Why BioWare is special. (To Me)

So been sitting on this one for a while and given the recent news it seemed like a good time to post it.  

Now awhile ago I made a comment in a thread (I forget which one) that BioWare made stories like no one else in gaming.  Instantly someone said 'well, that's not true.'  

But in thinking about it, and in anylizing the problem, what I mean is that BioWare writes about families.  Or groups of people who would then become families.  And a sense of family, is something I really appreciate in fiction.  Whether it was SG-1, Amy, Rory, and the Eleventh Doctor, the crews of the Enterprise, and the list goes on.  Family is important for me to enjoy my fiction.  

And this is something the gaming industry really lacks.  Most gaming companies and protagonists are usually one in a game, and then they go off and do a bunch of missions in a game interacting with other characters only when barely neccessary.  There are a few examples these days where games have now had two major characters.  Like, the Last of Us, and Bioshock Infinite.  But, the games that have...diverse casts...that aren't BioWare games?  I can think of pretty much a single game.  The Witcher 3.  Geralt and his girls.  

But BioWare?  Every single game they have wonderful diverse casts who come together, often hating or disliking each other, and in the end they become like family to one another.  Even Mass Effect Andromeda, though its cast may have not been the 'strongest', the crew at the end...after facing adversity and challenges, came together to be a family in the end.  And that is why this game is special.  That is why BioWare is special.  

So, what say you BSN?
