I know there are plenty of people out there that would also say that Microsoft with Mass Effect was the first step to where BioWare is today because that is when they started to abandon their roots of Knights of the Old Republic style games and making games more action oriented with less RPG elements. Not Jade Empire? And KotOR itself was a lazy console port. Fair enough. I always hear people praising Jade Empire, for me it as a far more broken game then Andromeda was. I never played the console version of KotOR, but I thought any issues of that would have been through a third party developer that was a gun for hire to port it. |

Didn't Bio do the PC version themselves? Back in the day there was a lot of talk about how Demiurge did so much better with their PC port of ME1.
The main complaints were the gigantic interface elements, cramming WASD movement down our throats, and the lack of a top-down view. I don't know if the latter two are really consolization or not.

I remembered the history of the game incorrectly, it seems that the bad port was due to BioWare. Going back to verify I also found out the game was delayed, so I wonder since people keep saying BioWare games are "in trouble" because of a delay and its "all EA's fault" I wonder what excuses they would have for KotOR. |

Weren't most of those issues fixed? Been a while since I've played the PC version. |

I just thought the console was a port in the same vein of Mass Effect 1 to the PC where they had a third party studio do the work and it turns out it was in development for the Xbox the same time as the PC version. |

EA already ruined the company. Microsoft would just put them in the coffin. Cough Rare, Lionhead cough.
