Zloth: For current developers, I would say it's a tie between Owlcat and Larian. (You can start throwing stones and kink-shaming me now.) From our forum Will WoW do? I've been playing a lot of Shadowlands and that's an RPG.

They're damn cool RPGs that give me major BioWare vibes.Īlan Dexter: I have never played a BioWare RPG, so I've no idea how to replace it. You can even invest in the Social Enhancer augment that determines a character's personality type and unlocks unique dialogue options. It's easy to get caught in a bind that guns can't untangle, often forcing the player to pay close attention to dialogue, decipher intentions, or poke around computer terminals to nab info another way. Even with fancy arm blades and super strength, Jensen isn't a one-man-army like Commander Shepard. I love how often entire quests or conflicts can be solved with a silver tongue. As an augmented super-spy, Jensen is constantly trying to thread the needle between assertive, sensitive, and deceitful to get what he needs. Adam Jensen's relationships aren't as malleable as they are in Mass Effect, but conversations carry as much (if not more) weight in the story. Morgan Park: Both 2010s Deus Ex games are basically BioWare RPGs filtered through an immersive sim. That's an experience you won't soon forget.
Mass Effect is perhaps the hardest to replace, but if you like sci-fi that actually makes you think, that takes your characters in directions you couldn't possibly have predicted, and is very horny, play Nier: Automata. If you crave a classic fantasy setting, there are probably 20 great sidequests in The Witcher 3 you still haven't done even if you've played it before, while Divinity: Original Sin 2 has great character stories with a similarly playful tone to classic BioWare (and fare more interesting and nuanced choices). Because the truth is, we have better.ĭisco Elysium is the RPG to play if you want a modern Planescape Torment, a game that thrives on writing alone. Here at the end of 2020, I don't think it makes sense to pine for games that feel like BioWare RPGs. Over time, the shine has come off their games, while more thoughtful RPGs (like Obsidian's KotOR 2) have stuck with me. But they also built games that were largely light & dark in terms of morality, with simplistic paths through the story and writing that were serviceable more than memorable. BioWare was early to making RPGs with more "immersive" over-the-shoulder conversations, and quests rooted in character more than MacGuffins. Wes Fenlon: When I think about the era of 3D BioWare RPGs-Knights of the Old Republic through Mass Effect and Dragon Age-I think of games that, today, feel very basic. A sense that not only did my choices have consequences, but that I wasn't able to predict the outcomes, and sometimes they'd blow me away.
For me that's hitting some similar notes to what I enjoyed most about KOTOR, Baldur's Gate 2 and to some extent Mass Effect. That game's world and writing are so rich that I was enraptured by the minutiae, cared far more about decisions than I probably should have, and rarely got the outcome I expected. Rich Stanton: I found Disco Elysium slotting into that part of my brain which adores long and detailed NPC interactions and prevaricating over text boxes for an inordinate amount of time.
