Gaming Meme: Day 21 – Game with the best story
The video game with the most fully realized story that I’ve liked is the Legacy of Kain series. It started out as a little PSOne RPG with a neat story and multiple endings, then expanded out to the Blood Omen and Soul Reaver stories. You have powerful vampires becoming monstrous gods and some wicked awesome graphics and game play. Playing (which again, let me point out I rarely finish games) or watching others play it’s a great series.
RPGs, those are tougher. There’s always a more chaotic feel to RPGs as good GMs (and I’ve been lucky to have a few of those) and bits of the story which don’t center around you. Even when you poach an idea from another story, movie or whatever, it evolves in a completely different way that a focused single “player” tale. but my favorite, I think, has been a test game of an RPG I wrote based off Anne Bishop’s Blood world that contained completely unique characters and cities. It was a lot of fun, even if it was essentially fan fiction (that never really got written down), and I think it primed me for wanting to write my own, unique RPG.
