Good story...

[Divinious]

Vampire the Masquerade & Bloodlines both had good story lines though the second was let down by being a bug ridden mess.

Appreciate they are not pc games but I've always found myself highly engaged by the Halo series.

I love the sound track to the Halo series. Simply amazing.

Skies of Arcadia, Grandia 2, Breath of fire 3, Final fantasy 7 and 8, Max Payne 1, Mass Effect 2 and 3 (never tried the 1st), Record of Lodoss War, Fallout 3.

I know 3 of those are Dreamcast games and 3 of them I played on the psone but there isn't a huge amount of pc games so far with epic story that I've played.

The bolded are superb for story, Palnsecape Torment is the best story in a game bar none,. The script is above all others seen to this day.

Somebody hasn't played Metal Gear.

+1billion xD i know i said mgs1 but i love then all to bits!!!!! after completing mgs3 you unlock the cinematics in the theater viewer.... i sat and watched one course of the game with just the videos.... took like 9 hours xD it really is like you're watching a super bad ass film but also get to play a part and be a boss!

A boss? Don't you mean a BIG boss?

Nothing like being one of the les infant terriblés, shame that apparently is over.

Last game i played with a good story...Maybe Bioshock.

 

[The-Plethora]

In EverQuest a man told me I had to kill 10 rats as they were eating his food. Good story

 

[Dicehunter]

I really enjoyed the storyline in Prey personally but then I'm a huge Sci-Fi fan.

+1

 

[Scythian]

For myself i'd say:

Assassins Creed 2
Metal Gear Solid 4
Bioshock
Final Fantasy VII

Do like some of the set pieces in the Uncharted series also!

 

[robj20]

Metal Gear Solid series.

 

[m00ch0]

The Original Fallout

 

[Wucked]

Its a toss-up between original Half Life and Deus Ex for me.

 

[Secret_Window]

Deus Ex
Thief 1-3
Max Payne
Alan Wake
Skyrim
Fallout series (although not really a fan)

Each one had a good game story. My favourite of course is Deus Ex, people who have seen me post about Deus Ex before will know this.

 

[janp]

FFVII + X
To The Moon (recent indie game)
KOTOR

I've never played a game and gotten into the story. Not sure why.

I feel the same way. I can't relate the same way compared to say films.

In video games the narration often includes too many made up terms/numbers and obscure names. The Witcher 2 a case in point, whilst the story is good (once you've got it) I felt myself completely overwhelmed by all the different factions/characters.
