Anyway, the story is. . .decent. I enjoyed the presentation a lot (most of the major story is presented with stylized artwork and voiceovers; kind of hard to explain), but didn't care overmuch for the main plot. I mean it's fine, but nothing exceptional. Not something you'd play the game for.
You would expect the plot to be particularly good, then, compared to the plots written by game designers themselves.
I need a good RPG.

Hm. I have it as a project to improve my French, but I found the gameplay pretty boring.

If you find The Witcher boring, you'll likely feel the same about Baldur's Gate 2, IWD, etc.

Don't play Mass Effect 2 without playing Mass Effect 1. It's a much worse game.

Yes, play ME1 first... but opinions vary about ME2. It did the most important things better, IMO.

That's true if gameplay is more important to you than story.

ME1 wasn't even going to release on the PC initially, so I think we could be worse off.

Like SVU and NCIS are both crime dramas, stylistic differences can remain under one genre umbrella.
