HG - "Dragon Age: Origins was one of the best CRPGs of the recent years and it is therefore no wonder that everyone is holding their breaths for the upcoming sequel. Even though I was personally not that taken by Awakenings, I'm hopeful that Dragon Age II will return us to the strong storytelling that was the crowning point of the first game.
As things stand it should be on our desktops early next year and the next six months or so will certainly be filled with exciting news and tidings of the story and gameplay of Dragon Age II. However, nothing can stop us from putting on paper some of the things that we already know."

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 just don't get how people can support this. It is a $100 game at the very least if you buy it day one. Let me back track a second, I got DA:O on release day. The disc has DLC trophies on it DAY 1. They charge $40 for DLC and people still are excited about it?? Call me old fashion but I think the $60 I paid day one should get me the whole game... not even talking about the $40 DLC(That came later, only $15 to get all the trophies on the disc, with the 1 dlc you don't get free). On DAY ONE you had to buy dlc to get 100% How do people justify that? DA:O was the first and last Bioware game I buy at least until I can get the goty/ultimate edition USED, f'ing DLC whores.
