None that I played, at least. From what I hear, only Gothic 3, really, and I aint playing that until several more patches.
Don't get me wrong, I was deeply dissapointed by Oblivions writing, mostly because of the general linearity, and its disconnect from lore. But still, there was for a game these days an extraordinary amount of it, and some reasonably amusing quest ideas. The games that impressed me with writing last year, were all old games I had not previously played (Betrayal at Krondor) or indie games (teudogar).

Of course, if you consider only the EXTREME side of the genre.Critical evaluation of anything written in video games is a lot like judging the intricacies of ballroom dancing participated by midgets.

Reminds me of this hilarious bit on the micro-fascism of evidence-based medicine.dagorkan said:Menticide
The concept of "menticide" indicates an organized system of judicial perversion and psychological intervention, in which a powerful tyrant transfers his own thoughts and words into the minds and mouths of the victims he plans to destroy or to use for his own propaganda. Modern psychiatry may deliver him several tools for this perversion. Our psychiatric standpoint toward this challenge has to be formulated. Examples of menticide are described and ways of protection indicated.

Gothic 3. Even more great about G3 is that it was originally written in German, and the translations to NA English is freakin' fantastic. The dialogue is humorous, very sarcastic at times, even the words "asshole" and "bullshit" appear - so it isn't 12-year-old-ADHD driven dialogue.

MorningStar said:This is the most funny and embarassing thing for anyone who played the first The Longest Journey, the real deal, before this piece of trash took the name and tried to be a sequel to what was one of the greatest adventure game. I will never understand how the fuck the same guy produced those two games/stories. The same guy. A masterpiece, and a piece of trash.
Probably a rock did hit hard his damn head. No other ways.
