Yes because if a hundred people, get together and agree on something, it must be right.
I find the bold part particuarly funny, because everyone is biased, be it you, Volourn, me, or the high paid game journalist over at some such magazine. Everyone has there own set of likes and dislikes which they are going to apply to the game they are playing.
This comment is just a joke. What the hell is a serious RPG player? Someones choice of RPG makes their opinion worth less then yours? That is a statement that would make most people question the value of your judgement.
I doubt it. But it could be financially successful and not match up to the expectations of some git in EA marketing section. That's a bigger worry. But that was Biowares mistake given EA's record of killing all creativity.
EA has actually got a lot better in recent times. Activision is the new bad guy.
If we are going to judge games quality on sales then ME or NWN are the best selling western RPGs. Reviews point pretty much the same way(With everything from Bio and Obsidian being more 'critically acclaimed' then TW.). What you have is an opinion, no more or less valid then anyone elses.
