Plenty on BioWare's forums didn't hate it (although I did, sorry!). I have high hopes for DA3 though.

But you need to determine if they're any good... that was the question, good story driven games.

Well, there are some story driven games that can be seen as good even if majority don't like them.

Also all I wanted to say is that majority of game are somewhat story driven.

Spec Ops: The Line was awesome, Bioshock Infinite was okay ( don't kill me ) , Tropico 4 has a really good and funny story if you can catch it.

To the Moon is probably my favourite on just story.

Other than that, let's see....

Dragon Age

Deus Ex: HR

Spec Ops: The Line

Bioshock Infinite

Tomb Raider was actually surprisingly good as well

Sleeping Dogs story was good, not top notch though

Mafia 2

Kentucky Route Zero

The Book of Unwritten Tales

Deponia

Alan Wake

Lot of different genres there but the story was very enjoyable to me in all of them.

Witcher 1 and 2 <--------------- THIS SO MUCH
Fallout: New Vegas
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2
Alpha Protocol
Alan Wake
Max Payne 1 and 2
Kentucky Route Zero
Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

I also have to say Dragon Age has cliché writing, ugly graphics and bad gameplay. I don't get the love for it. It doesn't even compare to Baldur's Gate

There isn't much that does compare to Planescape Torment and the Baldur's Gate series.
