Best Story - Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn (c) Interplay
Honourable Mention - Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, Vampire: The Masquerade

Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn is a mythic saga continuing the much-loved Baldur's Gate storyline. The Forgotten Realms adventure ensues along the southern portion of the Sword Coast in the merchant kingdom known as Amn. The borders of this region include such diverse environments as the Elven forests of Tethir, the Cloudpeak Mountains, The Drow cities of the Underdark, and the Capitol City of Amn, Athkatla.

Here's a quote from our review of Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn:

Shadows of Amn starts off big, with you awakening to capture by a sadistic mage named Jon Irenicus (superbly voiced by David Warner). Your past exploits and fame has become known to all. You are the offspring of the God of Murder himself and though you don't particularly want to bad, there are others out there who want to use you, primarily Irenicus. You're still not sure of exactly your place in the world so, like Baldur's Gate I, the story develops around you.
