The Elder Scrolls & Fallout 3.

Bethesda's games essentially.

Fallout 3, yes. Elder Scrolls, no.

The main problem I have with their games is the story, it pales in comparision to Dragon Age, Baldur's Gate and The Witcher.

Yeah, I can agree with you on that. The story is pretty shit. But nobody plays the Elder Scrolls for the story. 

Still one of my favorite games. 

Cabin in the Woods

WOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I have very little money, and I'd rather experience a bad game with a good story than a good game with a bad story.

If story is the only thing you're looking for in a game, I feel very sorry for you.

Pretty much.

Why?

My only interest in games is the ablitity to tell a story differently than any other medium, to diverge in different directions in a cinematic experience that makes the player that character. I have exceptions for games like Blood Dragon.

The problem in games like Super Smash Bros and The Elder Scrolls is that they have no story to tell or a weak one, they rely upon the player to get enough endorphins from the experience that it is enjoyable.

I could get the same from a board game, and that would likely have more social benefits. I just don't see the point in playing a game that has nothing to say and is closer to a commercial in terms of it's artistic contribution to the medium than actual high art.
