Bioware

For those of you who haven't played any of BioWare's seminal RPG series -- Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Knights of the Old Republic, and its MMO counterpart Star Wars: The Old Republic -- one thing that stands out is your ability to form meaningful relationships with the characters you interact with most.

There's an easy to follow path in terms of Bioware RPG's, and it goes like this: Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate 2, Neverwinter Nights, Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire, Mass Effect, Dragon Age Origins.

I've been around a long time, and I've played a lot of tabletop RPGs over the years.

Yes.

Many scattered reports from Anthem players suggest that if you're playing BioWare's latest loot shooter on consoles, maybe you should take a pause on that.
