Could you elaborate on this a bit? To contrast, I think of Fallout 3. Sure, there is a lot of violence out in the wasteland and it kind of stinks that I can't, say, reason with mutants. But at the same time, I would not characterize the dominant expression of agency being mediated through violence, but dialog. Are there any games specifically (besides those with a shooting focus like Battlefield, Call of Duty, etc) that capture your sentiments?
