Bioware only did Kotor 1 and Jade Empire.

They were willing to redo the interface to take advantage of mice and higher screen resolution. Something EA never bothered to do in their NFS: Undergournd 2 port.

I haven't played any NFS pc ports since then so I can't tell you if they've picked up their game or not.

EA's networking for Underground2 was crap as well. Even old games like Warcraft2 (1996) were better setup for IPX network than NFS was for any type of networking.

One advantage that being part of EA brings however is a more timely PC port. (I guess they can do that now that they have more resources). Just expect the game to have bullSHi* SecuROM 7 which disables virtual drives needed for Emulation and various Virus Protections programs.

Pray they don't include secuROM...
