I am trying to get a hang on the purpose of the thread. Seems anathema to the thread name ("I love Bioware" <> "Bioware is Cliche' Central").

With that having been said, and given "recent" releases, I would have to say "I Loved Bioware. Currently they are in the dog house and better be thinking about hocking their dog dish for a really big rock."

This isn't limited to bioware. This is the age old story of a hero that pretty much every book/story/movie in the history of the world follows. It even has a name - Monomyth. Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, the Matrix, freaking transformers the movie all follow this formula. More info here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monomyth

They [BioWare] are still the best at making games that seem to correspond to that clich&#233;, it's surely why they're being pointed at. We could also use another clich&#233; and link another company to it, for example linking EA to making and publishing boring games, that's a good clich&#233; for them.

I was going to mention this myself when I saw the post. There is a really good book, "Hero with a Thousand Faces" that is well worth reading. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hero_with_a_Thousand_Faces
