Baldur’s Gate II: Throne of Bhaal (2001) – 88%.Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn (2000) – 95%.Here is a short list of titles from BioWare and their associated aggregate ratings from MetaCritic: Aside from the fact that BioWare won the Game Developer of the Year award from GamePro in 2008, they have several intellectual properties that have done exceptionally well, both commercially and critically. If that sub-title doesn’t immediately give you a warm, fuzzy feeling and simultaneously increase your expectations for the game ten-fold, then you need to crawl back underneath that rock you have been living under. You know, just to shove you over the edge.
In the meantime however, I decided to put together this list of reasons you should look forward to Dragon Age: Origins.
BioWare has put together a behemoth of unparalleled proportions, and my patented spidey sense tells me the blogger and gamer community is practically convulsing waiting for the wait (that hurt your head?) to be over. I am all a-titter (or should I say a-twitt – wait, that joke has been done to death) with the upcoming release of Dragon Age: Origins. Days.īREAKING : Dragon Age: Origins has gone gold. I didn’t think it would turn out to be well over 3,000 words.Įleven days left before DA:O comes out. Disclaimer: Apologies for the insane length of this piece.
