They've never been uphill, at least not on their own.
I used to think BW used to be great until Cobane pointed out to me that all the great games I think of BW making had one thread running through them: they had all Black Isle input in a big way. Baldur's Gate was published by BI, Planescape:Torment was BI entirely, so was Icewind Dale.
Something about the BW/BI partnership worked really well. When that partnership broke up the game quality went downhill. You can tell because the first post-BI game, Neverwinter Nights, was the worst thing BW has ever made by a country mile. And BI games went downhill after that too.
BW doesn't make bad games by any means (except for NWN, which really was awful from the point of view of the game itself rather than the development tools). But they arn't as good as they used to be.

I'll buy game and all DLCs for $10 after a while
because I think its worth that much, will be totally patched
by then, and I don't support piracy
Yea, pretty much this.
I refuse to spend ~$60 for a game any more, even if I'm drooling to play. I'll wait until the Big Sale to buy it.
Case-in-point, despite the fact that I'm a huge Civ fanatic I waited until this last weekend deal from Steam to pick up Civ 5.
It's what I did with ME1 and 2 too.
Skyrim and BF3 were the only games in recent memory I've paid full price for. (actually BF3 was 10% off too & had free Back to Karkand)

Yep. I like how the first thing you have to do in ME3 is rebuild the team you spent the entire last game building.

Yeah ME2 is another good example of how totally shameless BW and EA have become.
The whole game is a glorified side story that does nothing to advance the plot at all.

And ME3 is looking like a tired retread of the first Dragon Age. You're doing the same exact thing: rallying the different kingdoms together to fight Ancient Evil. Which is very refreshing after spending the last game rallying the different superstars of the galaxy together to fight Ancient Evil. EA needs to put BioWare in charge of the Madden series.

Yeah... It's really disappointing that Bioware went back to that boring old tripe of fighting evil.
I hope in their next game the core concept is punching true neutral in the balls.

The problem isn't fighting ancient evil, the problem is the extremely derivative plot structure - which incidentally goes back to NWN. Another reason that game was so awful.
"Do four things in any order, then confront the boss guy!" is not a very interesting game setup.
