The State of BioWare

But even for 2007 the side quest were still shit, people were criticizing them harshly expecially compared to what was done before, kotor did way better side quest on an older generation of consoles 4 years before, oblivion came in 2006 and had better side quest, the time excuse can only a extend to a certain degree because I founded them boring as fuck even in 2007. Now yeah they were criticized at the time of their release, I did not see someone on the forums defending the recycled envinronments of ME 1 or the textboxes of ME 2. My point was just that NOW people seems to have forgotten those flaws when they claim that these particular aspects were better done before.

Now I am not saying that MEA is stronger than ME 1 or ME 2 on ALL ASPECTS, in terms of main quest I prefer the first ME and third ME rather than MEA. What I am saying is IF the side quest were the elements that makes a mass effect game good or bad, then I don't see which mass effect were great because all of them had their fair share of good ones and bad ones.

My point is not to say that MEA is the same as the previous mass effect, it's the fact that people had argue that side activites were better done before like they have forgotten how awful the N7 mission were in ME 2, or the recycled envinronments of ME 1 and it's fetch quest. IF you take on every aspects and compare every positive to every negative, than yeah MEA might be less good than previous ME but that was not my point.

If the people told me that the main quest was better in older ME and that is the reason why they don't like MEA, I would have understood even if there is a chance I would disagree. But the one who claims that the filler quests of previous ME were great and that is the reason MEA is bad to them, that is something completely different.
