Best Gaming Lore of All Time

Fallout, obviously.

Soma has one of the most interesting lore's imo.

Elder Scrolls.

I love fantasy so...it's games like Elder Scrolls, Dragon Age and The Witcher etc. But hey, Mass Effect works well too.

Elder Scrolls lore is completely ****ed up, but gotta love the Lovecraft love. 🙂

The Heretic/Hexen Games.

My favorite is probably Warcraft. Illidan Stormrage and Arthas FTW.

No such thing. It's COMPLETELY subjective. Period.

Also, I have a lot of games that I love the lore of. Mass Effect (until 3...) And The Witcher are master class games in terms of storytelling and lore. I read the books for the Witcher and it REALLY enhanced the game. It was a masterpiece before but elevated to legendary after. The Witcher 3 really was a love letter to Witcher fans across the globe.

I enjoy the lore of Mass Effect, even in 3 with the Leviathan stuff, just not how it was implemented.

I wouldn't have said Dragon Age before playing Trespasser, but that opened up a LOT of new possibilities. The books really helped to expand the universe too, which I liked.

Elder Scrolls has some great lore, aye. It's part of the reason I could still tolerate the game even if I found a lot of missions to be a bit "eh".

I'm pretty in love with the Fallout setting.

Dark Souls.

I really dig early Resident Evil lore despite the little effort put into characterization.

Oh and Silent Hill's too, although not a fan of Homecoming.

Well you can tell that they're were basing it on B-Grade horror.

I will throw this one out there. Destiny actually has fantastic lore. Bungie's problem was getting it into the actual game. After reading the grimoire though the universe of Destiny is definitely a rich one.

Dragon Age. Hands down.

Haven't played Destiny, but I did enjoy the Halo lore, now that you mention Bungie.

Wing Commander.

Zelda, you *****!

This too.

Adding onto my first comment.

The exploits of all the protagonists being etched down in history, stories about Gwyn, the world is just so interesting and rich.
