>>728 I don't know about plot, we're all familiar with the John Carmack quote about plot in a video game I think. But the best writing (subtle difference) of the games I've played was Fallout: New Vegas, I think. It's one of few RPGs where I was invested and immersed enough that I sincerely had trouble and angst doing something I wouldn't do IRL. Especially in the expansions, where each one is based on one central choice, I had trouble replaying it and doing the other choices.
>>731 If the only music you could listen to for the rest of your life was the collected works of one single artist, composer, band, etc, who/which would you pick? Off the record, my "favorite" and the one I picked when a friend posed me this question are different artists.
