Jade Empire
RPG players spend lots of time exploring gothic castles and wastelands of post-nuclear apocalypses. Jade Empire took BioWare’s now-familiar formula established in Knights of the Old Republic and moved the action to a Wuxia-style story set in mythological China. Players pick from one of several characters to play as and can bring a variety of weapon styles and chi-based skills to bear in combat. As always with BioWare titles, Jade Empire features a host of interesting characters and romance options. The only major strikes against it are its relatively short length, and the lack of a modern follow up.
