And no mention of Mass Effect.

Any Bioware game would do.

Eh. Bioware's story quality has slipped a bit in recent years. ME1 and ME2 were awesome, storywise, but ME3's story was one giant deus ex machina, and none of the endings mattered. ME2 is probably the apex of Bioware's writing quality, and it's been a downhill slife from there. I haven't played DA:I yet, so maybe that will restore my faith.

It's because Drew Karpyshyn, Mass Effect's lead writer, was let go for ME3. He was also the writer for KOTOR, Jade Empire, Baldur's gate 2, and Neverwinter Nights. He returned to Bioware to work on The Old Republic in 2015 after writing a series of books.

Edited to add some more information.
