Dragon Age 2 is actually the highlight of my gaming career. It was the first time I had seen a game that was modeled on tragedy--not the triumph over, but the movement through. It gave players a chance to very viscerally be a part of and make decisions concerning, an impossible instance of civil unrest. The game eschewed villains and heroes, for people on very specific, idiosyncratic paths, whom you could redeem or destroy as your emotional reactions saw fit. It was not "fun" in the traditionl sense of the word, but it was deeply cathartic and as close to narrative art as I have seen in the game world. Jennifer Helper was a huge part of making that a reality. (thanks to William Monroe for bringing my attention to this article)
