October 11, 200520 yr Nope, but it IS set in a setting rather similar to another one of their games As for the count at the end of the manual, those include those that work at the publisher as well. I highly doubt that Bioware had 200+ people working on it, given that they have multiple projects on the go. At its peak JE had 70 from Bioware. Edited October 11, 200520 yr by alanschu
October 11, 200520 yr Doesn't matter which one you get, it will be the same basic story. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But atleast Mass Effect won't have freaking elves or stupid little magic and dragons. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep, and hopefully longer than Jade Empire.

October 11, 200520 yr Yep, and hopefully longer than Jade Empire. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wouldnt count on that. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]

I highly doubt that Bioware had 200+ people working on it, given that they have multiple projects on the go. At its peak JE had 70 from Bioware. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The manual includes the Microsoft people, but the 200+ count were Bio names. Tallying the Microsoft names puts the count well over 200+. Do you have JE? Count. Perhaps not all 200 worked on the game at the same time, but they contributed enough to warrant inclusion into the manual. Hell, D. Gaider wasn't listed back there.

October 11, 200520 yr At the last count, BIO had 244 employees. Look for a link. It doesn't matter how many people workd on JE ata time. I hope people realize that BIo is very much capable of working on multiple projects. Update: "BioWare itself has only 260 employees."

October 11, 200520 yr But it must have an elf in there somewhere. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They'll have a character with pointy ears. Not necessarily an elf. "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)
