For example, I would consider Dragon Age Origins and Bioshock to have pretty good plotlines. For DAO it was mostly the other quests leading up to the main quest, e.g helping the elves, dwarves, and magi. The Walking Dead was pretty awesome as well. Which games stick out for you due to their deep and enthralling plots? I might look to buy some of em

Oh, Star-wars knights of the old rebuplic. Single best story i have ever experienced in a game.

Deus Ex

Thief 1 2 3

Fallout 3

The Longest Journey

Radiant Historia.

Witcher 1 & 2

I'd also second Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic, the first one and it's sequel "The Sith Lords".

The OP was asking for games with good plot, not those with horrendous plot.

lol that's entirely subjective though. I also think Jade Empire has a great plot but I don't expect everyone to agree.

Planescape: Torment. https://twitter.com/TrentOster/status/183904243772698625?_escaped_fragment_=/TrentOster/status/183904243772698625#!/TrentOster/status/183904243772698625.

Been playing through the Batman Arkham games again. And they're still awesome. Haven't played Origins yet, but Arkham city is just so great. The plot is wonderful, captivating. And above all fun.

The Last of Us. The Walking Dead by TellTale Game. Both are zombie apocalypse games. I have not actually played either one, but I watched their video playthroughs on YouTube.

I rather enjoyed Fallout 3's plot, actually.

The first season of the Walking Dead game had me glued to the screen for a good long while (haven't got around to Season Two yet, though.)

I'll also second KOTOR - that game gave me quite a few surprises and the internal narrative I'd built up never "broke" no matter how much I pushed at it. (My character had a whole arc going, as it turned out - started as a selfish rogue, argued with all my companions constantly, tried as hard as the game would let me to avoid becoming a Jedi... Then Bastilla and I had a "I hate you, I hate you, I... love you" moment, she taught me to love and brought me over to the light side of the force, and so on.)

Papers, Please has a rather clever story, I thought, and tied in quite well with it's game mechanics.

Another one I've been kind of partial to has been the Prince of Persia games - kind of nice little stories, if a little arch. But it all wraps up nicely in the third game with a fitting time-travelling twist at the end.

Mass Effect has an average plot but amazing characters.

Developer who makes exceptional games but with godawful stories and storytelling: Blizzard Entertainment. What's more embarrassing is Blizzard lacks self-awareness and actually believes they are good at telling stories. Not to take anything away from Blizzard, they do makes good games and good cutscenes, but their strong point is NOT storytelling.

Alan Wake, very Stephen King like storyline in it (who, and who's work is mentioned more than once). Too bad the combat sort of svcks

One of the very few games i returned to due to the storyline after an Alt-F4 Shift-Delete rage-quit (That huge ambush in the warehouse near the power plant )

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings has a good story if you follow the Iorveth path.

I second this. No other game I have played has come close to this incredible story

For me its

Dishonored and dlc's
Borderlands 2
Dragons dogma/mainly for the ending aswell as dark arisen
Red dead redemtion.
Half life 2/all episodes.
Metro last light.
Resident evil 4

The Mass Effect trilogy.
