Currently I play Jade Empire, and I have to admit that - atleast for me - it was better in terms of storytelling than most adventure games nowadays. Generally I don't play many RPG's because of their generic side quests which have nothing to do with the actual plot. However, in Jade Empire that is reduced to a minimum and the focus lies much more on the story. While many people have criticized the game because of its linear structure, I personally think that it was a good middle course between freedom and linearity since it has allowed the developers to communicate their vision to the audience while at the same time give the player the freedom he wants.

Regarding Dreamfall I nearly have the same opinion as insane_cobra. Especially the dialogue was tedious. (although Jade Empire has its problems there too)
