One of my favourite moments occurs in Tien's Landing.

Repeatedly talking to the chef and his assistant behind the teahouse... comedy classic XD

I quite enjoyed it but I was also disappointed. It seemed to me that a lot of stuff was cut.

It is the best Bioware game thus far.

Err....  I did play it on the xbox and PC and completed it as well.   But the best?   I'm guessing you missed the Baldur's gate 2 train. 

No, I didn't miss either one of the BG games. The only memorable thing in BG was Viconia.

It was the game I popped my BioWare cherry on. It's one of my favorite games of all time. I still have hope for a sequel.

I adored Jade Empire, especially the music and scenery. I could find a pretty spot and just listen to the music for ages. I liked Sky, Silk Fox, Wild Flower, Hen Pecked Hou, and Dawn Flower, especially. Was the first RPG I tried on the Xbox first, too, but I recently picked it up on Steam.



It did feel like a lot was cut from the NPC interacts.



Also, Sir Roderick von Fontlebottom the Magnificent Bastard, voice by John Cleese. How can you not love that?

I bought Jade Empire as soon as it was available for the PC. I've gone through it... About 5 or so times now? It's a fantastic game, but unfortunately, very short.

Ya I know how you feel, but the size gives it good replay value.

I have played JE several times. I am waiting for JE2. (HINT BW) lol

Did I play Jade Empire. Hmm... ~Clears throat~

Yeah. Aside from the Baldur's Gate series it's my most played Bioware game. I can't count the number of times I've finished it, but it's surely somewhere past twenty. At the time it was released I was a obsessed with it. I was extremely prolific on the forums (under a now discarded identity), and discussed every aspect of it for months. I bought the soundtrack, the Wu mousepad, and later on, the PC version. I skipped that lithograph though. Too expensive for me at the time.

Jade Empire wasn't BioWare's best showing. Character interaction and plot were a step down from KotOR and the combat system was fun but simplistic for anyone experienced with action games. Still, there were some great moments. Some hilarious, others touching, and more than a few crowning moments of awesome... especially if you went Closed Fist.

The twist was predictable, but I still enjoyed JE's plot. I was also glad to see a return to Throne of Bhaal's epilogue approach for character endings. This is quickly becoming a rambling mess so I'll end here by saying it's a personal favorite, even though all logic dictates it shouldn't be.

I was a little disappointed by it, as I have hoped for more Beat'n'Up combat than 3 times 'A', but I still loved it.

It was possible to mix that up a bit by switching styles after a hit or two to form a long chain combo. JE combat was drearily simplistic even then, but it spiced up combat a bit. I do hope any sequel improves that drastically though. At least give us three buttons to alternate. >.<

The combat was pretty simplistic, but I was fond of it nonetheless. There were predictable aspects of JE, and as others have said, it wasn't as strong as Bioware's other titles in terms of interaction and story, but... Dunno, I just really, really, really enjoy it each time I play. It's got a lot of charm and soul, despite its faults. I also loved how it was a fantasy setting with a Chinese/far East Asian flare, rather than a European-influenced one, as most settings are.

I was one of those people who had to create an Open Palm character and a Closed Fist character and accomplish every romance available. I'm somewhat scared to see how many characters I end up playing as on Dragon Age.

You don't have to sell me on that.  I agree on all those points. Jade Empire had a lot of style and was great fun despite its shortcomings. Like I wrote in my post on the second page, I was very into it at the time. It'll be awhile before I play it again, but inevitably I will.

     Theres something about Jade Empire that was very fun. In all its simplicity it was very addictive.

Like Tetris or Solitare (or however you spell it) Simplicity can be fun... Or boring

EXACTLY! but it was also clever..I think thats what lead to my addiction to it. The romance ptions were a semi turn off though because they happen so easily and so quickly it was too fake.

[DalishRanger]

Heh, wasn't trying to convince anyone... Was just reaffirming what you said. 

While the JE romances weren't the most in-depth ones Bioware's done, I liked them more than both NWNs (yeah, I know Obsidian did NWN2) and I actually enjoyed the Dawn Star romance. I'm a bit of a sucker for "best friends become lovers" trope at times, though.

I think JE was a brilliant game. I still have to try it on the PC -rhino style!

[FerretGirl]

Another great game by Bioware. I only wish for some more character development if they ever make a Jade Empire 2.

[Hecate_13]

I love this game. The setting is original, the design is beautiful, the music is mindblowing... not even the gameplay, which was the main complain IIRC, was so bad for me. However, I wasn't thrilled by the idea of having just one member in my party besides my PC, and the interaction between companions was pretty limited. But those are only minor annoyances; the story still manages to touch me and some moments are frankly unforgettable (Greater Southern Forest, anyone?).



It may not be Bioware's best game, but it's a very personal game for me. It made me discover Bioware's talent for storytelling all over again, and it took me by surprise. I don't know if they'll make a sequel, but if they do I'll be very happy.

[bioware_fan]

I'd love to play the sequel.

[Anacronian Stryx]

I played it, Liked many of the things in the game like the story was great and the music ..but i never ever got used to the flying machines.

[cpip]

I enjoyed it a great deal. I even enjoyed the little Dragonfly minigames; they were a bit silly, but they were fun to play as occasional breaks from the game.

[Critical Miss]

Loved JE and it's old world oriental setting.
