In Response To: Re: Clarification. Slight Extrapolation. Expansion (Silent Knight) : Story is challenging. What do you think of Half-Life and Mass Effect? I'm bringing them both up together because they are very different in the way they present and drive their respective stories. Half-Life is completely in-game, with 'cutscenes' occurring from the view of the silent protagonist. They are scripted, and some you can't miss, but the point is you never break character. Mass Effect is LOADED to the brim with dialogue experienced in cutscene format, and if you spend your time with each and every rabbit trail available your initial play through stretches to 30+ hours. In this particular instance, all the information available to me made the game's finale EXTREMELY rewarding. I think both are awesome, both in content and style, and have stories that have touched me deeply. Based on your comments, I'm interested to see if you have any opinion on them. :) Bonus round: how about Bioshock's twist in using the linear 'do as you're told' nature of the FPS?
