Bioware glitches rant

All games are flawed when new but Bioware is usually good with new games until MEA came out.

Same, though at launch I had save load problems that lost some progress, but not enough to not finish the game. I don't know what I would have done if I had 20 hrs in or something and I lost my progress.

you 'd propably rant and quit the game and that would be justified. game breaking bugs are the worst that can happen.

Bio has had occasional gamebreakers. At launch NWN had a well-known issue at about the midpoint of the game which would leave some players unable to advance. I don't know what the percentages were.

My favorite glitch was probably falling through the geometry on the ME3 Citadel.

I personally find open world style games have a lot more problems then others because the games are so vast and take dozens of hours to complete so it is a near impossible task to find all the problems. The facial issues did surprise me with Andromeda, but a few secondary quests being problematic (which was my only real issue) didn't. Heck playing Skyrim I couldn't leave the tutorial area at launch because I would fall through the ground and it would autosave in a way that it saved after I started to fall.

Frankly Mass Effect 2 still has the most aggravating issue that I have in any BioWare game with the clipping issue which still exists in the game. Unless you are constantly saving if you take a turn a little too tight you could be stuck restarting the entire level. Overall I find BioWare games to have less issues then the majority.

The only consistent glitch I've ever faced is ME2's lip-sync problem. Oh, and the never ending loading screens of ME1, but after a while those seemed less like glitches and more like a Load-Screen Russian Roulette game that was programmed in.

I will say that MEA is the first game I've ever had a character stuck in the T-pose though. That was hilarious and went away when I went back onto the Tempest.

The funny thing is, the devs behind that DLC had a hand in making Andromeda LOL.

Because people keep buying their minimum effort junkware. And even worse, people keep pre-ordering it.

Those who claim to not run into bugs and glitches in BioWare games are living in bubbles of ignorance and denial, and need to wake up to their reality.

You weren't trying hard enough.

I'm curious what OP means by flawed. There's various ways to look at it. Flawed as in bugs? Flawed as in just bad? Flawed as in questionable designs? I'd also say everything is flawed cause nothing is perfect.

If by bugs, that's every game out there, however the buggier a game is the more it is known, I'd also keep in mind FB3 is notorious for bugs and errors and that's what Biowares latest games run off of, plus they're still learning from it. As someone who's actually very tolerant of bugs I will say even with DA:I and ME:A probably being the buggiest games they've made, I've played much worse. They're still very noticeable, especially if you actively look for them.

If flawed by being "bad", that's debatable to eternity and one I'll just leave for everyone else to play with.

Design wise I'm not surprised since they've been doing various flawed choices since ME2/DA2 were a thing (some would argue even before). Open world isn't something they're good at, trying a new character creator with face scans is fixing some other wasn't broken, and the list could go on and on when it comes to them experimenting on design choices.

Did anyone get the MEA permadeath bug?
Jaal died in a Havarl battle and did not revive. Also, he was stuck dead under the ground. I fast travelled to camp, he didn't revive, dragged his dead body under the landscape all over the map, he didn't revive. Battled other enemies with him still lying there dead under the floor.

Finally reloaded a save and fought the battle without letting him die.

You have your opinion, I have mine ... Why would I accept your opinion and deny mine, when there are absolutely no evidences in my gameplay of what you say.

For example I am about to finish MEA for the 3rd time, that's more than 200 h of play, and I have experienced only one game crash ... far from a trash ... perhaps you should configure your game and your pc otherwise, or perhaps you have just bad luck.
