This, exactly this. Bioware in its current state as judged by the games they put out would not recognize themselves if the company they were previously bumped into them today. In fact, the good doctors would no doubt have done a re-enactment of body snatcher pointing at who they are today in horror. I know I do.

Oh, and to Monk's point above about the story, so true. Gaming when it comes to story telling doesn't even count as being in its infancy, that would give it too much credit and suggest it's doing even as good a job at telling a story as silent movies did in the beginnings of cinema. When in reality most the stories in games are laugh out loud bad.

And in closing, I count myself among those who will never, not in a million years, ever buy a game EA publishes and tries to shove down my throat via Origin. I will, quite literally, quit playing PC Games before I'll ever buy anything affiliated to EA. Period. Full stop.
