Well, new BioWare franchises, same characters and plot points. I wonder if you'll start off as a prodigy (or at least talented person) with a male and a female "normal human" in your party that joins an elite group operating above the law to save the world?

A... steam punk RPG? its kinda like fantasy, kinda like science fiction, but not...
Maybe redo Arcanum?
THIS IS GENIUS ! further deep thinking: why not doing Arcanum 2 then 3 then 4 then 5 ?
id like to see a steam punk or cyber punk style rpg or maybe some other form of alternate past/future style rpg or maybe throw it all together in a time travel/alternate dimension rpg like chrono cross/chrono trigger
there's not enough of these games... your right! and mostly because gaming companies are afraid of doing something new. so they regurgitate they're games with sequels lol.

I'm not surprised. It's not like Bioware is proving to be good at making Fantasy RPGs anymore.

Or at least, having the people who would be good with making Fantasy RPGs on the Fantasy RPG projects.

Example:

Maybe it's because the heads of Bioware aren't the same as "yesterday"...

But my favorite genres are sci-fi and fantasy! At least make Jade Empire 2 before you seriously consider switching to other genres.

meh cops or spies with choice based actions that affect their morality. Yeah that hasn't been done at all. I'm all for exploring new genres, but I play games for the escapism, and there's nothing wrong with fantasy/sci-fi. Just sounds like the investors are getting antsy to me, and Bioware's tossing ideas.

Whatever they make, will be 'streamlined to be even more accessible to the fans and when you press a button something awesome will happen! Twice!'.

Screw Bioware, they're cutting to many corners in the name of a quicker buck. And the corners they cut are all from the RPG-part of the equation.
My sentiments exactly

A Bioware cop drama, or a detective story would be utterly awesome. I can never get enough of that style, to be quite honest.

Seriously, Bioware meets The Wire. Make it happen.

Bioware Police Quest. Make it so.
Hell, Sierra isn't doing anything with their classic properties. Farm them out. Bethesda gets King's Quest, Telltale can do a Space Quest, maybe Obsidian Laura Bow? I'm running dry here.

Phew, good thing a great big 'cop drama' RPG didn't come out last week to make it look like Bioware's not full of the most original folks on the planet!

Yay Bioware! Become a generic FPS churning studio, because the market doesn't have enough of those!

Seriously, am I the only one who hears "broaden the appeal" as a bad thing?

They're already moving away from the RPG itself. An entry that's not scifi or fantasy, at least, can make an early determination for me in regards to a purchase (as in, not making one).

Yes Bioware is stepping away from Fantasy and Sci Fi and is proud to announce it's latest Law Enforcement FPS/RPG L.A. Noire... what? What are you saying? They already made that game?! Why didn't anyone tell me this before I announced it?! Goddamnit we can't have another one of these things after what happened with DA2! How am I supposed to sell this game now? What do you mean Improvise?!

Uhm... it's latest Law Enforcement FPS/RPG Chicago Noire.

A spy game by Bioware would be awesome!

I would like to Bioware create a nice FPS to, that would be amusing.
I dont think they intend to make a diffrent TYPE of game, simply the same type of bioware game with a different setting.

this is a pretty redundant argument though. i feel like nothing needs to ever be said about simplifying games ever. i think its just a fact of life now. unfortunately.

LA Noire was already made, guys, you don't need to make a cop drama. Come on, Bioware, these's a criminal lack of good fantasy and sci-fi games out there as it is.

How many people actually know that Bioware even made a Sonic RPG? It's just... wth?

The funny part is I've heard it's actually decent, even if it was reviewed as their worst game ever. (And it's still a 74 on Metacritic)

And I know people that would think of Jade Empire first. Possibly. Doubtfully. But possibly.
