BioWare vs. Bethesda: The Battle of the RPG Titans

Recommended Posts

The last month or so has seen our social lives utterly devastated by the release of Skyrim. And with Mass Effect 3 on the horizon, we can look forward to continuing to avoid our friends and loved ones when we finally stop playing in the snow with elves and move on to shooting/sleeping with aliens. It's probably a good thing that the release dates of Bethesda and BioWare's blockbusters never seem to overlap, but some rotten little part of me wishes they would be forced to go toe to toe in a knock-down, drag-out fight for the privilege of keeping me from getting anything done.

 

Once upon a time BioWare and Bethesda had a lot in common, but over the last decade or so the two premier Western RPG producers have drifted in such radically different directions that their games could probably be considered completely different species, or at least genres. Sure, we could just agree that different people like different things, and maybe some of us can even like both without any actual conflict of interest, but that's no fun. We'd much rather argue about who would win in a fight.

What a pointless f**king article!! Both Bioware and Bethesda have their own style of games. Yes, there have been some changes but for most of their existence both studios have more or less stuck to different approaches.

 

Gameplay (and combat in particular) in Bioware games has always been derived from DnD. Same with the stories and plots. Bioware games have always been plot heavy while Bethesda have created worlds specifically for emergent encounters.

I have played Skyrim for 14 hrs now, and NOT ONCE did any guard say that. And I have been to Riverwood, Solitude, Whiterun, and 2-3 more towns whose names I cant remember. The most repeated sentence in my case is the sweetroll one or the dont cause any fire accidents something.
