All SquareSoft/Square Enix games IMO. This includes the Final Fantasy, Chrono, and Xeno series along with their other games such as Vagrant Story and Legend of Mana. Their storylines appeal to me the most out of all the games I've played so far!

All? That's kind of, um, _wrong_. For one thing, the Saga games were crap. For another, "the Xeno series" was one game.

Probably referring to Xenogears and Xenosaga. They're not both by Squaresoft, but they both have the same director and other development staff.

I can't focus on the story in those games because their voice acting and writing is so terribly translated and performed.

Fallout series is good, especially the older ones. The new one has a crap story and a pretty bad main quest, sadly.
 
Okami on the PS2/Wii. One of the best games of the decade that sadly nobody played.
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
KotOR 2, despite it's plot holes. One of the few Star Wars works that showed there was a dark side to the Jedi Order.
Any other given Zelda game, except Phantom Hourglass.
Grim Fandango
Sam & Max Seasons 1 & 2: I never would have guessed that ending.

Yep, a lot of oldies on my list.

Nothing has ever beaten Deus Ex and probably never will. Mass Effect comes somewhat close.

Deus EX was excellent as was System Shock..wish these cames would come to the consoles

System Shock 2(never played System Shock 1) and Deus Ex 1 and 2 were problably my favorites PC games ever....just had all the elements for addictive play
 
Homeworld and Homeworld: Cataclysm had pretty epic stories. The first one has you commanding the last vestiges of your ENTIRE RACE across millions of miles of space to reclaim your homeworld and birthright, Cataclysm has you as one of the tribes of the first game's race pretty much single-handedly defeating a ravenous cross between the Borg and the Zerg(granted, you unleashed it, but still, none of the other Kiith want to help you put the Beast down.

I've only played the second one twice so I don't remember it's stoyline too much.
