Sorry guys, but Bio's stories are not just shit, their dialogue is also awful. Or have you forgotten the "I demand recompensation before I risk my life for some dude I just met. I so evul!"
The only Bioware game that I played that had actually good dialogue choices (and companion interaction) was DA2.
Even if you go back as far as BG2. Try playing the first dungeon and choosing options that are neither goody two shoes nor retarded evul. Good luck with that.
Bioware might be ok for goody two shoes players, but for more neutral or intelligent evil characters its usually mind-rape.
I know computer gaming's writing at its best can at most compete with pulp fantasy fiction, but Bioware is really no example of good writing even with this kind of competition. They're good at marketing and bribing hyping. And a certain vocal and fluent group of people like their CYOA, epic, "don't bother with gameplay" dating-sims. They're quite competent at those.
All their games dating back to Baldur's Gate have always greatly favored playing a good (very good) character by making you swim in good reputation points for anything you do because actually writting a multi aligned story is too complicated.
It's funny how in games with alignments, as soon as your reputation ended up too low for their liking you were instantly assaulted by overpowered squadrons of death taht came out of drawers.
The writing has always been generic and lazy job but at least they were able to write proper
banal generic shit that anyone remotely into fantasy could stand, because it's generic as fuck; their post BG2 games though show that there was a huge shift in writing direction, and I guess they lost more than a publisher when Black Isle went under, the drop between
banal generic BG2 and awful NWN is one of the fastest decline I have ever seen.
I guess after Gaider got some recognition he felt like he became too good for the "nerd crowd" and like a good little bitch started to act like a jock for revenge or something; and it's been getting pretty obvious with the way he rides social trends for popularity.
Too bad because he actually used to be an ok guy.
