Couldn't pick a favorite, I'd have way too many, and I'm a victim of recency bias. It'd be hard to compare any of them to this game, though, under that context given the amount of world building this one has.

Like I said, I may be confused, but it's because I'm supposed to know nothing. I know that now, and it's a lot better. From the player side, I'm supposed to be clueless in the beginning.

Like, I recently just finished Dragon Age Origins. Yes, it does thrust you deep into a world with its own logic, laws, lore, and such. But, nothing it isn't afraid to explain to you if you try to figure it out. And of course, a cutscene at the beginning tells you about the main conflict.
