Bioware did not make baldurs gate, Black Isle did.
EDIT: Checked it myself, various sites lists bioware as devs and Black isle as publishers, and other sites is the other way around so who did what?, i'm puzzled. |

"Mass Effect is a squad-based action RPG, believe it or not. Much like Knights of the Old Republic and Jade Empire, players take on the role of a single upgradeable character who befriends and corrals others to join his quest. Due in winter 2006/2007 (BioWare wouldn't commit to a year), Mass Effect enables players to travel across solar systems and galaxies and to discover obscure planets in which to explore and discover and combat. Exploring new hidden planets is a major feature in the action-RPG as is BioWare's traditional weapon and armor progression trees.
Mass Effect also enables you to swap characters during battle, but more than anything, it puts you in the position of building up your squad in unique ways so that come a giant confrontation with evil, you have a wide variety of tactics and strategies at hand. When building a character, players can distinguish their characteristics, be they long-range or short-range attacks, healing abilities, or special attacks. Before each battle, players will, more than ever before in a BioWare game, plan strategies to activate in battle. And, according to Greg and Ray, the battle will take place in real time, real real time.
One of their main focuses, however, is building better, more credible characters. There will be less but more poignant dialog, and greater facial animations that will work to function as dialog much the way humans interact. Instead of a character standing straight up at a bar, he might be leaning on a bar with a distinct look on his face. The game features finer detail than Jade Empire, and the more credible characters feature expressions, movements, and animations created by animation experts. Natural animations can do more than text or even dialog can do."

Bioware made the Infinity Engine, as well as the BG games. Black Isle, as the RPG subsidiary of Interplay, was the publisher--this was back when Interplay was a major player, and before it was mismanaged into bankrupcy. Bioware licensed the engine to Black Isle to make Planescape: Torment (the best of all the Infinity games, by far) and the Icewind Dale series.
I'm not sure why people think Mass Effect has any link to Vista's release. They have no plans to ever port Jade Empire to the PC, and I expect Mass Effect will be the same.

Do you even know what an RPG is? A game can be both involve shooting guns and also be an RPG. Take Deus Ex as an example.

Also there is a mmorpg in development for pc and maybe for x360 as well.
