...never changed once in the story, and it's one of the best games of all time. Having a game that's non-linear can be very nice, but it can also be a huge headache sometimes. I've found both types of games: those where the lack of linearity helped the game immensely, and those where I just found myself asking "what next?", before giving up. A game that finds a balance between the two (Final Fantasy 3, Chrono Trigger, etc.) are often the best, IMHO. Then again, it also depends on the game itself.
I haven't played most new PC games. I particularly avoid 1st-person games. Never could get into them. Hated Tomb Raider, but that was partly because I just sucked at it. Never tried the Myst series, and typically avoid any game that looks even remotely like it. Maybe someday I'll try them. :)
