It would honestly be faster to ask which RPGs have good stories.

Geez, posts like these remind me how cynical gamers still are. Poor writers.

It's true, though, and I don't say it without reason.  It's not even necessarily a shot at writers.  Gaming, generally speaking, isn't very welcoming to complex storytelling.  Especially when dealing with fantasy, fans seem to want something interesting but still mildly generic.  They want Lord of the Rings retold, not The Left Hand of Darkness.  Besides, basic Hero Saves the World storytelling is a hell of a lot easier to adapt to gameplay than A Game of Thrones.
