Gothic,Gothic II,and Gothic II:Night of the Raven.
In each game,a story is painted to you,from beginning to end. Many things are left for you,the player,to decide and interperet. It invokes your deeper,more beastial emotions in some scenarios,like the urge to survive when you see a fifteen foot,gorilla-like,tusked monstrosity headed your way,or of terror when one of the servants of Beliar (God of Darkness), the Seekers approach. Of anger when you are betrayed by Gomez,if you decided to join the Old Camp. The music in the game is also beautiful,as each song is made SPECIFICALY FOR THAT INSTANCE! In the first game,there's a different combat track for the Swamp,Arena,and New Camp from anywhere else. The characters are believable. The story is compelling. All in all,it is art,in my opinion. If the guy disagrees,I'll say "To each his own." and walk away.
