    I still think about garak and under the burning suns from time to time. The plot is decent and while there’s not much writing, what’s there is generally good. I’d rate it better than the vast majority of games, but general consensus would probably place it below planescape torment and disco elysium. I really liked it.

    Recently, battle for wesnoth has remade the delfador campaign and heir to the throne and tried to unify a bunch of the mainline campaigns together. Deceiver’s gambit and the new httt are imo respectively second and third best wesnoth campaigns now.

      Oh now you make me want to play planescape torment again. Really good writing. It always felt like the dialogs were about you and the questions you have, and immediately relevant to what happens next in the game.

      I’m maybe a third through disco elysium, but I found the writing went off-rails too often for my taste, sometimes disconnected with your quest or what happens next. It’s still very well written, maybe just not my “book”. But now I have just derailed this thread from the original topic completely, so who am I to judge.
