You know the ones. The games where you have to practically buy the cliff notes or guide books just to keep track of all the characters, nations, terminology, and nonsense that unfolds before you. The type of games where if its a series, missing just one minor entry can make the next entry almost unintelligible for you. The game where you understand everything perfectly, but as you try to explain the story to a friend or loved one, it becomes more and more apparent to you that what you thought was going to be a simply five minute explanation has devolved into a thirty minute essay.

So what game plots did you find convoluted and did you like any of them?
