The Wombat writes: On their journey towards becoming a household name in the gaming community, Bioware cut their teeth and built a sizable fan base by developing fantastic PC RPG's like Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights. Over the years while they've been busy growing the company and wowing people with everything from Sci-Fi masterpieces like KOTOR and Mass Effect to Chinese legends in Jade Empire, many fans have been clamoring for a return to classic D&D style high fantasy. Thankfully, Bioware has answered the call with Dragon Age: Origins, a brilliant fantasy adventure in a brand new universe that manages to feel both fresh and familiar.
GF365: "If you’re a reader, this list of great games for avid readers is for you. Games are a form of art, and some have written literature in them."
Here are some great action role-playing video games to play while waiting for the highly anticipated Dragon’s Dogma 2.
Talented writers can build worlds that are as wondrous as real-life. Here are the best lore-rich video games for you to get immersed in.
How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.
Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.
I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy
Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.
Crows90,
I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.
narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games
The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.
I've finished one playthrough and had to take a break from it.
I'm sure I'll play through it a couple of more times at least...
I've taken a break for a few days, I just wasn't getting things done. Bloody addictive game.
I think it has terrible graphics. It looks like Champions of Norrath for the PS2. No offense, but after playing Demon Souls, this game is a bit hard on the eyes. I rented this game and took it back the next day.
Maybe I will pick it up again in the future when I am bored.
and i give it a 100 out of 10
I've put over 100 hours into 2 playthroughs and I would rate it an 8/10, fallout 3 for me was a 9-10/10
