I think that Bioreached Juggernaut status around ToB was released and NWN was on its way. Man, NWN had some serious design flaws but they have improved since then. Hopefully Obsidian will go the same route without the drop in quality.
I don't think you are a hater. Just an opinionated jackass, but then again aren't we all. Oh, Bioware didn't make it big til their fourth game, Volourn.
