If you're looking for a game with excellent writing, check out Pillars of Eternity. It's a modern Baldur's Gate/NWN with writing which won't make you roll your eyes.
I'll second this. Fantastic game, and so's Tyranny, which is by the same developers with a similar amount of great writing.

Very true. Or you're given a map, but it gets scribbled all over and/or thrown away and replaced on a weekly basis.
They mention Gone Home in this, and I would highly recommend it. The writing is the best I've seen in a game, especially if you're into punk 90's riot grrrl stuff.
