    Something about saving the world does just never get old. I think it needs more than just a "here you go hero, go forth and saveth us" to be a great story, but it is such a common theme and even if it is overused at this point, I still love it. If there's a good plot to go with it, no matter how many times this idea is done over again it still is enjoyable.

    I agree with Narukami though: bring on a game where you get to be the villain! I love being the hero, don't get me wrong, but I'd love to play the bad guy, even just once. That would be so fun. There have been some great games where there were almost routes that you could become a villain in, but they never did go through with it; heroes are morally strong enough to reject things like that after all. ;P But I would still love to have a game like that.
