Bioware History: Everything but BG. Which I've been meaning to play, but my computer keeps noping me because apparently it's quad core doesn't like it. I even like TOR! Then again, I'm easy to please. Though I started with Mass Effect and Dragon Age, and worked my way backwards, while waiting for content
Kotor is definitely my favorite, though.
What I liked:
1. Big, explorable areas that were absolutely beautiful. Filled with quests! I don't even mind repeating areas/quests or farming because I played WoW, and a few other MMOs for the better part of a decade. So I guess I'm rather 'desensitized' to it all.
2. Cullen. And the other companions/advisors, too. They felt real, and I could relate with them rather easily. Except Vivienne, she can DIAF. This is true for any bioware game, though. If they're consistent in one thing, I always hope it's this. The companions make the story for me, because without them... any game falls rather flat. Bioware excels at writing memorable characters, whether you hate them (Vivienne) or love them to death (Cullen, Alistair, Garrus.. etc)
3. The expansion on the lore, and finally telling me what the hell Flemeth is. I love the lore, and they added to it wonderfully.
Things I didn't like:
1. This story was the flattest out of any bioware game I've ever played. Hell, the story was good... until the ending. For me, it was really good and then face planted. I'm hoping DLC will fix this because I still have faith in Bioware... hoping they won't screw us over.
2. Give. Me. A. Damned. Mirror. So. I can. FIX MY DANG CHEEK BONES WITHOUT NEEDING TO RESTART THE PROLOGUE A MILLION TIMES. And if you're not going to do that, at least let me turn off the tutorials! That would save me 5 minutes of my life, and that adds up!
3. Tactical camera. I wasn't going to add this, but the newest patch is making me. While I find it easier to tell Dorian to move his butt out of the way of a high dragon's mouth (dragon rules, you know?) I would, in the very least, like it so I could center the camera on the character I switch to. I like to cycle through my characters, and get their relative positions. This made it easier for me to put barrier up, or an aoe. But whatever, I'll adapt.
