"Ultimate Freedom is a problem because its pretty much unachievable"
Yes, but there has to be something between Ultimate freedom, and completely linear. Just put a couple of branchs on the linear story, making it possible to end up at a different conclusion. And dont have me facing a monster I can possibly kill, because he appears later in the story. Most of the big budget games are afraid to be anything but Linear (they spend lots of time and money on their story, so they make you go thru it ALL, in order). I think the whole story telling concept may be holding some games back. Maybe how we play the game, should be the story, rather than just grinding through text messages in point A to B to C. At least we could go from A, then maybe C, then B, if we like. BG does have some of this.
The subject line was "The Ultimate computer game", not "a good game".
