Disco Elysium is, with a few exceptions, absurdly well written. (P:T is overrated shlock that shows the immaturity of the medium.) Deus Ex turned out to be very prescient, and is entertaining to boot. The Witcher series, while not very strong in its prose, inherited an interesting Slavic fever-dream world and rounds it out with some well written quest lines and characterization: the fetch quests in TW3 might be the most engaging fetch quests of all time because of their surprising depth. I can't think of a single JRPG worth mentioning — even my favorites (like Xenogears) are, at best, a mishmash of half-digested ideas.
