I WANT this game to be good.

I am sure the game will play well and the action will be solid but after playing Doom3 and Quake 4 I really have my doubts iD can create an emmersive world with decent NPC character developement.

They are really good on the tech side of the engine and coding but when it comes to the more 'house of cards' art of building a great story line and character depth they don't seem to execute as well.
