All of this is secondary, though. Most importantly: Very awesome narrator. Near as I can tell, there's only one voice actor in the game, and it's the narrator, and he's awesome. Written awesome, acted awesome, just all-around awesome. The narrator takes what would be a solidly good game and makes it excellent. 110% agreed. There is the singing but I don't know if that would be considered voice acting, it's a pretty big part of the story. Ah, true. I'd forgotten the singing. Am I supposed to be able to understand a word she's singing? Because I can't. At all. Yeah, and it wasn't random lyrics but related to stuff going on in the game. http://www.gamefaqs.com/xbox360/605803- ... faqs/63054

 Re: What Video Games are you playing?
just finished HL2:EP2, now debating on starting lost coast or not, while still playing AssCreed 2.

 Re: What Video Games are you playing?
Finished Bastion last night. How is it this game has the best moral choices I've seen in years?

 Re: What Video Games are you playing?
Just finished ME3. Just got 5 skulls on all levels of Orcs Must Die! Was already planning on Bastion next. I am now more excited than I was before.

 Re: What Video Games are you playing?
Finally got around to finishing Bastion.
A) The choices don't seem so much like 'moral' choices to me, otherwise they would be much, much easier to make.
B) HOLY FUCK THIS GAME WENT FROM AWESOME TO SUPER-SPECIAL-AWESOME.
