Actually even the original game had excellent writing, what was the 
problem was that it was highly linear and only had a few rooms per 
location and did not have any environmental interaction at all. It was 
more along the lines of an interactive RPG book.

Have not played Dragonfall yet, but I liked Shadowrun returns. Not the 
best game I have played but also not the worst.
