- Some off of the top of my head that really really nail the narrative. Not saying that all of these nail their narrative better, and I regret saying that initially, but they're so damn good:
- Planescape Torment: Everyone who loves Xenogears really owes it to themselves to play this. Cuts out a lot of the BS that Xenogears has, as you can run away from most battles, and get your exp from completing quests, and there's no slow moving text. Good candidate for the best soundtrack too!
- Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic 2 with the restoration patch.
- Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines is my favorite game, and I can't recommend it enough, especially if you like 90's goth culture.
- Shadowrun: Dragonfall
- Baldur's Gate 2 Is my second favorite game. Play it, you're missing out! Believe me, it's worth learning how to play! Combat is a ton of fun once you learn how to use magic well.
- Fallout (1)
- Pathfinder: Kingmaker is my favorite indie game. Feel the same way about this that I do about Baldur's Gate 2.
- Baldur's Gate 3
- Suikoden (1) and I hear that 2 is god and win too!
- Silent Hill 2
- The Witcher 3
- Cyberpunk 2077
- And on a somewhat related note, god Ropocop: Rogue City is so insanely satsifying! Very emotional experience.
- There's also an insane amount of fantasy and sci-fi novels, be they e-books, graphic novels or whatever that are a lot better. My favorite ebook is is Dark Matter by Blake Crouch.
- There's a lot of visual novels with great soundtracks out there too.
- If you can deal with a lot of BS(and if you're still playing Xenogears, then hopefully you can.) I don't think any game nails its story like Three The Hard Way. It's free RPGMaker title made completely out of passion. Onyx is god and win as well, and so is After A.I.L.A. Genesis, and these last 2 games makes you deal with a LOT less bs.
- Xenogears narrative is legendary, but it's not your only option. You do yourself a disservice if you think that it's on a level that nothing else reaches.
