If it's possible for anything to emerge triumphant from the fallout over "Mass Effect 3's" roundly disappointing (and, according to no less than the Better Business Bureau, misleading) ending, you're looking right at it. Save for Bethesda's games, no game anywhere gives you the power to carve your destiny as measurably as does "The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings." And even Bethesda's endgames don't pay off on the choices you make as satisfyingly as this one does.

That's a credit to "Kings" taking the concept of role-playing to a certain limit but not past it. Though dauntingly thick with side quests and opportunities to explore freely, "Kings" still subtly guides players through a narrative that's more Bioware (cutscenes, dialogue trees, significant story decisions that fork the road) than Bethesda. You're playing as Geralt, the titular Witcher, and while his destiny rests in your hands, his personality and physical makeup come pre-designed (and for good reason).

Within that structure, though, things can get wonderfully messy.

From Wikipedia:
Henry Demarest Lloyd (May 1, 1847 – September 28, 1903) was a 19th-century American progressive political activist and pioneer muckraking journalist. He is best remembered for his exposés of the Standard Oil Company, which was written before Ida M. Tarbell's series for McClure's Magazine.

Henry Demarest Lloyd was born on May 1, 1847 in the home of his maternal grandfather on Sixth Avenue in New York City. Henry was the first child of Aaron Lloyd, a graduate of Rutgers College and Theological Seminary and minster of the Dutch Reformed Church, and Maria Christie Demarest.
