Line 1: {{creator}} [[File:~~bioware-logo_001_281~~BioWare 2018.~~jpg~~svg\|~~frame~~thumb]] '''BioWare''' is an Edmonton, Alberta-based video game developer known for making [[Western RPG\|Western RPGs]]. Formed in 1995 by three doctors<ref>[[Artifact Title\|hence the name "BioWare"]]; their first products were patient simulation software</ref>, they originally did mostly [[Licensed Game\|Licensed Games]] but recently they've been creating their own universes. Line 29: * ''[[Star Wars: The Old Republic]]'' (December 20, 2011) * ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'' (2012) * ''[[Command & Conquer: Generals]] 2'' (~~to be released 2013~~Cancelled) * ''[[Dragon Age: Inquisition]]'' (October 7, 2014) * ''[[Mass Effect: Andromeda]]'' (2017) * ''[[Anthem (video game)\|Anthem]]'' (2019) * ''[[Mass Effect Legendary Edition]]'' (2021) ---- Line 36 ⟶ 39: This being said, worldwide popularity, influence and acclaiming of BioWare games once again proves to the world the fact which is well-known in our community: [[Tropes Are Tools]]. ~~----~~ {{tropelist\|List of tropes persistent in BioWare [[RPG]]s:}} Line 43 ⟶ 46: * [[Anti-Hero]]: Shepard, Hawke, and the Grey Warden stand out the most. * [[Anti-Grinding]]: This doesn't mean there isn't pointless combat (Far from it), just that it has no reward and appears in fixed places. * [[Astroturf]]: An employee of BioWare [http://techcrunch.com/2011/03/15/dragon-age-ii-metacritic-user-reviews-padded-by-bioware-employees/ went to] the ''[[Dragon Age II]]'' Metacritic page and gave the game a 10.] While this is ''not'' an example of astroturfing (EA described it as the equivalent of voting for yourself in an election), it did inspire a case of ''astroturfing astroturfing'', where fans of ''[[The Witcher]]'' went on ''The Witcher 2''{{'}}s Metacritic page, gave the game of zero, and [[Paper-Thin Disguise\|pretended to be]] BioWare employees.{{verify\|reason-=From the description given, this sounds like the exact opposite of astroturfing.}} * [[Badass]]: Seriously, name one character from the games who doesn't fit into any badass subtrope. ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' is an excellent example, since your mission is to recruit a team of [[Badass]]. * [[Battle Couple]]: The PC and his/her love interest.
