this thread is to thank Bioware, so yeah cheers. Can't wait for the 11th.

[Seb Hanlon]

Cut out the squabbling and arguing about arguing. You don't need to argue with people who are being argumentative for the sake of it; let the mods deal with it.

[Stanley Woo]

WoolyJoe, cut it out. You're not helping.

Bruno Hslaw, please keep the real world politics out of it. I find it rather ironic that you, one of our longtime "conscientious objectors," are complaining about being singled out for your acerbic and highly negative tone. As someone familiar with you and your posting style, I will ask you to please stop being confrontational and let this political debate die down.
