>nice guys
Aren't antiheroes still one of the most popular character archetypes? Jaime is more popular and beloved than Jon, Thomas Covenant literally raped someone, and Rin committed magical genocide. Just google "best grimdark fantasy books."

Morrowind (the lore books and main quest, not the NPC dialogue)
Fallout 1
Arcanum
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
Myst

Beneath a Steel Sky
Titanic: Adventure Out of Time
The Last Express

*sips* Eeyup, 1800-1969 was the greatest period of world literature. Fuck the Greeks, fuck Shakespeare, and fuck postmodernism.

>David Foster Wallace, now THAT was an author man. I tell ya they just don't make em like that anymore. Me and my friends used to toke some reefers and go down to the library and sit around and read stories out of oblivion. It was choice man. A shame you kids will never really get to experience anything like that.

There are smart people on 4chan. Being on this website typically indicates pathology more than it indicates a lack of intelligence.
