The story is pretty much as good as Planescape Torment or other good narratives in video games. Fallout 1 is liniar but very straightforward with the possibility of a peaceful, non-combat ending as a bonus that is impossible not to appreciate. Fallout 2 on the other hand set the stage for non-linear play with a lackluster main story and never really catched up with the culmination that the original game reached. Play Fallout 1 even if you are not very much into RPG's. The plot is just that good.
Great game but I had to launch it on my desktop to save the game, port the save file from C:>Usersname>Appdata>Roaming>Doublefine>Grim Fandango and then put these files on the laptop while at the same time toning down all settings because the game was stuttering. Very advisable not to get discouraged because of that and go through because IMHO this game is better than Monkey Island.
[Minor Spoilers] I will not repeat what is obvious - Witcher 3 is a great AAA RPG with great narrative as the entire trilogy. ------------------------------- The game is excellent, yet my main concern is the way how the game judges the fate of the main characters. There are essentially 5 scripts that upset/cheer Ciri and based on that very important things happen in the end. That is wrong. CD Projekt, if you truly want a masterpiece - make an Enhanced Edition and fix this. Ciri's fate should be based on the same structure as the relationship of Geralt & Triss/Yennefer is - through dialogue, help - not arbitrary scenarios that are so minor that it breaks the logic of these endings. Truly Witcher 3 deserves better. And I hope it will receive that.
