Well bioware has shown how easily it is to get completely sold out and to stab your fans in the back, and bethesda has remade the same game since morrowind. Lets not forget how bethesda constantly releases products buggier than hell, and they had to retcon the ending to fallout 3 because it was so bad. I'd rather not see them together.

The publishing group? Sure, why not. Do I wish BioWare games would be more like Bethesda games? Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo



ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.....

I don't hate Bethesda. I did hate their take on Fallout, but Oblivion and Skyrim can be enjoyable. But they err way too far on the side of freedom for my tastes, whereas I want more focus on that in games. And BioWare just happens to have the perfect mix for me. You can call me crazy, but I don't think it is a good thing when your main quest is considered an afterthought by many players.

Maybe Bethesda and Valve. Combine Bethesda's scope with Valve's attention to detail. Granted, we'd probably see a game once every 25 years or so, but damn. What games they will be.

No, not after the fiasco with PR and the endings Bioware is going through. If they mix, the game that is spawned would have a horrible ending that makes the game do a weird 72 degree turn AND be as buggy as Fallout and Skyrim (pre-patch). So yeah... no.

I would support this. It seems highly unlikely but okay. The character development from Bioware and the open worlds from Bethesda would be utterly brilliant.

There's no reason to. Their differences make them uniquely interesting. Combining them would bring their faults all in one place, and that'd be disastrous.

Also, I don't think Bethesda is allowed to merger with anyone. That'd be Zenimax's call.

Anyone but EA and Activision would be good. Being a part of Zenimax would be good for them and for us because they let their developers take the time they need to deliver a great game.

Only so that Bioware got the chance to release finished games and not rushed out pieces of shit like ME3 and DA2.

I'd be happy if they were independent, and if escapist users learned how to make proper polls.

I would never hurt Bethesda like that. In my experience Bioware has a habit of making really good games except none of them are actually fun.

No. They make very different kind of games when it all comes down to it, and there would be more overall sacrifice in the dev teams to try and get a mix of each into the game, resulting in something very... odd...

Plus, that would mean they would likely use Bethesda's engines - which sorry, but... No. I don't want bugs and poor optimisation all throughout my games.

No I don't see much cross over there, the reasons I like bethesda games and bioware games may not actually work together to make a new game, plus diversity is great not every game has to include everthing

I would concur, if the SPIRIT of Bioware joined Bethesda. However, if the actual companies turned into an amorphous blob then Bethesda would be merely one of EA's many, many appendages.

And that would be terrifying.

There is no more BioWare. Time to face the reality. They have a maximum of a year or so before liquidation.

EA has not changed it's modus operandi in years, why would they stop now?
