Smith says his own first RPG love was Ultima 7, followed by Baldur's Gate, and then BG2, which superseded the rest.
Another Ultima fan. They did a great job with making the game. I am always surprised at the quality each time I play.
- At this point this is becoming a running gag.
  OF COURSE ULITMA VII WAS AMAZING. Hum specially with Serpent isle add on :)
  Hi Hairybro o/
@stopthatgirl7 they surpassed every possible expectation I could have. I loved every Bioware game I ever played but this is on another level.
- I feel like BioWare’s got to be sweating even more over Dreadwolf. Larian upper the bar - a bar BioWare first established - and given the last games, BioWare might not be able to clear it.
  
  BioWare doesn’t exist. It’s an EA branding exercise. It’s not the same studio — or even a pale imitation of the original. It. Is. No. More. In every way that matters. RIP.
  
  BioWare is a dying studio, every few years they either have lead staff leave or they announce major production problems.
  They will either shut down or just be a brand for another new studio soon.
  
  I loved dragon age so much I replayed origins and 2 like ten times but I still haven't been able to finish inquisition 😔 Idk if I'm getting dreadwolf at all
Wait, did he really specify “90’s” BioWare? That sounds like an unintentional dig.
