Unironically Disco Elysium

Breath of Fire 2

Anything not from Japan

Undertale

Planescape Torment.

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.

Fallout: New Vegas.

fallout 1

Skies of Arcadia

Torment is great, but if you dont play a character with high int and or wis youre missing out big time. Opposite of intelligently written

The shit tier 7 remake only further emphasizes the majesty of this game

Is this game actually good? I heard it won an award but I never actually looked into it.

Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation

One exception to the Japan thing: DaS1 and Bloodborne are "intelligently written," in that the player isn't constantly tripping over lore and exposition. The obtuseness is often taken to the extreme, which makes the writing suffer somewhat, but that extreme is infinitely preferable to its opposite. So, Miyazaki does his own thing, but I don't think he's a contender for GOAT. Also, Sekiro (which was a dream in gameplay and art direction) had shit writing.

If you like choice-driven rpgs with lots of text to read and options, its fantastic. It also doesnt have a tacked-on combat system clashing with the game, its all done through dialogue options and skillchecks

Sounds cool.

what's intelligent about this game exactly?

It is, perhaps, the best written RPG of all time. But the writing (and art design) are all it has: no combat systems or any choices of major significance. It achieves what P:T hoped to achieve — it's very replayable because there are so many permutations of dialogue based on your character's skills/"thought cabinet." I would gladly pay the full 40 burgers for it.

Planescape: Torment probably has the best writing you'll find.

what the fuck are you talking about dude, what's your problem?

KOTOR II

Literally nothing, ffvi fags are the worst

Divinity 2 of course

Seriously consider suicide, faggot. Your brain is too rotten to be of any use to anyone, even yourself.

I was thinking of getting Div OS 2, but now I'm not sure I want to

Deus Ex.

Bloodborne

>retarded anime poster
nothing new

>This kill the weeb

Your mom looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

SJW shit.

Wouldn't know heard the developer was a leftist

>he plays video games based on the political views of the developers
What's it like to be a slave?

not really

>The game didn't let me kill niggers and women so it's SJW

>so many permutations of dialogue
>all result in the same path anyway
yikes

I love the writing and art, but you have to be into both of those things, because that's all it really has going for it. It's basically a really good point and click adventure game but that genre is seriously outdated.

Divinity 2

I guess it can be good, if you haven't played that many games. You know why people like Disco Elysium so much? Because they identify with the character. They identify with someone who simps and fawns over a woman who left him. Should it be any surprise that this board, filled with anons who say they hate women but secretly simp over them, should like this game? Not to mention that the choices you're offered here are largely irrelevant and fake at times, specially when they seem to give you one but really force you into into another.
