It's a constant leap frog scenario. Square Enix used to be king, but I don't see it as returning to any sort of stature any time soon. So it's between Bethesda and Bioware. Bioware has created some of the best games of all time, and so have Bethesda. I'm purely going on the fact that Bioware has made more good games than Bethesda. It's literally quantity over quality here, because their quality is equally matched.
They both have excellent standards. And I have no doubt that Bethesda will take the lead in my books when Skyrim comes out. But yeah, Enix, you don't stand a chance. The company has fallen into the realms of disappointment with me. All I do is forever long for them to return to what they used to do with a fresh new attitude. But no, they just make loads of run of the mill sci-fi high fantasy set in a unbelievable universe, littered with the most annoying characters I've ever seen in a game. And crap MMO's that just line this industry with fruitful failure stories.

Bioware in first place, then Bethesda, and Square Enix last, but only because I have never played one of their games.
But I don't think you can criticise any of these companies, looking at what they've achieved. Kudos to each of them.

Woah...
I gotta say, I'm a huge RPG fan so I have to stress one thing...
Square - better at JRPGs
Bethesda - better at open world RPGs
BioWare - better at on-rails (+side-quests) RPGs.
But overall, I'm more or JRPG fan, so out of personal taste, I choose SE.

taking their entire game libraries into consideration Square Enix has made the most games that I enjoy out of the three companies...I have room in my game collection for games from all of them though, they all make quality games.
well each of theese companys have diffrent methods for there games.
bioware have an emphasis on story (there typical stories include an epic quest to take down a a inposing enemy and gaining allies) and combat mechanics.
square enix stick with the traditional JRPG formula. But in my opinion they have WAY too many final fantasys.
and bethesda have the emphasis on open world gameplay where the player can engauge in any situation as the player would. And there storys always have a sence of mystery (eg at the start of fallout 3 when you leave the vault the player wants to find out the fate of james)

Honestly, my hat goes to Bethesda. Not only do they make incredible worlds for the player to explore, they're one of the few RPG developers that gives players the freedom to explore their worlds.
They have only two games under their name. Two good games, but they still need more to prove themselves.Jandipoo said:
Personally, I've never liked Bethesda that much, Square is going downhill with each game and I've lost every respect for Bioware after they made ME2 and Dragon Age 2. I'll just blame EA on that.
Bethesda everytime. The experience is great and the games are so deep, i still haven't found every little joke or Easter egg in Fallout 3 since it came out. Oblivion and Morrowind I haven't delved all the dungeons nor collected every amazing weapon.
Bethesda for life.

Neither, my favorite is Atlus known for the Shin Megami Tensei games.
Out of the those three options you gave. Bioware is my favorite.
