Some Games with Great Writing
9 years ago
In no particular order..
1. Vampire: The Masquerade-Bloodlines
A dark, stylish RPG with a great adult world and plenty of interesting side quests. The main story itself is not only unique as far as most RPG's go, but filled with twists and turns and a very reactionary world.
2. Dominions 4-Thrones of Ascension.
This 2d grand strategy game doesn't have quests, or a story. Some maps have lore in the text box which adds flavor, but the real treat is in the lore of the playable nations. The game possess three ages. Early Era, Middle Era, Late Era.
Each nation has its own history and lore which changes from era to era. Units are unique with their own descriptions(And there are hundreds of them!). Nations rise and fall between the eras. Richly detailed nations from an undead roman(ish) empire to a civilization that lovecraft would love. The game might not be for many, but the lore is a lot of fun.
3. Bioshock
A classic. The world is rich with detail. Great voice acting compliments an engrossing narrative filled with audio recordings and encounters. Learning the fates of all the characters you listen too throughout the game is a reward in itself. This is all without going on about what a great character Andrew Ryan is. Few games from the first person perspective are as engrossing as the story unfolding in Rapture.
4. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
In a galaxy far far away, where a franchise had been hit hard by lack luster prequels and the general inability of the director to write a decent screenplay, there was KOTOR. Built using a D&D like stats and combat system, this character driven RPG contained not only one of the greatest twists in any game's story, but party members with their own unique personality who had their own reactions to what you did in the world.
I know I'm skimping on a lot of other details, but the writing is what matters.
