Awesome Game, Shame about the Dialogue

Tom Bissell over at Grantland loves Skyrim the game… the exposition-spewing side of Skyrim not so much:

“Dense expositional lore has no place in video-game stories — especially stories that go without highly wrought cinematics — and it seems increasingly clear that video games are neither dramatically effective nor emotionally interesting when the player’s role becomes that of a dialogue sponge.”
