Writing makes gameplay more enjoyable (if its is enjoyable to begin)

Writing is not a game mechanic except in dialogue-based games, anon (the ones with multiple options), and even then it's debatable.

Sure. But try eat a good dish on cardboard surface.

Good job anon, you undercut your own comment and made yourself not only look like a douchebag, but also retarded.

Keep reading. There's only one case and even then it's arguable. Most of the time writing in games is just flavor and has nothing to do with the mechanics.

>Any games that have writing that stands the test of time?
Try The Longest Journey. It's a fantasy story that starts out in a futuristic setting and quickly tears itself away from a specific time or place. Dialog is great and characters are very memorable.

>>4536359
>Blood Omen
Also Soul Reaver, definitely. The dialog in these games sometimes make you feel like you're in theatre. The writing's just so good.
