I'd have to say Jade Empire.
The limited companion options, character modification options, cliched plot, and easy button mashing gameplay just did not appeal to me.
Jade Empire isn't a bad game but KOTOR, Mass Effect, Baldur's Gate 2, and Dragon Age trounce it.

Whoa, risky topic to create on a Bioware Social site...



Uhm, i think i'll just back out (JE didn't even look good *runs*)

[Borschtbeet]

I don't think Bioware minds fair criticism.

Well as I've been saying to those around me who ask me about DA...Bioware keeps raising the bar on role playing games, and at this point is in competition with only itself. In my eyes, it's completely in a league of it's own (I'm an Edmontonian, so I loved Bioware on that principle alone, but they still blew me away). So I'd have to agree for a least favourite (but not unloved) game would be Jade Empire.

That being said, Jade Empire was the game that drew me back into the gaming world - I completely fell in love with it, and it was the first game I actually finished on my own since rejoining the gaming world as an adult haha So it has a very special place in my heart. But recently I went to play it again (after I finished ME actually)...and I was so saddened because it just couldn't hold my interest. ME blew me away so much that it was hard to go back to what was previously my favourite little gems. So...they ruined their own games haha

Jade Empire is my least favourite as well.



The companion system was terrible, as the companions were all essentially equivalent, and all essentially useless. A half-eaten onion sandwich would have made a more effective sidekick. Then there was Golem Form. I think that something has gone badly wrong somewhere when you can press a button to two-shot the final boss.



There were a few good things about the game though. Some of the dialogue did make me laugh ("if you can stage a combat related accident for Gao, like falling down a flight of punches...") and I did enjoy the tactical approach of controlling powerup drops through harmonic combos. Plus, Bioware has gone on to make much better games since then, so I would say that the mistakes of JE have been learned from wisely.

I loved Jade Empire too.  Ahh, Sky.  The only thing is I wished it had been longer.

Mass Effect. Too dumbed down.

[OPlatypusPrime]

I have only played Mass Effect and Dragon Age, but Mass Effect may have been the worst game I have ever played.

[OPlatypusPrime]

Because Dragon Age actually looked good, and I rented it before I bought it

[Lord Grimnar_AzurieL]

having played all bioware games for PC exept for JE (i think) i would have to say that KOTOR 2 is by far the worst of the games that have been released. but as everyone knows it was an unfinished unpolished game so what do u expect.

[Borschtbeet]

KOTOR II was developed by Obsidian AKA Bioware-lite.

Ehh, I guess I would also say Jade Empire. Not saying it was a bad game, by any means. It was a good game. For some reason though, it seemed to lack that certain something for me that pushes a game from "Good" to "Great."

Dragon Age: Origins.



I didn't buy into the whole Grey Warden thing.



Good to see it worked for many others, but it didn't work for me.

[Stagmar]

NWN for me. I didn't like story or most of the characters at all and it seemed like they purposely crippled the single player to focus on the multiplayer. I did not and still do not have any interest in a multiplayer rpg.

[The Mythical Magician]

Jade Empire, I like that they made a martial arts game and got influence from awesome fighters like Bruce Lee but seriously the characters were lacking something in the game and I never gotten into the characters.

[MerinTB]

Neverwinter Nights

[jadetempest]

I didn't enjoy NWN that much; I don't think I ever finished in, in fact. It was fun but I missed the party banter and character interaction.



Jade Empire took a risk with story setting and that really appealed to my half-Chinese nature! I agree the companion system wasn't as good, but I did like some of the characters such as Silk Fox and Dawn Star. And the big guy - he was amazing.

[Moodath]

Does Mass Effect Galaxy count?



If not, NWN.

[Rubbish Hero]

Mass Effect, I felt the characters didn't emote very well (or enough depending on how you want to look at it) and the odd pacing and driving area's, kinda felt like I was doing the same level over and over again, very monotonous.

[Ponce de Leon]

Story-wise, NWN OC was the worst. Got quite better with expansions, at least for me.

That's interesting. Since that's much like I felt playing Dragon Age: Origins. "Oh look, another cave looking similar to the last one - and another bunch of darkspawn - time for more hack and slash."

I found Mass Effect to be fast-paced, intense, and genuinely rewarding - both combat and story-wise.

But hey, it is good that we have diversity. It would be boring if everyone liked the same stuff.
