Bioware That Was told stories WITH the player. Decisions and accomplishments mattered. But this pious waving of the "Artistic Integrity" flag is an excuse for swapping out what was a shared experience with "Telling the story TO you."
When I wanted somene to tell me a story, I read a book, watched a movie or TV show.
When I wanted somene to tell a story WITH me, I played D&D with my friends, and later got into games like those Bioware That Was used to make, where I had meaningful input to how things ended. And Bioware That Was made it's presence known during most of the game... and then, when it matter most, they threw it away and said "what you did before has no bearing on the story's outcome."
Is there any reason to even hope that Bioware will ever return to telling stories WITH us rather than TO us? That was what made them great, and with today's announcement, they've nailed the coffin shut.
BIoware That Was, RIP. You'll be missed.
Bioware That Was told stories WITH you, not TO you.
