RE: Amnesia story award

Yes, I know what you mean. But I can't agree here. It's true that the wise how the story gets told is at least important as the story itself, but AMFP does a really nice job in story telling. It's like a beautiful nightmare, where story and music merge each other.

Skyrim is a great game, but not because of the story. I think when the player can create his own narrative, there is no strongly vision to mediate. It's like play what you want and do what you want without a goal. Gothic for example does it much better. The story telling is similar to Amnesia, where you get thrown in an unknown and dangerous world without any information and you have to explore deeper in the game where the story build up slowly. There is a strong vision given by the game. The story content itself is not a masterpiece - it's just fantasy, but the way how the story get told is definitely perfect.

In Skyrim I often felt like there is absolutely no story, just the quests to solve.

But what I want to say is that the story of AMFP (and Amnesia in general) is by far the best. I also like the story of BioShock Infinite, but the game failed to tell it right (too much shooting and repeating stuff).
