Rank all BioWare games

[Vic]

Do it niggers.

I'm finishing up DA:O and considering what to play next.

 

[Hammer Of The Heretics]

They're all pretty rank these days.

 

[Blutwurstritter]

MDK 2 is major fun.

 

[VerSacrum]

Release order.

 

[Humanophage]

1. Baldur's Gate 1 +Add-Ons (not that important)
2. Baldur's Gate 2 (add-on is subpar)
...
3. Neverwinter Nights 1 + Add-Ons (very important)
...
4. KOTOR 1
5. Baldur's Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal
...
6. Dragon Age: Origins
7. Jade Empire
...
whatever

I'd swap DA:O and NWN but otherwise a pretty solid list.

I don't recommend anything released after DAO.

 

[Disciple]

BG > BG II > KotOR > NWN1 > DA:O

No expansions or mods considered.

 

[Arbiter]

I'd swap DA:O and NWN but otherwise a pretty solid list.

You forgot Shattered Steel and MDK2.

 

[Camel]

You forgot Shattered Steel and MDK.

The list probably mentions only RPGs. I think ME3 should be in D-tier with JE.

Never played them.

That's an edgy codex poll. I mean edgy codexers voted accordingly.

 

[9ted6]

S: None
A: BG1 + BG2, ME1*, DA:O*
B: NWN, KOTOR
C: ME2
D: ME3, DA2, Jade Empire
F: Everything else they've made or are going to make
*Less replayable than BG1/2, especially ME1, might drop a letter grade with subsequent playthroughs.

 

[Vic]

mhh kotor and dao on the same level.......

 

[jackofshadows]

Finish DA2 and DA:I first, nigger.

 

[luj1]

1. BG1/BG2
2. NWN
3. KOTOR
4. who gives a shit
5. who gives a shit

Release order.

I had good experience playing Mass Effect 2 before ME1. The Mass Effect 2 plot is basically an interlude between ME1 and ME3, and many seem to be annoyed by that. By playing ME2 first such disappointment is avoided, and on its own I think it's just as good as the other two.

 

[Cryomancer]

1. BG2 and 1 - Masterpiece
2. NWN1 - Amazing mainly with mods
3. SW:Kotor
4. DA:O
5. Jade Empire
6. Ass effect 1
7. Ass effect 2
8. Everything else is shit.

 

[NecroLord]

Here's what I like:
Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 (and TOB), Neverwinter Nights, Kotor, Dragon Age:Origins, MDK2 (not an RPG, you said games).
That's about it.

 

[buffalo bill]

I rank them in last place

 

[Nifft Batuff]

The only one that I found vaguely interesting was Mass Effect.

 

[processdaemon]

I think I'd give DA2 and ME3 E tier but that's really just splitting hairs, this is a very fair ranking

 

[Martyr]

while I think that none of them are particularly good, there's some of them that I enjoyed nonetheless:

Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 are good. KOTOR was a Star Wars fanboys dream come true, but the game itself isn't that great.
Mass Effect was somewhat nice. I liked exploration in the huge levels of ME: Andromeda.
in Jade Empire I loved the setting and in NWN I loved the atmosphere. DA2 reminded me of NWN and I liked the story.
Dragon Age: Origin was objectively better than DA2, but I still have PTSD from the deep roads.
Mass Effect 2 was abysmal and I stopped playing ME3 after 20 minutes.

TL;DR:

BG1 > BG2 > DA:O > NWN > SW:KOTOR > ME/ ME:A/ DA2/ Jade Empire >>>>>>>>>>> ME2
the rest I didn't play.
