I always felt like they were horribly paced to what was going on. I hated all the micromanaging when some parts felt like an action RPG. They were great stories, but I felt like that was the only thing they really excelled in. KOTORs were my least favorite in this spectrum. Loved the story. Hated every other aspect.
Then I played Mass Effect. Much better, but still, too much going on behind the scenes. It was ridiculous for me, completely the opposite of my taste.
I feel like there is just too much micromanaging going on. I feel like all the games are too slowly paced where they shouldn't be. Things are too linear sometimes. Sometimes I felt like it tried to give you freedom, but it didn't give you any wanderlust to do so.
I recently beta tested SWTOR. Amazing MMO. My favorite Bioware game ever. Everything I hated about BW games were gone. But still, it felt like it was all about the leveling process...lots of loading screens, combat not particulalry innovative (what you're doing for the hours and hours you play), and when you hit top level it was like "um now what". I also felt like it wasn't community accommodating like Star Wars Galaxies was.
I don't know the whole micromanaging aspect of BW games have strayed me away from them. Even without Micromanaging I feel like they have severely lacked in important areas. Anybody else have thoughts, or the same thoughts? I expect flaming to this thread, but I do understand why people enjoy them, and that's great for them. I am just not a fan at all.
