Bio bashing never comes out of fashion. And those pricks who do it never cease to amaze me in their stupidity either, as they're always the first ones playing a new Bio title at day one.

Other than that, Dragon Age will be awesome. Please start whining now.

Bio are responsible for one of the finest isometric engines to date...
I could've sworn we were discussing games developed, not what engines each company created. Silly to judge a developer based on an engine they made,

And I think it's even more silly to ignore this fact when you want to assess and jugde the work and influence of the two companies as a whole. Things like creating an engine where all the main titles for a significant period of time where based is something Bio should be fully be given credit for. Maybe when Beth will have V.A.T.S. still in use by other developers in about ten years time they'll deserve to be mentioned next to Bio.

games like Planescape Torment probably could've used some other iso engine that was out there. Hell, if a few of those games had chosen a different engine we might not have had such pathfinding headaches and other nuissances.

Have that other imaginary engine of yours ever been used you wouldn't only have to complain about "pathfinding headaches and other nuissances" but for much more than that. So you and the rest just stfu, bow your head, and be grateful.

Again, we've been talking about the games released between the two (at least I have since I brought up the whole comparison in the first place). Keep going on about the IE engine and influences, have fun. No really.

And there you go with it some more.

Here, maybe bold will help since you seem to have some comprehension problem: I'm comparing them on the basis of good/bad games they're responsible for, which would make them basically even.
