See, this is why I can only laugh at people who will to all honesty argue that Biowares recent games are just as good as anything they did before.
Didn't say that. Just pointed out that traditional RPG's are not necessarily better than the new style in any way. A majority of Bioware fans use KotoR as the standard, so I used that as an example. And Baldur's Gate games are not of the standard Bioware quality, they're better. And that was the mistake on my part. I was assuming that you were one of the many that claim that KotoR is the best and deepest game Bioware has ever created.

Baldurs Gate. Ring a bell? Probably does.
Fuck yeah it does. Baldur's Gate > Everything else Bioware has made.

And you will probably dismiss it as outdated, boring, bland, whatever, even though your only experience with the game is 2 minutes of gameplay on youtube, after which you said OH MY GOD MY EYES IT LOOKS SO SHITTY AND COMPLICATED.
Read above and don't be so hasty to judge me.

but its still miles better than any other Bioware game.
You are correct. So much fun to play.

I didnt like KOTOR though, not a big fan of the Star Wars universe tbh, and I did like Mass Effect 2. As a stroll-down-easy-street shooter with occasional RPG elements, that is.
Depends on what you believe is the definition of RPG, but all right. What you believe it to be is irrelevant, so I won't go into that.

But im gonna have to say it, complaining about shallow characters and lackluster story while sporting a Garrus avatar is laughable.
Stop for a moment and use your brain just this once. Garrus is a shallow character and I never claimed the opposite. The only fucking reason I have him as my goddamn avatar is because I already had the name SpaceBat and one of those awful critical miss comics gave me the idea to put Garrus up as my avatar.
You misunderstood what I meant to say, apparently. I never meant to use the Mass Effect series as the standard for deep story and characters. This is just something you, for whatever reason, incorrectly interpreted. What I meant to say is that while it doesn't have complex characters and whatnot, it isn't a level of quality lower than what they usually release as many believe IMO.

As is the "DEY ONLY MAD ONE BAD GAEM!" argument. Dude, the studio has been pumping out shit like "We want CODs audience" for over a year now. Im not gonna judge CODs audience or Bioware on that statement, but if you cant see why people are angry at them either you have been living under a rock this last year, or you are in denial.
Yes, they've been spouting that shit for a while now, but I still refuse to judge them based on those comments alone. If they release another shitty (Singleplayer-based) game like DA2 because of it, THEN I'll complain and lose trust.
My point in the beginning wasn't that they were ALWAYS dishing out games of this quality, but that the quality of their games has stayed the same for a very, very long time (Since NWN). They made a single spectacular series, the rest was just good.
