As the title says, what things do you like to see in game storylines or missions?

For me it's got to be:

Gladiatorial arenas (Oblivion, Fallout 3)

Trippy, hypnotic, quite scary dream sequences/sections (eg max payne 2's funhouse, fallout 3's brain lobotomy + Vault 106 + Dunwich building, taking on a Bloodsucker, controller or poltergeist in STALKER, an awful lot of FEAR)

Basically, parts of the game that actually freak me out and make me pull out the biggest gun I've got and simply expend ammunition. (So in fallout, that was an experimental MIRV, whereas stalker was literally crawling into a corner and spraying anything that moved.)

How about you guys?

As of recently, storytelling in games has probably been the most important feature for me. I like games that can get me involved and actually start to like or become attached to the characters. More games like Heavy Rain and Alan Wake should be released, or even more games with flatout good plotlines like Uncharted 1 and 2 should come out. A good storyline is just as important as gameplay to me.

I like missions were you actually have to think. like dungeons with secret doors opened by solving some sort of puzzle. I agree shiting your pants and wasting ammo is fun and all, but I enjoy challenging my mind.

Customisation. I won't play a game that doesn't allow me to put my own stamp on it.

Yeh, they are great too, specially when mixed with other things. And aren't too generic or difficult. Zelda have some good ones.

good picture who have taken it

I have to agree with the arena being awesome in almost every game it's in.
My favorite feature is game length. I hate it when I play a game that I know just ends when you beat it. I love extra dungeons or side quests, even if they're insanely hard.

A game has either of those done really well and I'm good
