Playing through the modern history of BioWare games has not been disappointing. My reasoning was to do research on BioWare's direction previous to their upcoming MMO Star Wars The Old Republic. I am very excited by the collective creativity of Drs Ray and Greg. Much like Mass Effect, Jade Empire combines a new combat system with a traditional RPG. Fusion is where its at in music and food these days. Glad to see BioWare blurring the lines between genres.
