## Key points

- BioWare’s best games still feel distinctive.
- Choices can shape relationships and survival.
- The article spans fantasy, sci-fi and Sonic.

## Summary

A feature argues that eight BioWare games remain worth playing because their distinctive ideas and storytelling have endured. It highlights the studio’s range, from party-based fantasy role-playing games to space adventures and a Sonic game, and says the less successful titles in its catalogue help show what made its strongest games stand out.

The examples in the article include Mass Effect 2, where neglected loyalty missions can cost squadmates their lives in the finale, and Dragon Age: Origins, with six different opening backgrounds and companions who react to the player’s decisions. It also points to Baldur’s Gate’s punishing early encounters, Sonic’s unexpected ending and a major twist in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. The supplied article text cuts off during its discussion of KOTOR, so it does not provide all eight selections.
