After finishing the main questlines for the Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood and verging on completion for the Companions... I've been curious about the main quest. Oblivion's main quest broke my heart with how lame it was, which is why I've been holding off Skyrim's (I got up to the point where your Unrelenting Force is maxed out). On a scale of 1-10 how good is it? No spoilers.
I wouldn't really agree with Uncharted as having a good story. The Uncharted series I'd say are just very well made games in general, and the execution of their stories are definitely above that of regular games. That's basically it though. They're simple, well executed, by-the-book cliche ridden stories that are effective because of their likable and somewhat relatable characters. If Uncharted were more original, I'd definitely include it in my personal list of favorite game stories. Though I do think Naughty Dog is on to something with how their developing team works in collaboration with their writing team.
They're fantastic examples that prove that video games can succeed as a unique story-telling medium. I am so pumped and prepared for Assassins Creed III.
Also on a side note: Does anyone else believe that Altair, Ezio and Desmond are each separate reincarnations of Adam without a clue of their destiny? And beginning with each ancestor post-Altair the clues become ever more prominent? Perhaps that's why Subject 16 stated that Desmond's "running out of time." Desmond = Ezio = Altair = Adam. Genetically they're possibly near-identical, explaining their extremely close appearances to one another. What if Assassins Creed III doesn't take place during a specific time period in history... but rather the period of which it all began? Maybe it'll be set in Africa during the dawn of man, and we'll play as Adam/Desmond as we discover the key to all of this.
" @Kash_1095: I came into this thread about to say exactly the same person. And I don't even like Lost (only watched one episode ever). He just looks like Shepard does (stock standard one anyway) "
Plus he's got the same sort of voice. Also Lost was a great show, the finale made me bawl my eyes out.
