I'll write about cases in AA that pissed me off later.
I'm quite fond of Dragon Age 2. I liked the small scale focus on Hawke and his family and friends, instead of yet another Bioware Plot.

I like the dialogue in bioware games more than the overarching stories. I treat their games like stuff that's written by Joss Whedon. I like a bunch of the bits and pieces but I can take or leave the big picture.

If you want a game modded right you have to mod it yourself.

If you enjoyed Illusion of Gaia, be sure to play Terranigma. It's the next entry in the series (the first is Soul Blazer, but it's more dungeon oriented, and I haven't found it very interesting).
The concept behind Terrnigma was to make a RPG where the goal wasn't to fight/destroy something but to build something (in that case, the whole world and human society). It has a quite deep stories, and just like Illusion of Gaia, it does delve into some darker themes (but maybe less so).

A marketer generally perceives Soon as a finite, known, yet unspeakable time-interval; to a fan, the interval appears greater, and may in fact approach the infinite, becoming Never. Once the interval has passed, however, a certain time-lensing effect seems to occur, and the time-interval becomes vanishingly small. We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.

Never played Terranigma but I saw HCBailiey's LP of it.

Robotron 2084.
"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."

I should make mention of Bioshocks 1 and 3. For Bioshock one the atmosphere and the way the world was introduced to me was very well done. Having not played or even heard of System Shock 2 made it all new to me. The revelation at the end also came as a complete 'shock'. Infinite was much the same. I loved the setting, the story, and the gameplay was engaging.
