My biggest concern is that it seems the area its most hurting is the storyline, and thats what was always what sold me on FF. Even the trailers make me cringe a bit at what seems like some terribly cheesy characters with questionable voice acting.
I think it's fair for us as gamers to ask that more than one game studio take storytelling seriously. Sure Bioware does a great job, as do several other studios at times, but there being exceptions to a rule of mediocrity doesn't mean there isn't room for lots of improvement in general in the industry.
Or to hire people to work on stories and quests that have some type of education in storytelling, because I totally agree. Quests and stories are often quite the piece of schlub lately. Even in RPGS, where they should be strongest, you're right.
However, I really think stories should be improved across the board. Just because we've gotten accustomed to stupid ridiculous stories in action games, and we've gotten used to not caring about them and that's just sort of the norm and we let it slide -- wouldn't it be nice if every game had an incredible story to get you captivated and sucked in? I don't care what type of gameplay it has on the side, there's no reason a good story should be overlooked.
Probaboly depends a bit on the situation. Where is my wife? -- for one, is the absolute biggest question.
I don't think I'd risk myself if he was in there alone, I'd just call the cops and hang out outside. If my wife was in there though, I'd be in there with a righteous violence.
