The Best RPG’s Around

I decided to look into Bioware’s vision statement as they have made some of my favourite role playing games ever and they essentially laid the groundwork for future rpg’s with their classic titles such as Baldur’s Gate, Planescape: Torment, and Neverwinter Nights.

Their vision statement is as follows:

BioWare’s vision is to create, deliver, and evolve the most emotionally engaging games in the world.

I believe their vision statement is short, sweet, and fitting. Roleplaying games are all about feeling immersed and the critical component to that is to be emotionally engaged. BioWare does this by making you, the player, care about the story, the characters, and your decisions in their world. With their statement then they make it clear what their focus is and effectively what the secret is to their success. Achieving such a lofty goal though can be difficult, especially now a days, as a great deal of game companies have unfortunately traded in substance for pointless eye candy or have simply chosen to churn out another game title that is no different than the others out there. Instead by sticking to the most emotionally engaging games in the world BioWare sets themselves apart. Thus they deliver what they promise and they do it with flying colours as evidenced by their numerous critically acclaimed titles.
