I found your post late, and it is a shame, since it is a topic that I have discussed a lot with some acquaintances. That companies are saving the expense of the script and the construction of the characters in favor of graphics or a lot of action.
That works for a while, but the game soon ends up being put aside.

I really enjoy games when they have a good story, and I even go back to New Vegas from time to time, the game is really worth it.

I have found interesting stories, but sometimes they are very short stories, in the games I have tried lately, from time to time I get a surprise and I can enjoy an entertaining adventure.
