Nothing is grey in JE more strictly speaking you follow a path and basically stick to that path, although, neither side of the paths were truly good or evil. The game was a fresh take on the western RPG in an Asian inspired world creating some of the most beautiful backgrounds and interesting way of interpreting the moral system. Again you make use of the choice and moral system BioWare loving features in their games. Borrowing heavily from Kung-Fu movies, Jade Empire features combat style now common in RPGS. The best part of the game is for the time of its release it incorporated a dynamic combat system. I believe the game released while I was in the middle of a break from gaming again (this time because work decided it and then WoW came along…). I recently stumbled on this game from a mom gaming group. Video from Youtube User: Machinima Trailer VaultĪn action-adventure cleverly disguised as an RPG. For now we’ll see if EA ever gives BioWare the green light for a KOTOR3 and if Microsoft makes the Xbox One backwards compatible with the original Xbox. Everything from the combat to the fetch quests was engaging enough to keep you wanting to play again and again. Although, this game is over 10 years old it still has remarkable replay value and a feel of nostalgia. We all know how things will turn out in the very distant future, but it was fun use of the moral system seeing how far you could get to the dark side or become one with the force.

I think what I found the most fun in this game, was “changing the lore” of the Star Wars universe. Taking place 4000 years before the events of the original Star Wars Trilogy, you are a small fish in a galactic sea of Jedi and Sith. During that time I didn’t even consider games a part of my life until my husband purchased a Xbox 360 and brought home Dragon Age: Origins. If you are a parent you’ll understand the zombie I became and thus my reason for taking a break. I will preface this by saying although I have gamed for a while, I took a sabbatical from gaming for two years or so while I was pregnant with my son and after he was born. These choices are what set the game up for several play through and has consequent in future content. They enable you to create a character you can identify with and tell your own story (so to speak), with choices in-game. The reason I love their games is due to their progressive nature. BioWare, listens to their fans and strives to create games based off of feedback from the fans.

Featuring women and LGBT characters as priorities in many of their games.

BioWare creates compelling games, displaying how progressive BioWare is. From the critically acclaimed Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 to the two huge franchises Mass Effect and Dragon Age. For me this developer has produced some of the best RPGs.

If you know anything about me from my twitter page, you know I’m a BioWare fan.
