The first BioWare game that I actually played was Mass Effect 3. A friend of mine owned a copy, and out of curiosity, I borrowed it having known little to nothing of the franchise before then. My experience was not the most positive, not because of the ending or anything like that, but because it was clear that this was a continuing story, and I gave it back before completing it and simply bought ME1, then ME2 and so on, which eventually lead me to the Dragon Age series, and I've been hooked since.

My first Bioware game was Neverwinter Nights and I didn't really like it (I only played the SP campaign). Since then however I played every Bioware game released until now, Sonic and TOR excluded.

 

I liked KotOR and the special edition of Jade Empire, and when they announced Mass Effect I was hyped as hell. I bought an Xbox for this game. I ended up loving it and to this day it's probably my favourite Bioware game.

The Dragon Age series is probably my favourite series overall, though.

First Bioware game was Baldur's Gate. However, I was very young back then (Like 6), so the first game that really stuck with me was nwn1 Up untill this point it's still my fav ^^

[Melra]

Think it was Kotor, but back then I really didn't think about the developers. I just played any games I could get my hands on. First proper BW experience for me was DA:O

[mhmbaSR1]

KotOR, one of the best games of all time in my opinion. it was an awesome experience... sure wish bioware was still a solo studio

[NeonFlux117]

Baldurs Gate in 2000 it was my first BioWare game I bought and beaten, I was 10

 

But it was KOTOR that made bioware one my favorite developers. 

 

It was Mass Effect 2 that made bioware my favorite developer and "ascended" them to the level of Valve, Bungie and Rockstar. 

 

Mass Effect 3 was a fall from grace, albeit they're still what I would call  a good developer and ME3 was still a very good GAME (but not a good or even decent Mass Effect game), but they are no longer great. 

 

It will be interesting, if not comical, to see if BioWare can reclaim their former glory. 

 

I am pessimistic they can or ever will again. 

 

I once held BioWare with such greatness and put them on a pedestal. Their last three games (DA2, SWOTOR, ME3) have knocked them off the pedestal with a sledge hammer. 

 

But... Thus is common practice for Electronic Arts, take great developers like DICE and BioWare and make them release un-finished, highly causal, broken products, killing off hardcore fans and ushering in the path to appeal to casuals and get them green backs. 

 

 

Aaah BioWare, I remember when they where a great developer. 

 

Back in 2010, before the dark times, before the empire. 

 

 

The last BioWare game was Mass Effect 2, the rest is just......

 

 

 

Filler. 

[neon skink]

Watch a friend playing Neverwinter Nights back in the day, but it wasn't my kind of game.

 

Played the bejesus out of the excellent KOTOR, and later KOTOR II.

ME series is on a whole different level. Awsome.

[Derpy]

First Bioware experience = ME3 ending.

[JeffZero]

Some kid at my orphanage showed me a little bit of Baldur's Gate gameplay back in 2000. I was 12.

I thought it was one of the most positively trite things I'd ever seen. But then, I thought almost every WRPG looked that way back then. Didn't actually play a BioWare game until late 2010.

[DragonRacer]

Great minds think alike! I had this very same thread idea last week, but never got around to posting it. 

 

My first BioWare experience was seeing DA:O used in a game store. I love medieval fantasy stuff and dragons, and was on a big Elder Scrolls: Oblivion kick at the time, so I grabbed it to try it out.

 

Loved it. Like, enough to actually research the game developer to see what other games they had made - something I had never done before.

 

Saw Mass Effect was their other big series, so I tried that out, too, and was taken right back to my Star Trek childhood roots in some ways.

 

Been a BioWare fan ever since.

[JeffZero]

Yeah, my Trekkian roots are precisely what pulled me into Mass Effect. I still had to wait years to give it a whirl but I gladly bought an Xbox 360 exclusively for ME1 after playing it.

[xAmilli0n]

I'm almost positive I at least attempted to play Baulder's gate or one of those earlier Bioware games early on, the first real game I played by them (even if not knowing or caring that it was made by them) was KOTOR.  The game that got me to play many of their other games was ME2.

[DragonRacer]

Yeah, my Trekkian roots are precisely what pulled me into Mass Effect. I still had to wait years to give it a whirl but I gladly bought an Xbox 360 exclusively for ME1 after playing it.

 

My ME story is bass-ackwards because my primary system is PS3.

 

So, I played DA:O on PS3, but after I learned about ME being a trilogy, I avoided it for a long time because - at that time - only ME2 was available on PS3. You had to have a PC or XBox to play the first game, and I thought it would be awkward to jump into the middle of a trilogy.

 

But I loved DA:O soooooooooo muuuuuuuuuuuch and everyone said how good ME2 was, so I finally bit the bullet and bought it. Hook, line, and sinker they had me by afterwards. Preordered ME3 the instant you could. Enjoyed DA2 (also preordered) despite the general rage others had towards it. Then finally played ME3 (and also enjoyed it despite the rage others had towards it).

 

And I got tired of only knowing ME1 through the Wiki, so I bit the bullet and bought it for my laptop, having no idea if it would even run. It did, and so I finally experienced it. And a few months later, they announced the trilogy pack would come to PS3 (Murphy's Law on that one). LMAO I still bought that, though, just to have ME1 on PS3 disc and finally have a full/true trilogy playthrough, even though it meant I now have duplicate ME2 and ME3 discs.

 

And then I got so hooked to ME3MP that I bought it for my laptop... and just got an XBox 360 literally yesterday as an early birthday present (and, of course, a copy of ME3 for that, too, starting the multiplayer manifest over for a third time).

 

And still asking GameStop when I can finally preorder DA:I. For the PS4 that's coming to my house this week (it's a heck of a birthday this year, let me tell you). 

 

Really, at this point, I ought to have my paycheck direct deposit changed from my bank to BioWare, because that is where all of my money is going!

The Fox News opinion piece on Mass Effect 1.

 

 

 

Dragon Age : Origins is currently my favorite BioWare game. Although, Mass Effect 3 multiplayer is a close second and am hoping the next ME multiplayer has a 2v2 PvP mode that plays similarly to the boss battle in the Citadel DLC. Then, maybe,I may have a new favorite BW game.

[JeffZero]

Mine's a bit odd too, Dragon, although thankfully linear. My primary system is a PS3 as well but I always knew I would eventually need to play ME1. Moved in somewhere, met a friendly neighbor who let me borrow his 360, then fetched ME2 for PS3. Enjoyed the ever-loving hell out of it but my girlfriend at the time and I got tired of having negative impact due to lack of all but a choice few decisions from the first game so we bit the bullet and bought ourselves a 360.

To this day I still only use the thing for Mass Effect's three titles and Halo Anniversary and 4; I even picked up Dragon Age 1 and 2 for PS3 when I decided to finally check 'em out earlier this year, but it's gotten its money's worth from the several hundred space hours, so whatevs.

Baldur's Gate

 

Origin Systems had folded after releasing Ultima IX and I was looking for a new RPG. I had played SSI's Gold Box D&D series so BG caught my interest. I hadn't heard of Bioware before that.

[Dave of Canada]

Technically, it was Baldur's Gate. I didn't really get into the game, I was more of an Icewind Dale kind of guy myself and only got into the company when I snagged KOTOR and played it.

[FlyingSquirrel]

Mass Effect. I wanted something like Fallout 3, which wasn't what I got, lol. 

 

Similar story here, interestingly. I was vaguely aware of Mass Effect for a while and then start reading more about it after doing a Google search for "If you like Fallout 3 you will like..." and finding some people talking about it. I'm not sure if I still expected it to be similar when I bought it, but I was a sci-fi fan anyway so I figured it was worth a try.

[Dutchess]

Dragon Age: Origins. It was my first RPG as well, so I sucked at the combat and died countless times. DAO is still my favorite Bioware game as well.

[Cyonan]

First played Mass Effect 1 and have played every game released since then by BioWare.

 

I've since gone back and played KotoR and BG.

[Beerfish]

First game Baldurs Gate, started following a year or so before Baldurs Gate came out.  Baldurs Gate met all of my expectations. What a great game for a 1st big title of a company that was at least semi flying by the seat of its pants.

[SoulRebel_1979]

I still have my original 5 or 6 disc BG I purchased on release day from Walmart back in 1998.

I really need to do that soon.

 

Bought Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 and the Neverwinter Nights games over at GoG.com, but haven't gotten around to downloading/installing them yet. That inevitable Steam backlog usually grabs me first. Bother.
