BioWare's shutdown has left fans mourning the loss of a pioneering RPG studio, but its spirit lives on in the games that drew inspiration from its classics.

Even outside of party companions, these games throw players into complex situations that can have far-reaching consequences.
Games like The Witcher 3 have also carried the spirit of BioWare's approach to storytelling, with a focus on building allegiances and recruiting allies to aid in the final mission. While these games may not be direct sequels or reboots, they demonstrate how BioWare's influence can be seen in the work of other developers. For fans of BioWare's classics, these games offer a chance to experience the studio's legacy in a new and exciting way.
