Not all video games are space operas. I'm far from being one of those literary elitists who bluntly state video games can't be well written even though I've read much of what is widely regarded as the best sci fi the genre has to offer.

I'd say that Mass Effect has high production movie level script writing, but I think most will agree that doesn't necessarily amount to much. I won't even put it into the context of Sci-Fi script writing for "these days" as though movie writing had some sort of magical period during which all true classics were created, which to many would be any time period but the present.

Even classics such as Blade Runner were not well received at all during its time and took at least a decade and a re-evaluation before it was given its due regard.

For everyone,

Video games can be well-written and there are games that are well-written.
