Yes, some direction tends to be good to get players into content, im my experience. But maybe I’m just terrible at sandboxes?

    It’s been a long time, so this might just be the nostalgia goggles talking, but I recall Guild Wars 2 having pretty solid story writing - and… not good, but not terrible voice acting either.

    And honestly, WoW’s story through WotLK was pretty great. Then it hit a brick wall in Cata, and I haven’t looked back since, but credit where it’s due - vanilla through WotLK is a LOT of content.

    THE best voiced storyline in an MMO that I’ve experienced so far is definitely Secret World Legends, but in an incredibly niche kind of way… honestly it’s probably the single most niche game I’ve ever seen, so don’t worry if it’s not your cup of tea, but if it is, it’ll become one of your all time favorites. If you dive in, choose Illuminati for the faction for your first character - the Illuminati storyline is much better executed than the other two.

      GW2 has good quality voice acting, specially after the ditched the weird dialogue screen with characters taking the whole screen. But, at least for me, I couldn’t get into it, felt very predictable and I ended up not caring for any characters. They are mostly annoying.
