Placing Andromeda vs All Other BioWARE Games You Played

While it is true in a sense that KOTOR2 was by Obsidian, they developed it under the auspices of BWare.  In essence, BWare handed off all the programming resources of KOTOR1 to Obsidian to create KOTOR2 for LucasArts in a very short period of time.  KOTOR1 was released for the PC Nov. 2003, K2 Dec. 2004.  So my hypothesis is that most of the preliminary work had already been done by BWare, with Obsidian taking care of the details.  BWare wanted to get going on ME:1 which to me is KOTOR3, as they took many ideas from KOTOR (and other games) to create the ME universe.

My list:

1.  KOTOR I.  Plot a little superficial, but at least made sense.  Unparalleled cinematic production values.
2.  KOTOR II.  Plot for the first 2 thirds was great, then spectacularly fell apart.  Still, both these games provided a deeply immersive experience, which admittedly is highly subjective, to the extent I participated briefly but intensely in the restoration project to fix the last third of the game.
3.  KOTOR III/ME:1.  To me, ME:1 was KOTOR III without the benefit of the cinematic crossover production values probably instilled by LA.
4.  ME:2.  The highwater mark for the Trilogy.  While I've never experienced the same sense of immersion as the KOTORs in any game, this came close.  I enjoyed the characters/plot.
5.  ME:3.  This seemed an attempt to milk the franchise.  With the economy of recycling, all they had to do was figure out the ending--along with dropping some activities.  The problems with the ending eerily reminded me of the problems in KOTOR 2.
6.  ME:A.  The names have changed but the story is the same.  Mac said he wanted to recreate the "awe and wonder" he'd experienced while gaming in his youth.  Lofty goals, but it didn't work for me.  It's not a bad game, it just lacks imagination.  

Games I started but never finished, so not ranked.
7.  SWTOR -- played it for about an hour when it first came out as it was hyped as providing the same SP KOTOR experience though an MM.  All I remember is 100s of players and NPCs milling about and dying repeatedly before I could do anything.
8.  Jade Empire -- couldn't get into it.
9.  NWN -- couldn't get into it.
10 Baldur's Gate -- played it but can't remember it.
